@oralloy,
Let's ignore the actual words of the treaty and instead rely on oralloy's claims about their intent.

I wonder how that works in the real world for you oralloy. I'm sure some of the people at the Aurora movie theater intended to stop Holmes. That means he was stopped, right? Or should we look at reality of the situation?

But reality seems to be something you have a tenuous grasp of.

I remind you that for most of the time I was talking about intent, we did not have the words of the proposed treaty.

In addition, all discussion of intent since we've gotten the proposed treaty, has involved your strident denials in the face of my providing links that prove I am right.

I imagine we'll keep discussing the UN's intent for as long as you want to deny the reality of the links.


As for the proposed treaty, I have not yet formed an opinion of it. However, I will get to that point soon enough.

No. It only means they intended it.

The reality of the situation is, the UN bodies behind this treaty proposal have a long history of calling for heavy restrictions on civilian gun ownership.

@oralloy,
We do have the words of the treaty and you don't get to make up meaning that isn't in the treaty.

Intent is merely your interpretation of what you think they wanted to do. The rest of us will rely on the actual words to determine meaning. Something you seem incapable of doing.

Obviously, that is there intent based on them picking the color blue. They are coming based on their intent. We will just ignore their actions because they don't matter as much as their intent does based on some outside claim.

We do now. We didn't when I was expressing concern about their intentions.

Don't worry. I will never do such a thing.

I provided a number of links, quoting them directly, that proves their intent is exactly what I said it was.

Actually, when it comes to analyzing treaties and law, my capability exceeds yours (and by a very large margin).

That's why you've never once found a single fact that I've ever been wrong about.

Your links don't prove **** since they have nothing to do with what is actually IN the treaty. How hard is this to figure out oralloy?
You claimed they had intent when you didn't know the actual words of the treaty. Then when the actual words of the treaty PROVE they didn't do what you claimed they would you now claim they intended to do something they didn't do. Your argument makes no sense. It is nothing but paranoid rambling. The facts of what is in the treaty shows your arguments about their intent are incorrect.

Really? What UN documents showed their intent was to ban guns in the US? I haven't seen any such documents. You certainly haven't provided links to any such documents. You have however shown you don't know the difference between buying guns in the US and international gun trade.

The NRA is more powerful than the UN, and has informed the UN that their treaty will not be allowed to become law in the US.

Wrong. My links prove what the UN would like to achieve.

The likelihood of me reaching a conclusion that is contrary to reality is quite slim.

Yes. And rightly so.

Hold on there. I've never made any claims about what they were going to do in this treaty.

All I've done is express concern because of the established fact that they wish to ban most or all civilian guns.



parados wrote:
you now claim they intended to do something they didn't do.


Your suggestion that this is a newly-expressed viewpoint is inaccurate.

I have clearly claimed all along that they wish to ban most civilian guns (or even all of them).



parados wrote:

Wrong. It makes perfect sense to be suspicious when people who want to violate your rights start pushing a new set of rules or laws.



parados wrote:

Nope. I've provided direct links to the UN showing that my statements about their intent are accurate.



parados wrote:

Nonsense. Even if the treaty is harmless (which remains to be determined, I've yet to go over it), that would not change the reality of what the UN would like to achieve.

Your slipping in the parameter "in the US" is clearly meant to suggest that their general desire for gun bans everywhere does not include the US.

Sorry, but the US is a subset of everywhere.

Nope. I have never shown that. Nor is it true.

You are right because the actual words of the treaty did NOT do what you said it did?

The treaty in no way shape or form will take guns from US citizens. No reasonable reading of it comes close to that. And yet you claim you are right? Please provide the treaty language that confirms your fears.

I think you should consider getting yourself checked out by a competent psychiatrist.

Would you consider getting the following words tattooed onto the inside of your eyelids:

"Oralloy has not yet made any statement as to what the proposed treaty would or would not do."

There is only one reality. I live in that one.

We'll see. I have yet to analyze it.



parados wrote:

Yes. And I am.

Note that "my claim to being right" does not extend to imaginary statements that I've never said. It only pertains to actual statements that I've made.

Should I find such language when I analyze the proposed treaty, I will post about it, I promise.

While it is true that the UN seems to be keeping their proposal a closely-guarded secret this time, given the fact that civilian gun bans in one form or another have been at the heart of their previous attempts, there is much reason to be suspicious of their current attempt.

Funny how they've been talking for years about banning civilian guns and how they keep trying to push a civilian gun ban into their treaty....


and this

Irrelevant. It comes from the same people responsible for the proposed treaty, and it clearly demonstrates their gun banning intentions.

Not quite. I've merely pointed out that that is what they wish to achieve with their supposed treaty.

I'm a little confused how you can claim they wish to ban guns in the treaty at the same time you say nothing about what is in the treaty.

No it wouldn't. Because there is nothing to force compliance.

And yet you argued that the same language is going to ban guns?
Quote:

Snopes is wrong. The UN's previous attempts at this treaty have always tried to incorporate a civilian gun ban in one form or another.
And yet the ONLY language you could come up with says this as evidence they were banning guns
Quote:
In particular, they should consider the prohibition of unrestricted trade and private ownership of small arms and light weapons specifically designed for military purposes, such as automatic guns (e.g., assault rifles and machine guns)."
The bun prohibition is only a recommendation just as you seeing a psychiatrist was only a recommendation. And yet somehow one has the ability to force action?
