Thanks so much for saving us from a nonexistent problem...

Maybe you could make up a few more and rescue us from those too.

I wouldn't mind seeing Bolton take out IANSA.


Would he bravely enter this fight wielding his desk, his financial holdings, or lesser peoples' expendable children?


Suit him up with a flame thrower.

As for avoiding the draft, I don't hold it against any civilian who avoids being forced to go kill and die in an overseas war they don't believe in.

NRA Press Release:


Senate Votes To Address U.N. Gun Ban Crusade

Friday, September 07, 2007

With the United Nations continuing its efforts to enact draconian, transnational gun control laws in countries around the world, yesterday the U.S. Senate passed the Foreign Operations appropriations bill, which included an amendment by Senator David Vitter (R-LA) that seeks to address the U.N.'s ongoing international gun ban efforts.

By an overwhelming 81-10 vote, the Senate passed Sen. Vitter's amendment to prevent any funding to foreign organizations that infringe upon the Second Amendment rights of lawful American citizens. Any organization that adopts a policy anathema to the U.S. Constitution's Second Amendment would no longer be eligible for U.S. financial assistance--including the U.N.

The gun ban issue in the U.N. has been percolating for more than a decade, and while NRA has been successful to date in precluding the U.N. from enacting its anti-freedom agenda, the bureaucrats at Turtle Bay remain committed in their zeal to push for additional restrictions on the rights of free gun owners in the United States and around the globe.

Global registration and tracking of firearms would inevitably lead to the global disarmament of free citizens everywhere; something that we cannot and will not let happen. NRA will remain vigilant in monitoring the U.N.'s anti-gun actions and speaking out in the international community in support of Americans' Second Amendment rights.

Too funny.

If somebody said 'A global registration and tracking of cars would inevitably deprive free citizens everywhere of cars and force them to walk', people would laugh it off and declare that person a paranoid idiot.

But here you have the single most powerful non-profit organization in the US with 4.3 million members talk that kind of rubbish, and people actually believe it.

Hardly rubbish. We aren't going to stand for the UN trying to pass measures like this.

Certainly rubbish. You can't show how even a global registration of guns would inevitably lead to "the global disarmament of free citizens everywhere." You can't even tell us how the UN would single-handedly enforce any kind of regulation without the consent of the United States.

Therefore: nonsense.

The United Nations are not a government. They can only enforce what the member nations are willing to do.

For the United Nations to enforce registration of guns in the US, it would take your government to pass that kind of regulation.

The whole premise that the UN could enforce anything on US soil without the consent of the US is pretty silly.

With a republican administration in place, at least in theory, it can't happen.

With Hillary KKKlintler in the whitehouse, who knows? It would depend on how much of a war the UN and others of similar mindsets wanted to see.

I am afraid there will be a huge medical crisis if Hillary is elected. People like Gunga having heart attacks and strokes from the high blood pressure her victory would cause.

The good news is Hillary will eventually have them all on insurance.
The bad news is she won't take office for 3 months after she is elected.

I can't believe the Democrats really want to put someone as mean-spirited and divisive as Hillary back in the White House.

And the alternative seems to be that freedom-hater Obama.

You aren't falling for what? For the claim that a registration of firearms wouldn't necessarily lead to a ban?

Okay.

So I'll claim that warrantless surveillance programmes will inevitably lead to dictatorship. Am I right?

They hate your freedom? How so? Outside of the 2nd Amendment, are you also worried about the assault on the Constitution when it comes to the suspension of habeas corpus, or to warrentless wiretapping? Or are you only concerned about your guns?

For a claim that the UN's nefarious registration program in particular wouldn't lead to a ban.

Probably not. Is there a long history of people using such programs to lead to dictatorship?

There is a long history of gun banners starting with gun registration, contemptuously telling us that we had nothing to fear about confiscation, and then turning around and banning the guns as soon as the registration went through.


Are the people doing the warrantless wiretapping saying they want to create a dictatorship?

The people behind the UN's nefarious programs are saying they want to take guns from civilians.

They wish to violate our Constitutional gun rights.

I see no assault on our Constitution regarding habeas corpus or warrantless wiretapping.

The habeas corpus thing only applies to foreign soldiers who don't have any Constitutional rights to begin with.

The warrantless wiretapping violated the federal FISA law, but I see no violation of the Constitution.

Really? I am not familiar with this history. Which countries banned guns immediately after they required registration?

Britian doesn't ban all guns but has registration.
Australia doesn't ban all guns but has registration.
Canada has gun registration but they still have guns.
Germany passed gun registration laws in 1928, 7 years before Hitler took power and 10 years before his mythical gun ban that didn't really happen.

It seems your "long history" might not exist.

It was widely used in dictatorships or totalitarian states. There's been a good movie recently about the wiretapping in the German Democratic Republic. ("The Lives of Others" - really good movie. If you get a chance, you should try to see it.)

So yes, I think warrantless wiretapping programmes and totalitarian regimes are like Tweedledee and Tweedledum.

Really? A long history of gun banners? Name three.

No.

Are the people trying to get guns registered saying they want to create a dictatorship?

Really? I thought they were saying they want to keep guns from illegal arms dealers, from dictators arming their militias, from people forcing kids to become child soldiers, ....

But the Constitution only says that the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed, right?

How does a registration of guns violate the right keep and bear arms?

The fact that they didn't quite ban "all" guns doesn't change the reality that guns were banned.

And if they require a person to have a "need" before they can own a gun, it is a de facto ban, since they then tell a lot of people that they don't "need" the gun.

The fact that they didn't quite ban "all" guns doesn't change the reality that guns were banned.

And Australia has a de facto ban on most of the types they don't ban outright, by requiring people to "show a need", and then denying that people need the gun.



parados wrote:

It does in reality.

New York City and California also had gun registration that was supposed to "not be followed by a gun ban", and was in fact followed by a gun ban.

New York City, California, Australia, and the UK (there's four) all took guns away from people after first passing a registration program.

They say that in addition to their goal of taking guns from civilians.

It doesn't. But then the registration is used to track down people after the guns are banned.

It is the gun ban that follows the registration which violates our rights.
