Global Gun Control

[DanaC]

So, just to clarify for a furriner, is the point of this argument that some people think the UN have an anti-gun agenda as far as the US is concerned? I mean...do the Right think that the rest of the world wants to disarm the American population?

Speaking as a member of The Rest of the World, I can tell you that we really don't care. We don't care if an American suburban household keeps a shotgun under the bed, and we don't care if American dads bond with their sons at the firing range. Many of the countries that make up The Rest of the World have similar orientations to gun ownership. Even those that don't, such as my own, don't care about guns in America.

There is no worldwide/UN conspiracy to rid the ordinary American house and street of handguns. What you do within your shores is entirely your own affair. We may have opinions, but we really don't care.

What a lot of us do care about, however, is the propensity for American guns to end up in The Rest of the World, contributing to all manner of problems and hi-jinks.

Once again: there is no worldwide, or United Nations agenda for disarming American citizens. From their cold, dead hands or otherwise.
