#1 Eliminate thugs, not guns

#2 "We are not out to take guns away from Americans," U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan said on Friday.

No you're not. The last Dude to try that got a clear and unquestionable message at the bridge at Concord Massachusetts. The first Bridge too far. The end result was he and his followers ended up out of America. Since "We the people" have had enough political double talk for generations, your little 'redefining' isn't going to work either. Hope you enjoy Geneva boys.

#6 "We are not out to take guns away from Americans," U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan said on Friday.

Ha! That is one of the most arrogant statements I've heard from Tranzi HQ, it's almost like they think they could.
Let me see you try.

#7 The UN is nothing if not tactless. Remember that map produced by a UN bureaucrat that proposed moving the entire population of the US to its coasts, and converting the majority of the continent to empty preserve?

#8 See what the tranzi left are up to regarding the brass ring of disarming the American public.

#9 I think there IS a need for a "new UN measure on small arms."

The declaration that everyone in the world is entitled to possess them and use them for self-defense.

Whatcha think about that, Coffee?

#11 ...An acquaintance of mine works for a fairly well known strategic think tank, and some years back he had the opportunity to meet one of his opposite numbers from what had been the Soviet Union. Eventually they got around to the subject of a possible Soviet invasion of the US a la Red Dawn . The Russian's response was horrified. "Are you mad." he asked. "We worked on the assumption that almost every adult male - and most of the juvenile ones - had access to a firearm and wouldn't have been afraid to use it. A physical invasion of the US, no matter how militarily weak, would have been suicidal."
If we had the Red Army that rattled, imagine what the Tranzi/UN crowd thinks of us.

#12 Reminiscent of Yamamoto

You cannot invade the mainland United States. There would be a rifle behind each blade of grass Japanese Admiral Yamamoto, 1941

#13 Yamamoto and the Red Army are fools, invading the US is child's play.

#14 "We are not out to take guns away from Americans," U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan said

You bet your ass, you're not! There's an estimated 200 million small arms in the USA alone! Even the Soviet Union wasn't suicidal enough to seriously contemplate an invasion of the US outside the boundaries of a full-scale nuclear exchange (and I think the idea gave them the willies even then).

Go ahead, Coffee - give it your best shot! Some phrase about cold dead fingers comes to mind (though I'm betting the cold dead fingers would be yours and anyone who backed ya')...
