Know who will have guns if a global gun ban passed? Military, cops, and criminals...

U.S. arrears to the UN currently total over $1.3 billion. Of this, $612 million is payable under Helms-Biden. The remaining $700 million result from various legislative and policy withholdings; of course, there are no current plans to pay these amounts.

The United Nations headquarters building was constructed in New York City in 1949 and 1950 beside the East River on land purchased by an 8.5 million dollar donation from John D. Rockefeller, Jr.. It is a declared international zone belonging to all Member States, and as such will survive in perpetuity, forever belonging to the Member States as an asset of the UN.

THAT is exactly the leap that these groups are making. 'Defend' doesn't mean 'kill'. Ever read any papers by John Lott? HE says that in 80% of all situations involving firearm defence, merely brandishing it is enough to end the confrontation.
Of course, criminals realize this too.
I support defending your property, not with lethal force. However, you're gonna hafta fight me for my Xbox.

I do have reservations about the NRA though. I'm going to have to do more research on this story.
WAIT - Who's calling this a Gun Ban besides the NRA?
THe UN site talks about illicit firearms. Not a gun ban. Can someone help me out?
