The title is from an article on the sacramento bee website.
PR news wire. US news wire.

Obama administration has finally started showing their stripes. They have joined a coalition of other nations at the UN in pushing a global gun ban.

Not sure if this is true yet. But if it is then not much else needs to be said.

Sorry,
Can't find details yet but it's PR News.
Link won't attach.

Unedited news wire. Not out on main news yet. Could be incorrect but I don't know.

Looks like the article title is spun pretty hard but implications are still not clear. Wording in the document is purported to cite the prevention of proliferation of illicit firearms.

Problem is, the US already does that.
Fast and furious for example.

Where are all the 'cold, dead hands people' that like to tell us they won't get theirs?

Oh and is there a link to the story at all please? I'm off to Google it.

Magic fairy dust that instantly removes all firearms and knowledge of combustion and related physics from society is a "good idea"

An ban, any prohibition for that matter, is a pointless exercise in futility.

Are you 12 years old? The criminals will always have guns because they DON'T OBEY THE LAWS. That's why they are criminals. It just means the rest of us will be defenseless.

I'm on my phone. Didn't believe it at first but googled it myself. Couldn't get the link to work but not much else on detail yet that I could find. It looks like the real deal.

I am not surprised at all. He asked the UN for more time because he needed american support to win reelection.

I am now more interested in what he meant by telling Russia's Medevev he'd have more flexibility after the election. What's going to happen now?

You got a cop to follow you and your family around 24/7 rather than just show up after the assault has taken place? How'd you manage that?

I really don't think he'll be successful in this. Because it would have to entirely remove an amendment to do it...IDK I think too many people will vote against it. Even me leaning toward liberal believe I have a right to bear arms (Esp being female in a country where men go around raping and murdering women) I believe I have a right to protection, and even if they took guns away I'd have tasers, bows, arrows, knives etc, they can't take them all
But I really hope that this goes nowhere. Besides what of hunting? I love my deer meat they need to take into account how much revenue they bring in from hunting licenses and permits for guns to hunt they are so ridonkulous!

So...What happens when the law turns on you? That's what people are worried about.
