Indeed. Confiscating guns has and will always be a stupid idea. For one, it's wrong because you're punishing someone for the actions of others (school shootings, homicides, robberies, etc.), and two because the people they're trying to confiscate from have guns.

Well the UN can just go play Dixie while blowing it right out their tanks.
The Constitution is exceptionally clear that no outside treaty, alliance or authority supersedes it's own authority. Period. No footnote with further explanation or exception to look up. The last I checked, the DC Vs. Heller Decision had the 9 Robed Ones saying I can have my guns and no one can say squat about that.
So... If the UN wants to go collect up the Chinese litter across central Africa otherwise known as AK-47 rifles? More power to 'em. If they are thinking about the US in the most passing way? Well... They need reading lessons. I believe about 100 Million known gun owners will gleefully assist them in that effort, too. (I know I will!)
