Interesting read over at the Volokh Conspiracy concerning the UN's disdain for our 2nd Amendment. I've got just two quotes from the article here. I love the arrogance of this first one (we don't have to bow down to the UN? We're still free to make our own laws? Oh, Thank you, Mr. UN Poobah!) “States remain free to have their own national legislation,” said Daniel Prins, chief of the Conventional Arms Branch of the United Nations Office for Disarmament Affairs.Here's another goodie. Stalin himself couldn't have said it better:
Citizens should only be allowed to own guns if they are given a government permit, and the permit should only be issued if there is a "good reason" for possession or or "genuine need." In particular, permits to own guns for self defense should not be issued unless the applicant proves that he is in immediate danger.If you cherish the second amendment while looking upon the UN as the stinking dung heap it is, do yourself a favor and read the entire article, it's short and very well put together. http://volokh.com/posts/1216681864.shtml
Enjoy!

and they can pry it from my cold dead fingers, that is if they can find my body under the large pile of brass.
The one salvation to all this is that the UN is too weak and incompetent to carry off any attack on our 2nd amendment.
