This is the best part:



Of course, disarmament is standard UN procedure.  And it works well; ask the 350,000 Rwandans who were killed by a few thousand machete-wielding enemies after being disarmed by the UN.

perhaps we should train in urban combat too...

just a thought...

You've made my point.  We, as the US Military or as the UN, go into other countries and disarm their citizens, for OUR "environmental security."  Then we leave, and they're left to the wolves.  This exact thing has happened several times in the last decade.  And this is a GOOD thing?  Human Rights are exactly that; the RIGHTS of ALL humans.  I'm ashamed at our civilian and military leadership for committing these crimes under the aspices of "we're the UN, and we're here to help you."

I don't believe that our government is going to try to perform a mass confiscation.  They'd be slaughtered, one way or another, even today.  A decade or two from now; maybe not.  In the meantime, they're culling the herds by passing ever-more restrictive gun laws, forcing us to choose between becoming a criminal and being disarmed.  Most people will choose the latter.  For the rest, when the time does finally come, they will be demonized to the point where no one is sympathetic.  The media has had decades of propaganda experience that they'll be able to put to work like never before.

If the US *must* be in foreign countries, we should be setting the example that we claim to follow, which is freedom and liberty, not victim disarmament.  And meanwhile, we're also training our "UN pals" on victim disarmament, and these people won't have nearly as much of a problem disarming Americans, especially with all the experience they're building up in other nations.

Our own forces are setting up genocides as we speak.  That they haven't happened in OUR country yet is only a minor issue...

Troy - take off the tin foil hat - enage brain before engaging mouth - I expect better from you

Gee next war - we just let them keep their guns they won't shoot us will they.

None of the areas that SARguy mentioned - nor Rwanda have civilian firearm ownership their dictators see to that.  - The UN did not disarm Rwanda - nor any others - these are weapons that have been stolen/distributed by/for Thugs.  The RKBA does nto allow you to rumage through a US NG Armoury and take what you wish.

For unknown reasons everyone like to place the image of America onto other countries.  Ain't so.

To all the TINFOILS's - would you rather have your troops dies in a foreign land due to unpreparedness - so you can rest easier that your paranoid fantasies will not occur?

Boland or someone:
I wondered why our Rangers were killed in Somalia.  Feed the bastards, so they kill you out of gratitude?  Doesn't make sense.  I read in SOF (I know, I know) that our soldiers were conducting door-to-door searches/confiscation of small arms while the "warlords" were (by agreement) allowed to keep theirs in warehouses.  I have no other confirmation of this, but it does make sense as to why our soldiers would be attacked and killed.  It is too bad our men are given those kind of orders.  Can anyone confirm/deny this info?

GW, thanks for the info.  My main concern is whether our men were going door-to-door confiscated arms.  If so, I find that chilling.  Where do we (America) get that authority?  If if is extended by the UN, then how much of a leap is it for them to extend the same authority to some other country to come here and do the same?  Couldn't happen?  Stranger things have.
