UN and Guns.

[nicki]

The UN Global gun grabbers say that small arms across the world are causing death and destruction.

From what I see the price of AK47's in many parts of the world is around 100 USD.

Gee, I was thinking. What if we had a "Sponsor a AK47" program for US Citizens.

Here is how it would work.

You would donate say 200 dollars so that peace corps type workers (CIA)could go around to hot spots and buy up the guns quietly.

To make sure that the guns have been bought up, they would be shipped back to the US.

Once in the US, one of two things would happen to the gun.

1. The gun would be de milled and sent to the donor. This way the donor would know for sure that there was one less AK in a thrid world country since they would have the gun. This would have accountablity.

Of course de milled parts could be used to build a AK with a US receiver. We don't want total junk, otherwise few would donate.

2. The donor would have the option of paying a fee to keep a working model. In all honesty the fee would have to be kinda step, say 500 dollars plus a 200 dollar transfer and it would be classed as a clsss 3 transferable full auto.

Cost of a full auto AK would be approx 900 dollars. The 500 dollars could be used so that there would be funds to buy thing like RPG rockets and heavy machineguns.

Of course I am not limiting this to only AK47's, the sponsorship program to help disarm the rest of the world's hotspots would save lives, the fact that it would lead to a large increase in registered full autos would be a "unplanned side effect".

If the "Unplanned side" effect resulted in say 1 million plus registered full auto's, it would open the door for a challenge on the NFA restrictions because the fact is "full autos" would be more common.

Hey, the UN complains about a glut of small arms worldwide in the wrong hands, I just thought why not have a global gun buyback that is funded by American gun owners.

After all, the American Taxpayer shouldn't be asked to take on any more debt and with American gun industries unable to keep up with domiestic demand, this proposal shouldn't effect the domestic industry too much.

You would think that Obama should jump on this, after all, doesn't he care about the children of africa and other 3rd world countries:p

About $20 USD on the streets of Pakistan.

The problem of course is that the people they're most scared of having guns aren't the third-world peasants who kill themselves off (after all, they're just savages, useful mostly as excuses for hosting fancy dinners and embezzling large amounts of "aid" money), but the taxpayers in first-world countries who are being fleeced for their budget.

You're against disarming the US public but you're all for disarming other countries? Hypocrisy at its best.

I can see how this will create a demand for AK47 around the world. People will continue to produce, import, steal more because there's a new "market" for them.

Now just why in the hell would we want to HELP the UN with their 'Millenial Goals' to disarm the rest of the world??

Nicki, you keep trying to come up with 'the Big Idea' and you are obviously coming at it from the Left.

/btw, Obama's ONLY piece of significant legislation attempted in his ~140 days of experience at the national level was the Global Poverty Act. Besides giving away a great deal of OUR tax money to foreigners, it also espoused vigorous support for the UN's Millienial Goals, including their call for the total disarmament of civilian populations. Which included the US.

Because it wouldn't help the UN, but would provide us with cheap full-auto Ak-47s with UN's blessing? Wouldn't that be ironic?

Of course, it'd only happen when pigs fly... Then again, I'm willing to train a pig to paraglide just to see this happen :)
