Here's the actual pre-conference agenda; the document that all the hubbub is about.

http://www.un.org/disarmament/convar...E_20120307.pdf

Looks to be about stopping illegal arms transfers between states and various less-than-legal entities. Like stopping Iran from funneling guns to various Islamic insurgent groups. You'd think The Right would be doing cartwheels over it. Nope. The call of 'not our guns' is out. Must be an election year or something.

Wrong, brother. 9-11 has nothing to do with it. It's these hairless little freaks:



Scuttlebutt has it they have a powerful 'in' with the Democrats: the 'Atmospheric Gases and Hydraulic Extraction' lobby. The Mayans didn't see this one coming.

About the only thing the UN is able to take away is all the parking in NYC.

There are about 55 Million gun owners in 'murica. That's equal to nearly 2000 divisions of armed personnel. To paraphrase a famous European leader (and minor internet celebrity) 'How many divisions does the UN have?'

Don't tell me you're taking the OP seriously?

Really?

I figured mentioning Joe Stalin as a minor internet celebrity would give it away that I was being sarcastic...

Yeah, but you will have to divide those ~2000 divisions by some number to compensate for our lack of training. We could be a force multiplier in a real emergency... but not by a whole lot. Just enough to act as a meat buffer for the regulars who haven't met the advance.

Then again there are some people in Detroit or LA who have more combat experience than some of our troops in Afghanistan....

Nah. I just don't see it. Gang bangers are badass (some of them starch their pants till the damn things stand up in a corner!!), but not badass enough to counter human wave assaults that wrap around their flanks to set up slaughter zones that catch them on the retreat. Suwon? It could very well happen again even to the best of our warriors. Blood flows all too easily under the right circumstances.
