It's not really a twist, Ronbo - we agree that the UN is little more now than a huge special interest lobby and their stance on most issues runs mostly against the grain of the model of a free western-style democracy.
What I am against is the dishonest strategy of whipping peoples' emotions into a frenzy by misrepresenting and blowing a non-issue way out of context. The proposed treaty that was referenced in the OP is
not targeted at private ownership of firearms in the US. Representing it as such is just plain lying in order to gain popularity by pandering to people's knee jerk reactions to an emotionally charged issue.
The UN as it functions today is a waste of time, but they are not coming to take your guns! That can only happen from within if intelligent people remain silent and complacent and allow the loudmouth rabble rousers and snake
oil salesmen on both sides of the aisle to manipulate the sentiments of concerned citizens in a self-serving bid for power and influence. Beware the pied pipers.
