Polsby</blockquote> I have no idea who Mr. Polsby was, but he he hit the nail right upon the head. After a fashion, the UN nimwits are correct - when one body of people holds all of the firearms, and another body of people has been disarmed (probably through the assistance of the UN "Peacekeepers", no doubt), then all of those horrific things can happen. But, given those same "Peacekeepers" records in Africa and other places, I guess they have first-hand experience with just how that manner of oppression works.

Then denied they did it and once again, are blaming the inanimate object for the actions of their own "peacekeeping" forces. Hell, they didn’t just witness it; they sanctioned it.
