The new measures will extend the duration for record-keeping for data on firearms and ban the purchase of firearms by persons under the age of eighteen. This directive will ensure that traceability for all firearms is strengthened and rules for the acquisition and possession of them will be more rigorous. These requirements will also apply to converted weapons, the release stresses further.
According to teh information, the measures will align the pre-existing directive 91/477 on firearms with the so-called United Nations Firearms Protocol to which the Community acceded in 2001, opening the way towards its ratification. The Directive will enter into force 20 days after its publication in the Official Journal. Member States will need to adapt their relevant national legislation within two years following this publication. The approval of the Member States follows a positive vote in the European Parliament last year.
Commission Vice-President Günter Verheugen responsible for enterprise and industry policy welcomed the agreement in the Council that would ensure greater security in the trade of firearms.
"Citizens will be better protected against uncontrolled circulation of firearms, by beefing up our tracing systems and requirements, notably as regards minors, Verheugen said.

Afterall - when we run out of room here in the US it'll be all that much easier to - <insert evil laugh> -take over Europe, enslave the sheep and use their infrastructure for our own needs.

The more gun control in Europe the better...

What I'm waiting for is for the "disaffected youth" in the Paris suburbs to move beyond the shotguns they've been taking shots at police with, and have an all-out sectarian war with smuggled-in AK's. I'm sure lots of sleeper cells in a lot of Europe already have stores of them.
The EUs will be shocked, absolutely shocked at the flagrant disregard of gun laws.
(I think the only place still well-armed is Northern Ireland. Most of the fighters did not surrender their SMGs and sniper rifles!)

And, as usual, I'm sure the murderers, muggers, drug dealers, hired killers, smugglers, and sleeper-cell jihadists will all comply with the new regulations.
Sure they will.Yesterday I discovered that my local college seems to have a well-equipped machine shop. Time to get enrolled and start cranking out my own gear.

The worst part is one of the top criminologists in this country who refers to the incident as "pranks", commited by "young boys". The oldest of the gang who shot up the place was well into his 30's...I've got a burning desire to firebomb his home, his car, his place of employment etc. See if he still thinks its "just a prank". Since I'm white, and therefore racist be definition, I'm sure it will be considered a hate crime immediatly...

"Silly peasant. Guns are for dictators."
That's what the Small Arms Treaty amounts to.

Suggested new UN motto?
"Silly peasant. Guns are for dictators."
That's what the Small Arms Treaty amounts to.

So, quitting the UN is a bad idea, why?

This statue outside their building in NY is continually offensive. Especially given what nations are on their "human rights" council. Next year, it'll include Cuba, Saudi Arabia (public kangaroo-court executions are okay?), Nigeria, and China. China. A place where there's mobile execution vans.

It's not. The UN is our enemy. It exists to prop up and legitimize some of the bloodiest dictators on earth, it provides cover for scams worth billions of dollars, and it opposes everything America stands for.

That picture makes me want to show up in NYC in the middle of the night with a very large saws-all. I think it'd be freaking hilarious if someone turned that revolver into a snubbie.

America should leave the UN.
When America leaves, the entire show will come crashing down.

Oh, we damn well agree. Except our politicians don't. All too many of them are too happy to give our money to the UN. And there are plenty of people here who love the UN...

How did I miss that story?
Crap thats depressing, I think we invaded the wrong damn country!
That statue in front of the U.N, would it be a protected for of free speech to cut it down to a snubbie?
Even if it isn't, its a big statue, a sawsall wouldn't work...what would?

Timewarp FTW.
You guys seem to be quoting an ancient TFL thread where this statue was brought up.
