Supply And Demand...Through The Eyes Of A Moonbat..

Subtitled: Your UN Hard At Work

Nations Urged to Create Gun-Free Zones

United Nations 19 January, (IPS): "The widespread proliferation of small arms and light weapons can be curbed more effectively by reducing demand than by merely cutting off supplies, according to a new report on arms control released here. "Unless the motivations and means for gun acquisition are understood, arms reduction interventions will fail," warns the 68-page study titled "Demanding Attention: Addressing the Dynamics of Small Arms Demand".

Yes. The motivations are distracting ones indeed. The desire to live and not be forced to surrender your belongings or watch your family rapped and murdered can be a powerful thing. But to cure such an addiction, the simple way out is to make all weapons of self defense illegal...and in turn a lot more expensive....and this then creates more criminals. More criminals means the UN gets to commission more fact finding studies, and that means more jobs for left wing lunatics.

"Demand reduction must be taken more seriously than has hitherto been the case," the report says, pointing out that arms control programmes designed to reduce violence should adopt a demand perspective."

No. "Gun Free Zones" would do nothing of the sort. It would INCREASE demand as it forced people to skirt the law in obtaining the means to defend themselves, or haven't these idiots heard that criminals pay little attention to laws and would still have all the guns they wanted?

Typical liberal, kindergarten approach. The whole class gets punished because the bad kids act up. Heaven forbid the monsters in Africa and other dirty places would simply be shot dead in the street like the dirty dogs they are, and be done with it.

And, in calling attention to the Annex to Hague Convention IV Respecting the Laws and Customs of War on Land of 18 October 1907, which prohibits the employment of "arms, projectiles, or material of a nature to cause superfluous injury, I hereby submit that, to all peoples of good will, the United Nations is one of the greatest enablers of superfluous injury the world has ever seen, and as such should be disenfranchised post haste.
