Old NFO lets a little-known secret regarding the United Nations Global Arms Trade Treaty out of the bag. To wit:
Individuals 55 and older would lose their right to keep and bear arms under a provision that’s expected to be included as part of a comprehensive United Nations Global Arms Trade Treaty.
Seriously? Ban Ki-moon further said:
“But also, the international community believes segments of the population that present a danger to themselves and others, chiefly individuals deemed or adjudicated mentally defective and persons with attenuating cerebral faculties, should be added to that list.”
So persons determined to be mentally defective, and persons with attenuating cerebral faculties are on ‘the list’! What exactly does THAT mean? Older? As in over 55?
No wonder the Obama Administration is pushing so hard for a mental health component for background checks, universal background checks, etc. If the government determines you are mentally defective (whatever THAT means) or have attenuating cerebral faculties (i.e. getting older) you can be included in the ban regarding possession and ownership of firearms.
I’m reminded of the scene in the film Jurassic Park, wherein it’s observed the velociraptors are noted to be continually testing the fences for weaknesses; never the same place twice. The folks who love to control your rights will keep testing the fences.
Until we’re all neatly fenced in.

April Fool’s Joke!
I certainly hope so!

Thanks for the link, and yeah, we may be old, but we’ve been there, done that and WON’T put up with a bunch of ‘crap’…
Posted by Old NFO | April 7, 2013, 7:34 amGlad to be of service.
I’m profoundly saddened and angry such threats to our individual rights and sovereignty even exist!
Posted by guffaw1952 | April 7, 2013, 7:37 amThe crap just never ends, does it? Worse, the pushers are often living off the taxpayer’s dime, one way or another.
Posted by WellSeasonedFool | April 7, 2013, 9:07 amIt was an April Fool’s Day joke on guns.com – including the big “April Fools” graphic at the bottom of the article. I think we’ve been pwned … not that the UN small arms treaty isn’t scary enough already.
Posted by Rev. Paul | April 7, 2013, 9:53 amI truly hope so!
That’s what I get for failing to verify – AGAIN!
