Yes, I forgot that the UN has been a champion of the right to bear arms. Don't they subsidize the NRA?

Seriously, I'll trust Rand Paul, the one who actually has experience in politics, including the UN, rather than the one throwing the conspiracy smears.

The nuttiness isn't the UN's goal, but the vast overstatement of their power. The UN has no control over US internal affairs, and no matter how anti-gun they may be, talking about how the UN is going to come take our guns is just plain conspiracy craziness.
