--> Foreign governments are anti-gun; foreign people are a different story

[...]With the support of many governments, including United Kingdom and Canada, the U.N. is conducting a relentless assault on the Second Amendment. The U.N. has --> already declared that there is no human right of self-defense, and that American gun laws are a violation of international law because they are too lax. Even those in New York City!

Yet --> Australia, --> Canada, and the --> United Kingdom are among the many nations demonstrating that gun registration does indeed pave the way for gun confiscation. Canada's gun registry was supposed to cost $2 million, and the cost is --> now over $2 billion.
