International Gun Control

Thanks to Arms and the Law, we have this commentary on a recent NYT article on international gun control:

Readers will no doubt react differently to the tone of the story; for my part, I thought it rather too involved in a particular narrative about the heroic efforts of the UN and global civil society activists to overcome the demonic and ignorant efforts of the NRA, which pulls the strings of the US government, to end the flow of small arms and light weapons into the hands of child soldiers in conflicts worldwide.


"Oh, raw-thur!"
Haw!
That's putting it mildly!
