It means don't trust them. It also means they watch Bugs Bunny. We should have withdrawn our support for them many years ago.

I think it would be to political for me to post my true feelings and what most other enthusiast thinks. SO with that I will not say..
BUT otherwise I would say that maybe they have the solution for spin drift?

Re: What EXACTLY is this supposed to mean?
It means the UN wants a monopoly on power to change governments... If they managed to get their control regulations in place years ago, the people would not have been able to overthrow governments like Gadaffi & the ANC would not have been able to force the Apartheids South African Gov into discussions… It means that the UN wants to put people in place and protect them from the people being abused… but hey, I’m preaching to believers… But alas, we’re all equally fucked…

Re: What EXACTLY is this supposed to mean?
Several things come to mind...how much money did they waste on this and who paid for it? We have freedom of speech and expression in our country but I feel the UN is a guest and I'm insulted by their taste in art work! And finally for the welfare of the The United States of America I hope no UN troops ever invade our great nation that I love.

Sort of a politically correct thing to say what my old girl friend told me a long time ago...about treading the straight and narrow path or risk the consequences.

Re: What EXACTLY is this supposed to mean?
I find it interesting that it appears to be a representation of an American design. Not an AK or even a Luger, but an iconic American firearm. Art is all about details. Beware the message.
It would definitely be a bad day indeed if UN troops ever attempted to enforce treaties on US soil.

I knew it was made by a Swedish artist but I couldn't recall his name so I had to google it..
The revolver was made by Carl Fredrik Reuterswärd. He drew a sketch of a revolver, with a knotted barrel, after the murder of John Lennon. He later turned the sketch into that sculpture.
If I recall correctly Swedish mail-order company <span style="font-style: italic">Hobbex</span> sold replica Colt Pythons in the 80's. Reuterswärd may have bought one of those and used it for the sculpture.

+1 well said, the UN is a guest in our country and should respect our boundries. I think that organizing this propaganda is as disrepectful as flying anothers countries flag over our own! As a guest, they should respect our history and cultures. As we all know, taking up arms is what allowed us to excercise such freedoms as the freedom of speach! UNBELIEVABLE. Where does it end. I am careful to not start a political discussion, but BEWARE OF THE U.N.

Now we all know the only revolver on the big screen to have a barrel that long was, the one the Joker pulled out to shot down the bat plane with. LOL

Re: What EXACTLY is this supposed to mean?
It means they would like to eliminate your #2 Guaranteed right, so that they can then work on taking the other nine...like dominoes.
From the UN website:
<span style="font-style: italic">"The anti-gun statue at the UN Headquarters reflects the organization's anti-gun bias. The sculpture, created by Swedish artist Carl Fredrik Reutersward, was designed as a tribute to John Lennon and stands as a peace symbol.
Location: 1st Ave.& 44th St."
</span>
Amazing how they're all about helping...but not really helping... when it comes to aggression all over the world.

Re: What EXACTLY is this supposed to mean?
If it is meant to be a symbol of peace they should have done it with a landmine or an IED !
The UN was a great idea when it was invented. It just never progressed and doesn't seem to deliver these days.

Seriously for those who do not keep up on the world news if this treaty is signed it will supersede your Second Amendment rights . That is a FACT. IF it is signed UN troops would have the right to enforce this treaty on U.S. soil. Pay attention (Its coming to towns near you  ).
