For those not aware it's not just firearms the UN is trying to control.

Thanks for posting. I will share this one on Facebook.

The UN needs to be pushed, maybe into the ocean. The Birchers were right. Nothing good will come of being a part of that organization.

So beside helmets, they don't want owners to change anything that isn't OEM parts.

Do they have to be pale blue? Because that would match my bike.

Good God, really? Why can't they just GO AWAY!!!!

Really though, if someone needs any more reason as to why the U.N. should just be dismantled and all of the bureaucrats piled on the "out of a job" heap of history, this is all that one should need.

The UN was supposed to just be a place for countries to work things out peacefully.
But, like ALL BUREAUCRACIES, it becomes something more, something bigger.

The push for revenue and power....no good comes from that building any more.

Well, my state has made helmets mandatory and that's where the mandate should originate.

NON-BINDING RESOLUTION.

The United Nations did not compel member-nations to pass a mandatory helmet law, it merely suggested doing so as a way to improve rider safety.

That's not wrong. It is, however, counter to individual freedoms and states' rights in the United States of America, and those are some reasons that not every UN resolution or treaty is rubber-stamped.

Dander up-ness over this: close to zero.

The UN should have no power in these areas.

I realize it's non-binding, but having the audacity to even make the suggestion is overstepping in my opinion.

It is still BEYOND the mandate of the UN.

Precisely. They think they should have the power, so they pretend they do.

The UN has no real power, but I believe it serves a very important function; it provides a forum for nations at odds to be heard. Sure they say some dumb things, but it's not an organization that should be dismantled. When they do act, they tend to be on the right sidebar of things.

40 years ago I thought they were fanatics...now I realize they were right all along.

I recently critiqued a story about the IMF and how useless it is. I finished up the assignment by stating that it was my personal opinion that the United States remove itself from all international organizations and then re-evaluate each one to determine if they were indeed succeeding at their stated mission or were just existing to ensure their own existence. The instructor highlighted and enlarged the font for that portion of my critique and gave me extra credit points for that sentence!
