Gun Confiscation and Human Rights

From Of Arms and the Law:

Human Rights and Gun Confiscation,” David B. Kopel, Paul Gallant & Joanne D. Eisen, 26 Quinnipiac Law Review (No. 2, 2008, forthcoming, draft) explores the effects of gun confiscation in Kenya, South Africa and Uganda. Available here, in pdf. (Large file).
Better read that one. Especially if you support the UN's decision to disarm all of the little people.

While your looking, read his brief analysis and link to analysis of the HR 2640. I tried to read that bill last week and frankly got lost in the legalese. (Imagine if laws were actually written so that the citizenry could understand them?)

"Imagine if laws were actually written so that the citizenry could understand them?"

From what I've seen, half the legislators passing the laws don't understand them...

Yeah. I wish I had more confidence in the people we elect. Only problem is I don't and they never seem to deserve it.
