Well, they both have to do with our 2nd amendment rights. According to Forbes magazine, a proposed UN agreement (all terms not yet made public) this will supersede state and national gun laws to align them more with other countries. Many, if not most, other countries, particularly in Europe have strict gun control and this could set other things in motion that could conceivably at some point allow for total gun confiscation if the UN desires. The Obama administration supports this. Click to read the article:

Concerning the random attacks/muggings in Chicago (which has strict gun laws), I have 2 words; CONCEALED CARRY. The old saying "when guns are outlawed, only outlaws will have guns" is exactly the truth. I have worked in and around law enforcement and many, many, many, if not most, offenders with more than 1 felony also have at least 1 conviction for "felon in possession of a firearm" because the nature of criminals is: to disobey the law!!! Seriously, how do people not get this?? Article in the Tribune has details:
