Except that the instant a platoon of blue helmets is put out on American streets for any purpose other than a parade, large portions of the US military will take up arms against the Fed.Gov. There are a lot more Oath Keepers in the US military than you'd ever believe. That's why I always find talk of NATO or UN troops being used on US soil to be silly.
Any talk of confiscation, mass buyback or moving semi auto arms to NFA are just their "throwaways" (in every negotiation one brings to the table some "throwaways" that you don't mind giving up in faux compromise so you get exactly what you want).
Modern liberalism is based on the idea that reality is obligated to conform to one's beliefs because; "I have the right to believe whatever I want".

A World Without Guns <- Great Read!
UN "Peacekeepers" as they call their troops, are contributed by UN Member Nation's military forces. The United States currently has no troops contributed to the UN force. The countries that contribute to the blue helmets are: Canada, Brazil, Italy, Nigeria, Rwanda, India, Jordan, Japan, Cambodia, Singapore, and Australia. If they ever did deploy UN troops on our soil in any capacity I foresee a lot of "holy" blue helmets...

looks like they're trying for the second, fourth, and fifth all at once.

ignorance. Ever found a liberal that you can have a discussion with?
