Obviously the speaker is an idiot: my guns are <i>most</i> dangerous just after the ammunition is absented from the gun. I would be glad to give them a personal demonstration, though they might have a little trouble reporting on the results :-). I do agree that the "issue" of ammunition should be addressed: they can "issue" me any excess ammunition they might have. Re: arming merchant ships. No reason to stop there; inform them that disarming <strong>any</strong> ship/boat flying the American flag (i.e., American registry) will result in not having a Navy. “In our view, the issue of ammunition should also be addressed in the context of the Program of Action because in the absence of ammunition, small arms and light weapons pose no danger.”

Not that this is likely to be much of a priority to Indonesians themselves, but since so much of world trade passes through Indonesian waters, it should be a priority to us. Simplest way: lightly arm all our merchant ships passing through that area. Inform the Indonesian Navy that should they attempt to disarm them, <i>Indonesia won't have a Navy.</i> IIRC, Indonesia is also in serious need of piracy suppression.

We should clearly follow their example. From the CIA World Factbook:<blockquote>Current issues include: alleviating poverty, preventing terrorism, consolidating democracy after four decades of authoritarianism, implementing financial sector reforms, stemming corruption, and holding the military and police accountable for human rights violations.</blockquote>Just take away guns from those ugly rich Americans, and everything will be all better.
