That UN convention was notorious for its outcome
put simply
half the participants apparently were waiting for coffee &scones ,the other half werent sure why they were there and what they were waiting for and finally as often happens in these high faluting talkfests a two paragraph statement was issued at its conclusion saying they'd agreed on nothing!!!!!!

NOW ginga alpers gets himself attached to some social studies dept at an aussie varsityas?an associate professor.Him and a comrade produce for wee Mattys consumption a so called study on NZfirearms ownership incorporating all sorts of dubious data from the warring nations of polynesia-Solomons Timor etc etc
wait for it it gets better-whilst Matty claps his wee paws with joy as he gets set to control these firearms owners in NZ(terrible beasts they are!!!!!!!!!)in steps prof Gary Mauser of Simon Fraser university ,British Columbia Canada.now the Prof is the real deal ,regarded worldwide as top echelon on the firearms issue.
He peer reviews the Alpers&co study and announces its a load of tripe with not only massive defects in the quality of data gathered but also the interpretation of that data and the modus operandi of the two academics who participated.IIRC he also treated another one of theirs to another peer review autopsy -no prizes for his conclusions
I had a simlar experience where a colleague showed me an article"antigun"sourced from a tasmanian gerontology nursing academic writing in an NZNO magazine,round about the time old johny howard (little aussie 4eyes PM)curried favour with his guns buy up post port arthur.
this wench quoted Alpers at length,so I"ghost wrote a short reply pointing out how bloody ridiculous her rant was ,ill informed ,what bloody expertise did she actually have in this field ,and so on and also givin NZNO editorial a spray as well.the letter never got published altho a couple of milder ones in a similar vein did.
Anyhow sorry for going off on a tangent,but there is a few facts about buddy Alpers(coincidentally he looks like adam savage ,the ginga on" Mythbusters")
google Gary Mauser -hes bloody interesting to read on this issue,as is another female aussie academic whose name escapes me presently(????Dr Linda),but is a pain in the arse to the aussie ant gun establishment.

Could you re-type that with some proper spelling, grammar and punctuation so it can be understood?

Nobody wants to try to read a 10 year old's ramblings.

Not to mention using infantile slurs like ginga, wench and little aussie 4eyes, just makes you look as childish as your writing does.
