The UN is pushing a 'small arms treaty' that will require signatory nations to confiscate and destroy all 'unauthorized' weapons from civilian owners.
What is unauthorized?
Any semi-automatic.
This story is not new.
The UN proposed this years ago and the infamous Snopes claimed it was false, based on the e-mail claims that the UN wanted ALL of our firearms; not on the true proposal that called for tighter licensing requirements and banning of semi-auto weapons (weaseling out of the truth).
Well, that may be the end game, but they are only proposing to force tighter restrictions on gun owners and confiscation of semi-auto weapons.

San Francisco bans circumcision
San Francisco has long been a study in opposites and a hotbed of hypocrisy.
The latest proposed hypocritical move is their banning of circumcision for anyone under the age of 18.
On the surface, this may seem a sane and reasonable response to cultural practices that have been held up as painful and traumatizing treatment of the very young that has little justification.
That argument will probably go on for the next century.
The reality that skewers the lawmakers and those backing the ban is that there is no lower age limit for body piercing.
So, you can place a thousand devices in your kid's face (and perhaps more private areas) but you can't circumcise them until they are 18?
If passed, it couldn't possibly be an anti religious move by the city filled with people who's hostility towards religions that don't justify lying, rape, slavery, and genocide.
Could it?
BTW, the latest body mods allowed in cities like SF are:
LED implants (I light up your life)
Dermal anchors (a place to hang your purse or cell phone?)

One reason for a lazy Hollywood
Hollywood writers don't have to imagine new and impossible situations in order to create new plots to capture America's attention.
Take the situation on the border with Mexico.
First we had illegals sneaking in.
Then we had illegals and drug mules.
Then the illegals were co-opted as drug mules by threats and money.
Then our government just gave up on swaths of the border by pulling out law enforcement and putting up warning signs.
Now we have enterprising bandits stealing the drugs and well equipped Cartel assassins tracking them down for execution.
We have assassins disguised as drug mules and military style observation posts directing teams to intercept bandits as well as spot any attempts by Americans to actually defend their territory.
I can see the Mexican government making the case for absorbing the territory we have essentially ceded to them.
Why shouldn't they be able to claim land we have abandoned?
