The fact that the stilted language of this document didn't tip you off that it's an Internet hoax designed to whip up emotion is, frankly, a little disappointing.

C'mon, men, don't quit now!  Why let the truth get in the way of a good story!

Does a debunking on Snopes make something indisputably false?

Even if that particular thing was disinfo, nothing changes about the fact that "they" DO have disarming the people as part of the agenda, and it has been part of the agenda for a LONG time. And the rest of the agenda ain't any nicer. The rights and freedoms of the American people have been under serious assault for a hundred years or more, in an incremental manner.

It's amazing the trouble people go through to fake something. Maybe they should try to get a job somewhere to use up their time.  ERC

+1  It has been the agenda of the UN overtly since at least 1997 and it is the agenda of leftists and liberals the world over.  Though the memo is hoax, the subject is true.  The UN has been pushing members to outlaws personal weapons and to ratify the Small Arms Trade Treaty that severely limits sales of sporting arms even though their own studies indicate black market and illegal sales of military weapons won't be affected and is a bigger problem to world peace.

You're probably right.

On June 8, 1949, George Orwell published a novel describing a fictitious world gripped in the vise of constant war and a society held captive by the ever-watchful gaze of a shadowy totalitarian dictator known as "Big Brother." The book has since found relevance again and again in our modern world.

Huxley's "Brave New World" seems to be more accurate then Orwell's "1984" in regard to what might come our way.  Somewhere I recall a good comparison of the two.  Perhaps I can link to it later.
