* A UN Committee of Governmental Experts in March 2001
recommended that all nations install centralized "gun
control" with detailed record-keeping and prohibitions
against selling "small arms" to anyone except other
governments.
Make no mistake: when the UN refers to "small arms," it means
rifles and handguns. In our Second Amendment, the word "arms"
means, at the very least, "small arms." The UN program thus
directly infringes our Second Amendment.
Americans: your right to keep and bear arms will soon face a
united world of enemies. Even the so-called human rights
advocates Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch have
joined forces with the regimes of Cambodia, Colombia, Zimbabwe,
Syria and Iraq to press for world "gun control" at the July 9
Conference. Do you really think the current U.S. government
or the Supreme Court will defend the Second Amendment against
the UN?
Three Propaganda Points
The international victim disarmament forces focus on three
talking points. First, they treat firearms as the cause of
war, violence, unrest, and crime. In their advocacy papers,
they actually blame the guns, not the aggressors or the evil
ideas. They stand with activist doctor groups who claim
firearms are a "public health menace."
Second, the victim disarmers follow the morally bankrupt idea
that armed conflict is always wrong. They cannot tell the
difference between a good government and an evil government,
or between aggression and self-defense. Armed defense is
morally right and is a moral duty under the Judeo-Christian
tradition and under the non-religious philosophy of natural
law. The victim disarmers never distinguish between oppression
and righteous self-protection.
Third, the anti-small arms forces say they are only going
after "illegal" or "illicit" possession of firearms. They
urge governments to confiscate and destroy all firearms that
are owned illegally. Who defines what is illegal? The UN's
member governments: Red China, Iraq, Colombia, and the dozens
of other oppressive and/or corrupt regimes, many of whom
obtained power by force, not election.
What It All Means -- Your Next Move
Future UN action may well declare American gun owners to be
criminals. If your gun is too big, too small, too powerful,
too accurate or too ugly, it may be deemed dangerous to world
peace and thus illegal. If you reload your own ammunition or
fix guns, you may be deemed an illicit trafficker in small arms.
Get smart, gun owners, and get moving! Every gun owner must
fully grasp this looming threat to our rights as Americans.
