UNITED NATIONS DRAFTS NEW GUN TREATY
Sunday, October 16, 2005 - FreeMarketNews.com
The United Nations is trying to ban guns again. The latesst
"small-arms treaty" seeks to abolish the right of any citizens to
own virtually any kind of firearm. In the United States, such an
effort would strike at the heart of the Constitution’s Second
Amendment. Recently appointed U.S. diplomat John Bolton has
already stated his view on this activity, as quoted by NRA
Executive Wayne LaPierre in The American Rifleman, “The United
States will not join consensus on a final document that contains
measures contrary to our constitutional right to keep and bear
arms.”
LaPierre references a document circulated by the International
Action Network on Small Arms entitled “Ownership” which spells
out what the organization has determined to be “minimal” goals
toward this end. Among other things they recommended – with
LaPierre’s translation in parentheses:
• Prohibit civilian ownership of certain weapons (read: handguns
and semi-automatics).
• Prevent the build-up of private arsenals (read: ban gun
collecting).
• License all legal users. Register all small arms. Implement
safe storage requirements (read: U.N.-imposed site inspections of
your home with power to take your guns).
• Limit the carrying of guns (read: the end of Right to Carry).
• Restrict ammunition sales to license holders only.
Since it is unlikely that the United Nations will be dissuaded
from pursuing these changes anytime soon, LaPierre sets out the
job at hand. He concludes, “For us the task is daunting, and the
fight is enormous. The world gun-ban crowd is deadly serious. As
NRA members, this is our fight. And it is a do-or-die battle for
freedom.”-DS

Face reality. ONLY nations UN has ever successfully bullied are
powerless Third World ones - not nuclear powers! That's why all their
endless badmouthing of Israel never translated into any action - nor
did their (previous) endless badmouthing of America.
No $4 to park! No $6 admission!
