The UN and the
Second Amendment
--- Mitchell McConnell To: Union Leader Many correspondents over the years have decried the United States involvement
in the United Nations. Recently, the UN started actively working on plans for
its member nations to disarm their people of all personal defense weapons, which
they refer to as "small arms". Although this effort claims to target
only gunrunners and terrorists, the plans formed by the UN and its associated
non-governmental organizations include international firearms registration as
well as prohibition of any conceivable military weapon (which includes virtually
every gun ever made) for purchase by civilians.
Make no mistake about it. This is how the governments of the world want their
citizens - disarmed and helpless. Fortunately, America still has the protection
of our Constitution and the Second Amendment, which protects the right of
individuals to keep and bear arms for the defense of the nation and themselves.
July 9, 2001 is the date that the UN has set to start disarming the world of
all self defense (small) firearms. A movement has been started on the Internet
to therefore designate July 9 as "buy a firearm" day. If you cannot
afford a firearm, at least buy some ammunition or any other home defense device.
Let's let our Federal officials know that we will not be disarmed, neither by
the UN nor by anyone else.
