The United Nations Wants to Take Your Gun!

 

"We strongly endorse community initiatives ... to encourage the disarming of civilians...."

- Our Global Neighborhood, 
published in 1995 by the UN-funded 
Commission on Global Governance.

Are you concerned that the United Nations...
...is anti-gun?

A UN disarmament film, Armed to the Teeth, states that only those guns that are "used by armies and police forces to protect us" can be considered "legal." On the other hand, privately owned firearms are portrayed as a pestilence: "Small arms are not fussy about the company they keep. They can murder indiscriminately...Small arms are like uninvited guests who won't leave. Once they take over a country, the are virtually impossible to get rid of." The anti-gun statue at UN Headquarters in New York City accurately reflects the organization's anti-gun bias.

Are you concerned that the United Nations...
...has already disarmed civilian populations?

A 1999 UN "Small Arms" report approvingly noted a number of gun control measures in various countries, including weapons turn-in and destruction programs. UN forces have already been used to disarm civilian populations in Kosovo, Haiti, and Somalia. This same policy is likely to be implemented here -- if our leaders continue to transfer more power to the UN.

Are you concerned that the United Nations...
...plans to disarm civilians as part of its program to disarm nations?

The UN-funded Commission on Global Governance (CGG) called for civilian as well as international disarmament programs in a 1995 report entitled Our Global Neighborhood. In the chapter "Promoting Security," the CGG claimed: "Militarization today not only involves governments spending more than necessary to build up their military arsenals. It has increasingly become a global societal phenomenon, as witnessed by the rampant acquisition and use of increasingly lethal weapons by civilians -- whether individuals seeking a means of self-defense, street gangs, criminals, political opposition groups, or terrorist organizations." Note that civilians "seeking a means of self-defense" constitute a security threat -- juts like "street gangs" or "criminals." In 1997 UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan endorsed a "Small Arms" report that defined as small arms such weapons as "revolvers and self-loading pistols" and "rifles and carbines."

Are you concerned that the United Nations...
...threatens to abolish the Second Amendment?

The 1997 UN "Small Arms" report recommended the "All States [nations] should ensure that they have in place adequate laws, regulations and administrative procedures to exercise effective control over the legal possession of small arms...." So much for the Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution!
