The Worldwide Gun Control Movement
Ron Paul | June 27 2006

The United Nations is holding a conference beginning this week in New York that ironically coincides with our national 4th of July holiday. Itâ??s ironic because those attending the conference want to do away with one of our most fundamental constitutional freedoms â?? the right to bear arms.
The stated goal of the conference is to eliminate trading in small arms, but the real goal is to advance a worldwide gun control movement that ultimately supercedes national laws, including our own 2nd Amendment.

Many UN observers believe the conference will set the stage in coming years for an international gun control treaty.

Fortunately, U.S. gun owners have responded with an avalanche of letters to the American delegation to the conference, asking that none of our tax dollars be used to further UN anti-gun proposals. But we cannot discount the growing power of international law, whether through the UN, the World Trade Organization, or the NAFTA and CAFTA treaties. Gun rights advocates must understand that the forces behind globalism are hostile toward our Constitution and national sovereignty in general. Our 2nd Amendment means nothing to UN officials.

Domestically, the gun control movement has lost momentum in recent years. The Democratic Party has been conspicuously silent on the issue in recent elections because they know itâ??s a political loser. In the midst of declining public support for new gun laws, more and more states have adopted concealed-carry programs. The September 11th terrorist attacks and last summerâ??s hurricanes only made matters worse for gun control proponents, as millions of Americans were starkly reminded that we cannot rely on government to protect us from criminals.

So it makes sense that perhaps the biggest threat to gun rights in America today comes not from domestic lawmakers, but from abroad.

For more than a decade the United Nations has waged a campaign to undermine Second Amendment rights in America. UN Secretary General Kofi Annan has called on members of the Security Council to address the â??easy availabilityâ?� of small arms and light weapons, by which he means all privately owned firearms. In response, the Security Council released a report calling for a comprehensive program of worldwide gun control, a report that admonishes the U.S. and praises the restrictive gun laws of Red China and France!

Itâ??s no surprise that UN officials dislike what they view as our gun culture.

After all, these are the people who placed a huge anti-gun statue on American soil at UN headquarters in New York. The statue depicts a pistol with the barrel tied into a knot, a not-too-subtle message aimed squarely at the U.S.

They believe in global government, and armed people could stand in the way of their goals. They certainly donâ??t care about our Constitution or the Second Amendment. But the conflict between the UN position on private ownership of firearms and our Second Amendment cannot be reconciled.

How can we as a nation justify our membership in an organization that is actively hostile to one of our most fundamental constitutional rights? What if the UN decided that free speech was too inflammatory and should be restricted? Would we discard the First Amendment to comply with the UN agenda?

The UN claims to serve human freedom and dignity, but gun control often serves as a gateway to tyranny. Tyrants from Hitler to Mao to Stalin have sought to disarm their own citizens, for the simple reason that unarmed people are easier to control. Our Founders, having just expelled the British army, knew that the right to bear arms serves as the guardian of every other right. This is the principle so often ignored by both sides in the gun control debate. Only armed citizens can resist tyrannical government.

Won't happen and fuck the U.N.! They need to stay out of our business!

This has been making the rounds on alot of gun forums and obviously a lot of people are outraged. It's also nothing new...the U.N. held a similar conference years ago. That resulted in severe limitation of gun ownership rights in various places across Europe.

If the U.N. wants my handguns, they can come take them from me...

guns are ment to kill humans, whats the point in having one?!
If no one had a gun, it would be alot safer in the streets. Especially where i live in Toronto, where illegal guns from america are being smuggled here and being used in violent crimes.
The Americanization has brainwashed Canada, and its disgusting, with weed prices rising because of Pro American Stephen Harper, aka asshole.
There should be a limit in a Prime Ministers Salary, even if he's using his great status to make bussiness deals.
Fuck Guns and Fuck the America government, not the innocent people.
If everyone in america woke up and realized there country is being taken over in tyranny, they should protest, everyone stop going to work and have all celebrities and athletes refuse to play until government is in order and fair for everyone.

What the hell are talking about? Judging by your spelling I would guess you aren't very educated and haven't any real knowledge about what your speaking.:thumbsup:

"if everyone in america woke up and realized there country is being taken over in tyranny, they should protest..."

it's a good sign of tyranny when the government wants to take your guns away. read history, read the federalist papers, the intent of the 2nd amendment is quite clear.

slaves are disarmed. you can't count on the feds to bring food or water like with hurricane katrina, but you sure can count on them to start confiscating guns, which doesn't make you safe.

Are you going to shoot the planes?



" a report that admonishes the U.S. and praises the restrictive gun laws of Red China and France! "



Well i have been to china and france, and there is ZERO chance of getting shot there. So i guess it works



"They believe in global government, and armed people could stand in the way of their goals."


The UN doesnt fear armed bubbas


"They certainly donâ??t care about our Constitution or the Second Amendment."


Neither do i



"Tyrants from Hitler to Mao to Stalin have sought to disarm their own citizens, for the simple reason that unarmed people are easier to control. "


Americans have less freedoms than any people other industrialized nations. You certainly havent shot your way to legal weed or gay marriage.


"Only armed citizens can resist tyrannical government."


Um last i checked you could vote for anyone you want. You dont live in a fascist state, you have choices. The suggestion you are going to shoot government forces is pretty wacko. You dont your leaders, you get 1 vote like anyone else




"but you sure can count on them to start confiscating guns, which doesn't make you safe."



<akes your neighbours safe, as you are a crazy nut and shouldnt have guns. Hunting is ok, stockpiling guns to go ruby ridge is not ok.

supporting gun control makes no sense, because if the government takes away guns from law abiding citizens, only criminals will have guns. how easy will it be for an armed criminal to rob, rape and kill if they know their victims are unarmed. besides criminals dont get guns from gun stores, they get them from black market gun dealers.

[Breukelen advocaat]

There should be a Worldwide BIRTH Control Movement - then maybe we wouldn't need as many guns.

The same kind of people that want unlimited access to extremely powerful weapon usually want to have the right to have unlimited amounts of children -a privledge which most of them have, for now.

Kind of makes sense, when you think about it. Praise the Lord and Pass the Ammunition! :dance:

^^what does a comment like this contribute? You did nothing be critic my spelling. Explain why I have no knowledge.
You can use your gun, when the governments got tanks and heavy artillery. The best way to fight against that is Peaceful Protest. You dont need guns to over throw your government, all you need is the knowledge and time.

I have a gun and I'm a liberal...
