U.N. Members, Gun Lobby Face Arms Fight

September 30th, 2007 . by TexasFred

UNITED NATIONS (AP) - Britain, Japan, Australia and others are pushing for an unprecedented treaty regulating the arms trade worldwide, in a campaign sure to last years and to pit them against a determined American foe, the National Rifle Association.

In what U.N. officials say is an “overwhelming” response, almost 100 governments have submitted ideas for such a treaty, to be reviewed over the next year. There’s an “extremely urgent” need for controls on the international gun trade, says Kenya, echoing the sentiment in much of guns-besieged Africa.

But in the U.S., the NRA says it sees a creeping attempt to limit civilian gun ownership within nations - even though the focus now is on setting standards for arms exports and imports.

The international issues “necessarily will come to involve at some point domestic laws and policies regarding firearms,” said former congressman Bob Barr, a leading NRA voice on the subject.

“That’s not what we’re looking at here,” countered Greg Puley, of the Control Arms coalition of pro-treaty advocacy groups. “The point is to control trade in weapons that contribute to conflict and atrocities.”

The NRA and other U.S. gun lobbyists have helped blunt earlier efforts at the United Nations to rein in the weapons trade. Last December, the U.S. delegation cast the lone negative vote when 153 nations approved a General Assembly resolution initiating this new treaty process.

OK, once again we’re being faced with the hypocrisy that IS the U.N. and that of tired old European nations and their minions as the cry goes up to do away with the guns again, the last time that call went out, Hitler kicked Europe all to hell, until the Americans waded in and took Europe back…

This is the most ridiculous notion the U.N. and their libber buddies can possibly take on, dictators, just like our own brand of criminals here in the USA, don’t go to the local gun shop and buy their weapons, they steal them, they buy them on the black market or they confiscate them from LEGAL and law abiding gun owners by passing resolutions and legislation that turns those LEGAL gun owners into outlaws, you see, an armed society is a polite, protected society, and unarmed society is a group of subjects, and at the mercy of the dictator in charge…

All something like this does is once again bring up the effort being made by a great number of world leaders to make this a One World Government, led by the U.N. or some other even more sinister organization, and our very own president, being the avowed Globalist that he is, will quite likely roll right over and jump on this band wagon…

The individuals attempting to orchestrate this move say it’s not going to be directed towards the individual gun owners of this nation, DON’T BELIEVE IT, not for one minute, this is nothing more than an effort to take guns out of the hands of every man and woman on earth, and unless you’re a part of this coming Gestapo, you’ll give up your guns or die keeping them…

And I am going to give them all of mine too, as soon as they show up to take them, there’s one catch though, I give em mine bullets 1st…

    This is yet again another attempt, in the long run, to undermine the Constitution of the United States. They (elements of authoritarianism within the U.N.) continue to attempt to weaken, and destroy freedom and liberty across the entire globe. So what? It’s only guns…. Well people it’s time to wake up. What will it be next? Your right to spew forth whatever you care to say? Or, it could be any of the other rights that are found in the documents that are the foundations of the United States of America? Those rights are all needed in place, for one supports the other, and so on. Chip away, or remove any of them and the entire ideology that they support will come apart.

    Buy your guns and ammo now. If possible, buy them from private owners…no paper trail. If a democrat gets control of the White House and has democrat controlled congress, you can bet your life they’re going to come after your guns. Chucky Schumer and Hillary will see to it.

    I am no big fan of the NRA, even though I am a life member. But they are on the correct path on this one.
