U.N. INSULT TO CONSTITUTION A GOOD REASON TO HALT U.S. FUNDING, SAYS SAF
In what can only be a carefully-timed, deliberate insult to the United States and its Constitution, the United Nations is hosting a conference on global gun control aimed directly at our Second Amendment, on dates that include our national holiday, July 4.
The U.N. Conference on Global Gun Control, scheduled June 24-July 7, poses a direct threat to our constitutionally-protected individual right to keep and bear arms, said Alan Gottlieb, founder of the Second Amendment Foundation (SAF). Gottlieb will attend the conference, but he suggests that this may be an opportune time for Congress and the White House to reconsider this nation’s level of financial support for an international organization that now wants to write a treaty that specifically attacks a cornerstone of our federal constitution, and the lynchpin to our liberty.
“Had it not been for our tradition of private firearms ownership,†Gottlieb stated, “our citizens might still be subjects of the queen. Had it not been for America, all of Europe might be speaking German. Were America not the ‘great arsenal of democracy’ that President Franklin D. Roosevelt described in 1940, the world would be a far different place, and the sanctimonious bureaucrats at the U.N. might instead be working in labor camps.
“Not once, but twice in the past century, American citizens have risen to the challenge and quite literally saved the world,†Gottlieb recalled. “From our heartland have come heroes like Alvin York, Audie Murphy, Joe Foss and others who grew up in a land of freedom and knew what it took to defend that birthright.
“Yet, as we celebrate our 230th anniversary, global anti-gunners, under the guise of reviewing a U.N. program of action on small arms and light weapons, want to create a binding international agreement that could supersede our laws and constitution,†Gottlieb said. “We have done much for the U.N. and in return, the organization has hosted despots, tyrants and dictators whose record of human rights abuses, aggression and genocide speaks for itself. And now comes an attack on our constitution, on our national holiday.
“America has always answered the call to help our international friends and neighbors,†Gottlieb observed, “but when our very way of life is attacked, maybe it is time to find more worthy endeavors for our material and financial support.â€

Oh my God. You people are the most Biased Close minded people in the world, and some of the most uneducated. The Second amendment does not protect our Personal right to bear arms. That amendment was originally formed so that the States had the right to form thier own Militia, not so that you could own a machine gun.
I do not agree to the banning of all guns. The only guns that should be allowed are guns used for hunting. Unless you are a police officer. There is no reason for someone to own an AK 47. That gun serves no useful purpose. Machine guns, military issue guns serve no purpose and should be banned from legal purchases. Hunting weapons serve a purpose and are not easily reloaded, and are not capable of firing at a hundred rounds a second. Police should be issued thier handguns and then leave them at work locked away. Parents should teach thier kids to stay away from anything but Hunting guns and should also lock whatever guns are in the house away from thier kids so that they don’t take out Daddy’s gun and accidentialy shoot thier friend.
Anyway that’s my Piece listen or not.
Typical… The supreme court has made it very clear in past decisions that the 2nd amendment does protect our right to have guns. And is not connected to the militia provision. It is you who is ignorant. Don’t believe me look it up. The supreme court has also ruled that the 2nd amendment gives us the right to have military type guns to protect ourselves from the government.
>There is no reason for someone to own an AK 47. That gun serves no useful purpose.
Your clearly ignorant about what a US style AK47 is. It is not a machine gun it is a hunting rifle that looks like a machine gun. Why should we be prevented from shaping our guns to look like machine guns?
>Machine guns, military issue guns serve no purpose and should be banned from legal >purchases. Hunting weapons serve a purpose and are not easily reloaded, and are not >capable of firing at a hundred rounds a second.
What are you talking about they have not been legal to build and sell since 1968? Even tho the supreme court in its rulings said the 2nd amendment protects the right to own them.
Its really strange how you Anti Gun nuts will come in here place your off topic comments in the wrong area and then say we are ignorant. you clearly know nothing about the history of any of the court ruulings or anything about guns. I have posted some more info on the main page for you to more inform yourself about this topic.
What the Second Amendment protects is an individual right to bear military weapons, not for hunting, not for target shooting, not for repelling foreign invaders, but for the purpose of preventing oppression of the people by their own government. The historical, textual, structural, doctrinal, prudential, judicial, and legislative evidence is devastating.
I own AK-47s,AR-15s,Mini 14s,SKS and will use them as self-defense guns, with hi-cap clips
