EDITORIAL: U.N. threatens Second and First Amendments
One-worlders are going after your guns
The United Nations is holding secret closed meetings to work out a global arms trade treaty. The agreement, which could be finished by 2012, is a threat to Americans' Second and First Amendment rights.
"Some type of micro-stamping regulations seems all but inevitable. It is very, very likely," the Heritage Foundation's Theodore R. Bromund, who tracks the U.N., told The Washington Times. "Restrictions on trade between private individuals are somewhat less than 50-50, but you surely can't rule that out. Some kind of gun registration and licensing system is an extremely likely probability." Registration proposals cover guns as well as individual rounds of ammunition.
The Obama administration strongly supports the U.N. Arms Trade Treaty and no doubt will use the process to push for gun-control regulations that it can't get through Congress otherwise.
A lot of baloney is floating in Turtle Bay. Gun registration is being promoted despite evidence that the costly bureaucratic system has been a complete failure in solving any crimes or stopping criminals from getting access to guns everywhere it's been tried. "None of these treaties have a relationship to reality," Mr. Bromund explains. "Terrorists are still going to have access to guns because governments give them guns, and they are still going to be able to give them guns." As an example, he pointed out, "The FARC fighting in Colombia get their guns from Venezuela."
As with everything that goes down at the U.N.'s headquarters on Manhattan's East River, America will pick up a disproportionate share of the tab to implement the treaty, with all those countries considered most "in need" taking another free ride. This is counterproductive even without the usual fraud and waste that hobble U.N. programs.
Gun rights aren't the only thing would-be globocops are targeting in the treaty. There is a U.N. discussion paper advancing "the reduction of violence in the media and in video games" as well as "sustained efforts at reeducation and reorientation of [member state] citizens." Whatever the plan, that can't be good for the First Amendment.
Any U.N. Arms Trade Treaty will undermine freedom around the world. The right to bear arms is an individual's protection against oppression anywhere. It took herculean efforts by George W. Bush's administration to thwart this U.N. power grab a few years ago. Unfortunately, we now have a left-wing White House working to make this dangerous treaty a reality.

The UN has enforced a gun ban on the ones called rebels in the Sudan. The result is 3 million people killed since the Islamic terr govt took control of the Sudan in 1989.
As a govt recognized by the UN they can obtain all the weapons they need to continue the killing. 4.5 million have been driven from their homes and this does not even begin to account for the hundred's of thousands of rapes and other violence.
This is Islam at its best.
If anyone wonders why my numbers are so much higher than the Moslem apologist MSM, it's because they only report the Darfur Region, the last area of the Sudan to be cleansed.
edit spelling
If the world was at total peace, would you all still feel the need to own a gun?
Guns in the hand of honest citizens prevent about 2.5 million crimes a year, most with out firing a shot.
Put the criminals in prison. Remove the illegal aliens, including gang members, seal the border to prevent the entrance of drugs and illegals.
I understand crime has really increased since the final restrictions were put of firearms as well as the restricitions on self defense of any sort.
I look as it like an insurance policy. I have fire insurance on my house, but I don't want my house to burn down so I can collect on it.
If the police want protect me, I'll let them. However, it they let someone come through my door with a double bladed axe, then I take over.
I'll bet there has been never a womn that is thinking, "Thank God I don't have a gun as she is being raped".
It is like an insurance policy, that I don't want to use. I am not paranoid. There are no delusions of grandeur because my guns are my guns, in otherwords, I don't show them off or advertise.
It is hard to believe that the US got the idea of the right to bear arms from the Brits. The Brit govt used to require everyone to own weapons in times of civil unrest. The more important people in town were required to have enough weapons to outfit several men for the same reason.
But you guys began losing your right to possess firearms after WWI because your govt did not trust the veterans comming home from the war.
This anti-gun/anti-private ownership of weapons goes back a long ways. Henry IV, King of Franc...

This anti-gun/anti-private ownership of weapons goes back a long ways. Henry IV, King of France. was assassinated with a knife. In there mistaken insanity they banned the double bladed knives. I don't know why because he was killed with a butcher knife.
How many axe murders have knocked on your door in the past? In my limited experience i think none... few preachy christians.... but no axe murderers. So i would have no reason to own one. The few brutal murders that do happen in the country are few and far between... so everyone owning a gun would exaccerbate problems.
Maybe that could be a reason for people feeling they need them is the lack of community?
I have hunted since I was old enough.
As far as I know the govt banned guns because they did not trust the returning military. They mistakenly
viewed them as blood thirsty killers.
While it is a lack of community. Much of the crime is caused by people moving though area where I live. The cities are so big that there is not much of a community there.
So you can keep your assurances that our government could never go down that path. I'll keep my firearms just in case.
2) I am a legal citizen with a legal, Constitutional right to own a gun. I abide by the law so there is no need to track my guns by any means.
3) Don't be fooled by the guise that tracking is simply for public safety. The ultimate goal of the Globalist Left is to confiscate all means of self protection thus giving all power to the State and removing all power from the People.
4) "No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms. The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government" Thomas Jefferson
Illegal immigration is another part of it.
