The Anti-Gun Left and the UN
By Rob Hood
01/19/06

Recently my own home state of Mississippi has brought forth a bill that has not yet passed, but is widely supported in the state. The bill simply says that law abiding citizens will have the right to shoot to kill at any intruder in their own home or if the citizen falls under attack elsewhere including their own vehicles (carjacking). I see nothing wrong with self-defense. If this new bill if signed into law, it will set the model for other states who have been pursued by radical left wing groups who oppose guns and who side with the ACLU and UN on the issue.

The UN Gun Ban Treaty, according to the National Rifle Association, asks us as free law abiding citizens to sacrifice our own constitutional right to bear arms in order for us to bow down and worship the great and mighty United Nations. Since when has the UN had the authority or the right to make laws that would affect my freedom in my own country. The UN and EU should get their noses out of people's personal business and tend to what they were created to do. Here we are looking for Iran to build nuclear weapons but instead of the UN worrying about a nuclear bomb they are worried about a few middle-aged hunters legally carrying 30-06 rifles and a shotgun. Which is more of a threat?

Look at what the National Rifle Association has to say about what the gun an treaty does:

NRA : "A worldwide gun ban treaty is working its way through the United Nations. Its backers hope that this treaty can one day be used to monitor, regulate, or even outlaw private gun ownership in the United States. NRA fiercely opposes this treaty. NRA also opposes the use of U.S. taxpayer dollars to develop or promote this treaty".

I strongly agree with the NRA on this issue. The last thing we need is a foreign government telling us what we can and cannot own in our own home. This is the United States of America. We area free and sovereign nation and do not have to listed to the boring and senseless left wing rhetoric of the ever corrupt UN. We have our own laws and if it remains up to me we will keep those laws and dismiss any dealings with any nation that tells us we can't have it like that. If anyone is interested in stopping this very dangerous treaty from the UN, please contact the National Rifle Association for more info. I know I will certainly do my part to make sure this issue dies.

The liberals pitch a hissy fit about NSA program of intelligence gathering, calling it an invasion of privacy, and yet do nothing to defend our privacy against the UN on dangerous programs designed to strip our constitution down to its naked core and replace it with a socialist regime ruled by communist nations. I'll fight to my last dying breath to make sure that my country stays free of such atrocities! Who's with me?

The UN does not have the grapes to deal with Iran since there are no liberal squeaky's left within Iran to agree with them. There are plenty in the US however, so the UN sidesteps the Iranian issue and the squeaks here fall in step behind the 'global anything' band wagon.

American history is not taught anymore or, minimally, *******ized so as not to offend someone but for those who missed it: Our forefathers fought to secure a nation independent of the dictations and mandates from the European rulers. So the things they fought against would not happen here they guaranteed the right of an individual to keep and bear firearms. The ACLU and mainstream liberals just don't get that.
