U. N. BURNS GUNS ON JULY 9: YOUR RIGHTS ARE NEXT



A May 25, 2001 Alert From Jews For The Preservation Of Firearms

Ownership-America's Aggressive Civil Rights Organization

(Subscribe/UnSubscribe instructions near the end of the message)



By Richard W. Stevens, Editor, "The Bill of Rights Sentinel", Jews for the

Preservation of Firearms Ownership



It is "Small Arms Destruction Day" on July 9, 2001. Plans are underway for

government agents to ignite huge bonfires of handguns, rifles and other

firearms in major population centers worldwide.



No joke. The United Nations Conference on Small Weapons is sponsoring

massive gun burnings on July 9 to mark the opening in New York of the UN

Conference on Illicit Trade in Small Arms and Light Weapons. Organizers of

the Conference say "the public destruction of weapons" is good because it

"is one of the best ways to attract attention" to global civilian

disarmament.



Whose guns will be burned? Privately-held weapons that have been captured or

confiscated by governments, of course. But certainly not the guns held by

governments and their armies, police forces and death squads.



What Is Going On?



Having failed to rid the world of nuclear weapons, the UN lately has been

working to disarm the world's civilians. Going under the name of "reducing

illicit trafficking in light weapons and small arms," the UN's expressed

goal is to concentrate power into the hands of UN

member governments:



* A UN report in August 1999 recommended that "all small arms and light

weapons which are not under legal civilian possession and which are not

required for the purposes of national defense and internal security, should

be collected and destroyed by States as expeditiously as possible. "



* Secretary-General Kofi Annan in April 2000 called for "non-proliferation

of small arms," declaring that "these weapons must be brought under the

control of states. "



* A UN Committee of Governmental Experts in March 2001 recommended that all

nations install centralized "gun control" with detailed record-keeping and

prohibitions against selling "small arms" to anyone except other

governments.



Make no mistake: when the UN refers to "small arms," it means rifles and

handguns. In our Second Amendment, the word "arms" means, at the very least,

"small arms. " The UN program thus directly infringes our Second Amendment.



Americans: your right to keep and bear arms will soon face a united world of

enemies. Even the so-called human rights advocates Amnesty International and

Human Rights Watch have joined forces with the regimes of Cambodia,

Colombia, Zimbabwe, Syria and Iraq to press for

world "gun control" at the July 9 Conference. Do you really think the

current U. S. government or the Supreme Court will defend the Second

Amendment against the UN?



Three Propaganda Points



The international victim disarmament forces focus on three talking points.

First, they treat firearms as the cause of war, violence, unrest, and crime.

In their advocacy papers, they actually blame the guns, not the aggressors

or the evil ideas. They stand with activist

doctor groups who claim firearms are a "public health menace. "



Second, the victim disarmers follow the morally bankrupt idea that armed

conflict is always wrong. They cannot tell the difference between a good

government and an evil government, or between aggression and self-defense.

Armed defense is morally right and is a moral duty under the Judeo-Christian

tradition and under the non-religious philosophy of natural law. The victim

disarmers never distinguish between oppression and righteous

self-protection.



Third, the anti-small arms forces say they are only going after "illegal" or

"illicit" possession of firearms. They urge governments to confiscate and

destroy all firearms that are owned illegally.

Who defines what is illegal? The UN's member governments: Red China, Iraq,

Colombia, and the dozens of other oppressive and/or corrupt regimes, many of

whom obtained power by force, not election.



What It All Means -- Your Next Move



Future UN action may well declare American gun owners to be criminals. If

your gun is too big, too small, too powerful, too accurate or too ugly, it

may be deemed dangerous to world peace and thus illegal. If you reload your

own ammunition or fix guns, you may be deemed

an illicit trafficker in small arms.



Get smart, gun owners, and get moving! Every gun owner must fully grasp this

looming threat to our rights as Americans. Use the powerful Gran'pa Jack

booklet "The UN is Killing Your Freedoms"

Yes, the UN is a very large and dangerous threat to ALL armed law abiding citizens every where. You should note that where ever the UN goes to"bring peace", they always confiscate privately owned firearms in the name of stopping violence. Also note that in Bosnia, it did not matter which side you were on, as a civilian, you lost your guns!

Now what's important? The issue is losing our freedoms to an international organization which has NO LEGAL RIGHT to impose their agendas on us. How do we stop them? Write your elected congressmen and demand the immediate witholding of all funds from the U. S. A. into UN coffers. Demand that we withdraw from the organization, and demand that they take their headquarters elsewhere. Do you have any idea how much U. S money is spent supporting just the UN building in New York?

If enough of us took action to write our representatives, you bet we could make a change!

Now, let's do it!

 

[Bill Lins]

Won't all those guns burning pollute our air with all the smoke? Where are the tree-huggers when ya need 'em?

 

[Scollins]

Replace "Guns" with "books. " Amazing how the message doesn't change much. An unarmed populace is easily controlled, as is an uneducated one.



As the last remaining superpower in the world, the United States has little use for the UN, and they have little use for us, except for our money and troops. All the member nations of the UN see it as an opportunity to bring us down. When the UN was started, the influence of the United States was tremendous. Now, it is run by members from small nations, and the United States is treated like a dog fit to be kicked.



I say drop out of the UN, and kick their butts out of our country. We need to fix our own problems, and intervene internationally when it makes sense. I hate to preach such an isolationist attitude, but when was the last time you saw a commercial on TV asking for money for America's underpriveledged children? I thought so.....

 

[Crazy Horse]

I agree with all of you. America needs to stay sovereign and independant. The Un has its own agenda and its not in the best intrest of the United States. Lets look out for America first.

pretty unappetizing, all the way around. I still think we, the people, who happen to be on the "responsible" side of ownership ought to out-bid the scumbags who shop at Julio's Buick-trunk of Firearms... that might accomplish a small piece of 2 things. They'd be unregistered, and therefore harder for the ATF or UN or your college professor to confiscate. They'd also be out of the hands of Julio's regular clientele, which, way back when, was the original impetus for the whole "gun control" idea.

On the rare occasions that a stolen "piece" could be linked to its original owner, of course, it should be returned, but how probable would that be?



Yup, we should simply exit the UN, and then invite them to exit the US. They've turned ugly, and I seriously don't like the idea of US troops being potentially under foreign command, which is part of the way that the chain of command can be structured under UN "law".
