Can The U.N. Ban America’s Guns?
April 12, 2013 by Leave a Comment
The rumor flashed across the Internet last
winter: the Obama administration is going to use a United Nations arms
treaty to get around the Second Amendment and ban all guns.
In the wake of the Sandy Hook Elementary
School shootings and the renewed push for “gun safety” (the current
politically correct term) the rumor was all too believable. But was it
true?
At the time the panic started, the answer
was “no.” The U.N. had been working on an anti-gun treaty for years but
had never actually produced a result. Last fall, Obama gave his support
to the next step of the process. That was enough to set the rumor mill
churning.
But as of April 2, 2013, the long-rumored
treaty finally exists. All Second Amendment supporters should be aware
of it — but need not panic. It’s dangerous of course. The Obama
administration and long-time anti-gunners in the Senate would love to
use it to curtail firearms. But whether this treaty will ever affect
U.S. gun owners is up to us.
