Global Gun Ban Is Prelude To Tyranny
The UN wants to confiscate our guns in 1998!

" A resolution proposed by Japan at the 9th UN Commission on Crime Control in Cairo, Egypt in 1995 evolved into 'Resolution 19,' an international study on firearms regulations that could lead to a UN Global Gun Ban Treaty being presented to the United States Senate for ratification as early as this spring." That's the warning issued by Gun Owners of America in a recent full-page newspaper advertisement. "A proposal to regulate firearms globally was formally adopted by the UN Commission on Crime Prevention in Vienna, Austria in April of last year," the gun rights organization reports. "It calls for the drafting of a formal 'Universal Declaration of Principles on Firearms Regulations."

Gun Owners of America (GOA) points out that the Japanese-financed study, conducted by so-called experts from the UN, "ignores any legitimate, defensive need for firearms, or America's constitutional right to own them." GOA notes that the British House of Commons recently "extended England's large-caliber gun ban to include a total ban on all handguns.
". . . Australia recently followed with its own gun ban. The government of India has now taken the position that 'self-defense is no justification for the civilian possession of firearms.'''

Who are the real targets of the coming global gun grab? "Since most 'civilians' in most of the nations of the world are not legally allowed to own firearms," GOA points out, "it should be obvious to every American that the real targets of a global gun ban are not those nations who are not allowed to own firearms, but rather those in the United States of America whose right to own firearms is protected by the 2nd Amendment of the Constitution. Our Founding Fathers, when they wove the "right to bear arms" into the fabric of the Constitution, did so not out of fear of Indian uprisings, or because they knew the frontier farmer would need to hunt game to feed his family," GOA insists. "They did so due to an inherent fear that the central government they created to serve their needs might grow so powerful that it might demand that the citizens of the United States serve them!"

If our Founding Fathers had reason to fear a too-powerful national government, is it not even more reasonable for us, their descendants, to fear the potentially unlimited power of a global government, staffed by persons who do not necessarily share our respect for individual rights? "Those who would surrender our national sovereignty to global influences that would create a stateless world system of government know that, as long as Americans constitutionally possess the right to own and bear arms, national sovereignty cannot fall," Gun Owners of America declares. "Since America will not allow Congress to abrogate the 2nd Amendment," GOA explains, "Congress now appears willing to let the United Nations do it for them - in the form of a global ban on firearms."
