I understand that the United Nations Small Arms Treaty has been shot down.
Really. It has been our nations policy to disarm our military and eventually the civilian population since 1961.
If you have the time I would like to introduce you to State Department Publication 7277 which is called "Freedom From War", The United States Program for General and Complete Disarmament in a Peaceful World."
This is the summary of this document.
INTRODUCTION
The revolutionary development of modern weapons within a
world divided by serious ideological differences has produced a crisis in human
history. In order to overcome the danger of nuclear war now confronting
mankind, the United States
has introduced at the Sixteenth General Assembly of the United Nations a Program
for General and Complete Disarmament in a Peaceful World.
This new program provides for the progressive reduction of
the war-making capabilities of nations and the simultaneous strengthening of
international institutions to settle disputes and maintain the peace. It sets
forth a series of comprehensive measures which can and should be taken in order
to bring about a world in which there will be freedom from war and security for
all states. It is based on three principles deemed essential to the achievement
of practical progress in the disarmament field:
First, there must be immediate disarmament action:
A strenuous and uninterrupted effort must be made toward the
goal of general and complete disarmament; at the same time, it is important
that specific measures be put into effect as soon as possible.
Second, all disarmament obligations must be subject to
effective international controls:
The control organization must have the manpower, facilities,
and effectiveness to assure that limitations or reductions take place as
agreed. It must also be able to certify to all states that retained forces and
armaments do not exceed those permitted at any stage of the disarmament
process.
Third, adequate peace-keeping machinery must be
established:
There is an inseparable relationship between the scaling
down of national armaments on the one hand and the building up of international
peace-keeping machinery and institutions on the other. Nations are unlikely to
shed their means of self-protection in the absence of alternative ways to
safeguard their legitimate interests. This can only be achieved through the
progressive strengthening of international institutions under the United
Nations and by creating a United Nations Peace Force to enforce the peace as
the disarmament process proceeds.
(The third part is where the collectivist elitist scum establishment takes your guns.)
The rest of this crap can be found at this link.
My solution to this and other UN garbage is to have the House of Representatives cut off the money for the UN and all it's activities.
Get the US out of the UN and get the UN out of the US.
