INSULT TO CONSTITUTION A GOOD REASON TO HALT U.S. >FUNDING, SAYS SAF BELLEVUE, WA In what can only be a carefully-timed, >deliberate insult to the United States and its Constitution, the United >Nations is hosting a conference on global >gun control aimed directly at our Second Amendment, on dates that include >our national holiday, July 4. > >The U.N. Conference on Global Gun Control, scheduled June 24-July 7, poses >a direct threat to our constitutionally-protected individual right to keep >and bear arms, said Alan Gottlieb, founder of the Second Amendment >Foundation (SAF). Gottlieb will attend the conference, but he suggests that >this may be an opportune time for Congress and the White House to >reconsider this nations level of financial support for an international >organization that now wants to write a treaty that specifically attacks a >cornerstone of our federal constitution, and the lynchpin to our liberty. > >Had it not been for our tradition of private firearms ownership, Gottlieb >stated, our citizens might still be subjects of the queen. Had it not been >for America, all of Europe might be speaking German. Were America not the >great arsenal of democracy that President Franklin D. Roosevelt >described in 1940, the world would be a far different place, and the >sanctimonious bureaucrats at the U.N. might instead be working in labor >camps. > >Not once, but twice in the past century, American citizens have risen to >the challenge and quite literally saved the world, Gottlieb recalled. >From our heartland have come heroes like Alvin York, Audie Murphy, Joe >Foss and others who grew up in a land of freedom and knew what it took to >defend that birthright. > >Yet, as we celebrate our 230th anniversary, global anti-gunners, under the >guise of reviewing a U.N. program of action on small arms and light >weapons, want to create a binding international agreement that could >supersede our laws and constitution, Gottlieb said. We have done much for >the U.N. and in return, the organization has hosted despots, tyrants and >dictators whose record of human rights abuses, aggression and genocide >speaks for itself. And now comes an attack on our constitution, on our >national >holiday. > >America has always answered the call to help our international friends and >neighbors, Gottlieb observed, but when our very way of life is attacked, >maybe it is time to find more worthy endeavors for our material and >financial support. > >-END- > >< Please e-mail, distribute, and circulate to friends and family > >Copyright © 2006 Second Amendment Foundation, All Rights Reserved.Second >Amendment Foundation >James Madison Building >12500 N.E.
