- The sweep has just gone global. Patrons of The Million
Mom March have formed a pact with internationalists at the UN to accomplish
what, up until the present, has seemed impossible at the domestic level.
Rip the heart out of the Second Amendment.
-
- Plans for the global initiative were unveiled at a recent
news conference at UN headquarters. In classic use of "herd mentality
propaganda, the endeavor was christened The Billion Mom March. It will
not consist merely of a single protest march, like its forerunner, but
instead will be an ongoing cyber-march via e-mail, aimed specifically at
world leaders.
-
- The public relations campaign launched by activist global
moms and their internationalist allies will culminate with a UN conference
on small arms, which will be held in July at UN headquarters in New York.
The Billion Mom March will appear to be a spontaneous outpouring of concern
from average, everyday people who have reached an apex of frustration with
regard to widespread violence. Conference leaders will claim that the effort
at control is intended to regulate global trade of light weapons and small
arms. For the most part, the rhetoric that will flow from both camps will
be disingenuous.
-
- In reality, the conference will be an unprecedented opportunity
for those who oppose the right of an individual to possess the means to
defend liberty, to gather together and discuss ways in which they can undermine
the sovereignty and constitutional integrity of the American system.
-
- In the usual tradition of UN conferences, the left-fest
will be pawned off as "consensus building to an unsuspecting public.
But the agenda that will ultimately be agreed upon will have been established
long before the event ever begins.
-
- The objective is to bring to the United States the same
"wisdom that has been placed into law in England, Australia, New Zealand,
Canada, South Africa and other nations of the world - severe constraints
on individual firearm ownership.
-
- The UN has been preparing for this moment for years.
The resolution of the General Assembly from the summer of 1995 is entitled
General and Complete Disarmament: Small Arms. A small arm is defined as
almost any weapon that can be carried by one person and is capable of explosively
firing a deadly projectile. The broad definition includes all firearms
currently on the market for legal purchase.
-
- During the same year at a UN conference in Cairo, Egypt,
a resolution was introduced to develop "a common strategy for effective
control of firearms at the global level. Not one, but three major UN
organizations have simultaneously been working on a gun control agenda.
In various meetings, conferences and global gatherings, a legislative
process of worldwide proportion has been occurring.
-
- The UN Panel of Governmental Experts on Small Arms produced
a resolution in 1998 that included recommendations to create new laws for
firearms regarding storage, implicit licensing, hunting (restricting it
to protection of wildlife), collector prohibitions (disallowing functioning
firearms), imposition of age limits, demonstration of necessity prior to
ownership and limitation of individual ownership (to one gun only).
-
- The Commission on Crime Prevention and Criminal Justice
surveyed laws that regulate the ability of individuals to purchase, possess
and store firearms, while the UN Disarmament Commission, created to deal
with weapons of mass destruction, added trade in "small arms to its
jurisdiction.
-
- In September of 1999, UN Secretary General Kofi Annan
spoke to a meeting of the Security Council and declared the UN,s commitment
to global regulation of guns. He conveyed his philosophical viewpoint that
"small arms and light weapons are primary tools of violence in the
world and that peace hinges on limiting such tools.
-
- The Security Council responded by issuing a statement
that underscored the importance of regulating "small arms transfers.
-
- In September of 2000, the UN hosted the Millennium Summit,
which was hailed as the largest gathering of world leaders in history.
The anti-gun agenda was placed into The Millennium Declaration, a manifesto
for globalization.
-
- The declaration exhorted the nations of the world to
"take concerted action to end illicit traffic in small arms and light
weapons, especially by making arms transfers more transparent and supporting
regional disarmament measures
-
- It also looked forward to future "recommendations
of the forthcoming United Nations Conference on Illicit Trade in Small
Arms and Light Weapons, the conference slated for July.
-
- All of these discussions have been conducted far from
the watchful eyes of the very citizens whose lives would ultimately be
affected. It is a conspicuous use of international organizations and instruments
to bypass representative government.
-
- Americans understand the concepts of checks and balances
and separation of powers. They are aware of the importance of these ideas
to the furtherance of freedom. They know that the American ideal of natural
unalienable rights is supported by a profound belief in the significance
of individual sovereignty.
-
- Within our Constitution there is a point where these
principles converge. The people are the ultimate check and balance to any
branch, agency or person acquiring a disproportionate amount of power.
It is our venerable Second Amendment that fuses the notion of constraint
on government to the autonomy of the solitary citizen.
