The following link leads to Larry Bell's recent Forbes article on the United Nation's (UN) attempt to reduce if not remove our (US) second amendment rights: http://blogs.forbes.com/larrybell/2011/06/07/u-n-agreement-should-have-all-gun-owners-up-in-arms/
With the ongoing national and international anti-gun environment, what do folks think?
Is this as Bell asserts a national sovereignty issue and therefore larger than 2A?
Is this the dreaded perfect storm used to stir donations by the NRA?
I'll say that I don't think that this has a very good chance of passing our senate, and, if it does, I don't see things going well for those elected officials involved should they seek re-election. However, I don't think that fans of the constitution and/or the 2A can ignore this UN proposition.
If anyone has any additional insights re: this UN action, please share it here. I'd most appreciate hearing from anyone who's had a chance to talk with their senator about this proposal. I plan to email and call my senator re: my concerns. I urge others to do the same.
I'll post any add'l info as I have it.
