The Legacy of Liars
By Dr. Paul Gallant & Dr. Joanne Eisen
Last July, just a scant two months before the September 11 terrorist attacks, Americans witnessed an attempt by the United Nations to curb small arms possession by civilians around the world via its "Conference on the Illicit Trade in Small Arms and Light Weapons in All its Aspects." President Bush refused to cooperate with efforts to control civilian ownership of firearms in the U.S. and, in accordance with U.N. demands, he was roundly excoriated by many in and outside of U.N. circles.
It’s no surprise that an organization comprised of nation-states would be more concerned with the stability of dictators than with civil liberties, especially the right of an individual to possess the tools for protection against criminals or a criminal government. And it’s not difficult to decode the rhetoric camouflaging the U.N.’s attempt to guard against both possibilities:
"The proliferation of light weapons gives greatest cause for concern when they cease to be in the control of security forces and become the charge of sub-state actors and organizations. This is the point at which control is crucial."
As the UN well knows, there can be no gradual take-over of countries unless they get the guns out of the hands of its citizens. Damn right: “This is the point at which control is crucial.”
When Bashir took control of the Sudan in 1984, one of he very first things he did was outlaw individual gun ownership for the non-muslims, and issue every muslim family 5 or 6 guns and ammo. Now look at what the janjaweed are doing to the indigenous Africans.
We have to fight ‘em, fight ‘em, and keep on fighting.
