Don't Tread on Me

I've been reading the UN's "Programme of Action" (POA) for the control of small arms trafficking around the world. Don't imagine for a moment that the UN is concerned with only military weapons. Military and military "type" weapons are usually sold in the civilian market (handguns, rifles, etc). There are two items in the POA that are of concern to the United States citizen and the 2nd Amendment. Section II of the POA part 3,

To adopt and implement, in the States that have not already done so, the necessary legislative or other measures to establish as criminal offences under their domestic law the illegal manufacture, possession, stockpiling and trade of small arms and light weapons within their areas of jurisdiction, in order to ensure that those engaged in such activities can be prosecuted under appropriate national penal codes. It would appear that the UN does have it's sights on civilian ownership in the United States. I am not suggesting that the US will accept such a plan because it is in violation of the Constitution. I am cautioning that there might be an attempt to change the 2nd Amendment or repeal it altogether.

It is not my intention to suggest that gun ownership is in danger in America. That is the job of the NRA. I am just providing information that I have found on the subject. Do your own research in the matter and draw your own conclusions. I do suggest that you write your congressman and senator with your feelings on this subject.
