Get Politically Active or the U.N. Will Get Your Guns

If the next President’s protential Supreme Court nominations and 2011 political redistricting have not moved you to actively support electable pro-gun rights candidates this year, the text of John Bolton’s Imprimis speech should electrify you into action. John Bolton is a former U.S. Representative at the United Nations. Imprimis is a monthly publication of Hillsdale College, www.hillsdale.edu. (You can subscribe to Imprimus for free. It is a great source of information on modern conservative thought.)
Bolton presented at a Hillsdale College Seminar in February. His speech, “America’s Interests and the U.N., is in the April 2008 issue of Imprimus. Bolton specifically mentions U.S. gun control as a major U.N. objective, in line with their intent of “norming” all national laws to conform with the “international consenus” on a given subject. The U.N. wants to end all private ownership of firearms.
The U.S. Senate and the President could ratify a U.N. treaty that could cause us major headaches. There are Constitutional guarantees, but the wrong Senate and the wrong President might try to brush them aside.
It is not enough to vote this time. If you do not get out and campaign for friendly, electable (generally Republican) candidates,
you could lose your legal right to own a gun.
