Remember
July 9 Is 'Buy a Gun Day'

http://www.newsmax.com/showinsidecover.shtml?a=2001/6/26/223217

The United Nations is launching its assault on gun rights on July 9, but a
movement is growing to counter this move by celebrating the date as "Buy a
Gun Day."

U.N.'s Web site, funded n part by U.S.  taxpayers, includes this tidbit,
with emphasis added "Delegations in Vienna agreed on 2 March 2001 on a
legally binding Protocol against the Illicit Manufacturing of and
Trafficking in Firearms, Their Parts and Components and Ammunition, which
is designed to supplement the United Nations Convention against
Transnational Organized Crime signed in Palermo, Italy in December 2000.

Once entered into force, the Protocol will provide an international law
enforcement mechanism for cime prevention and the prosecution of
traffickers.  Among other things, it includes articles establishing
internationally recognized standards and provisions regarding marking,
record-keeping and import/export control of firearms.

Some outfit called International Action Network on Small Arms wants to
designate July 9 as Small Arms Destruction Day.  It says "The Preparatory
Committee of the UN Conference on Small Weapons has called on all States to
organize, on a voluntary basis, public events of dstruction of small arms
and light weapons, preferably on the 9th of July, the opening day of the
Conference."

Writes one NewsMax.com reader who supports Buy a Gun Day "According to the
United Nations, small arms means arms that are designed for personal use.

(Not large tanks or small missile launchers but the firearms that we use at
the local rifle range or go hunting with or carry as a means of personal
defense.) And that is what this conference is all about - taking firearms
away from honest citizens such as you and me."

The U.N.  doesn't have sovereignty over America just yet, so it's up to you
On July 9, buy a weapon for self-defense or destroy a weapon for
self-defense, whichever makes you feel safer.

"That the said Constitution shall never be construed to authorize Congress
to infringe the just liberty of the press or the rights of conscience; or
to prevent the people of The United States who are peaceable citizens from
keeping their own arms..."  -- Samuel Adams ...  Debates and Proceedings in
the Convention of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, at 86-87 (Peirce &
Hale, eds., Boston, 1850)
