NRA: The United Nations (UN) and International Gun Control

Published on March 4, 2009
Duration: 10:14

This video from the NRA discusses concerns about the United Nations' agenda on international gun control. It highlights historical examples of governments disarming citizens and argues that UN proposals aim to restrict, reduce, and ultimately remove legally owned firearms from law-abiding citizens, potentially undermining constitutional rights like the Second Amendment. The video suggests the UN's broad definition of 'small arms' and its push for global firearm registration are key elements of this agenda.

Quick Summary

The United Nations is perceived as pursuing a global gun control agenda, aiming to restrict and remove legally owned firearms from law-abiding citizens. Historical examples from various countries are cited to illustrate the negative consequences of such policies, and concerns are raised that this agenda could undermine the U.S. Second Amendment rights by redefining firearm freedom and viewing civilian ownership as destabilizing.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the United Nations' perceived agenda regarding firearms?

The United Nations is seen as pursuing a global gun control agenda, aiming to restrict, reduce, and ultimately remove legally owned firearms from law-abiding citizens worldwide. This is often framed as a move towards a world where only law enforcement and military personnel would possess firearms, potentially undermining individual rights.

What historical examples are used to support concerns about international gun control?

The video cites historical instances in the Philippines under Ferdinand Marcos, Mexico where government forces disarmed villagers before an attack, and countries like England, Australia, Canada, and South Africa where firearm bans have allegedly led to increased crime and loss of liberty.

How does the UN's approach to firearms regulation differ from the U.S. Second Amendment?

The UN's agenda is perceived as aiming to redefine firearm freedom and potentially diminish or eliminate rights protected by the U.S. Second Amendment. Concerns are raised that the UN views civilian firearm ownership as destabilizing, contrasting with the U.S. constitutional right to bear arms.

What is the significance of the UN's focus on 'small arms'?

The video suggests that the UN's definition of 'small arms' is broad and elastic, potentially encompassing all types of firearms. This broad definition is seen as a strategic way to regulate and eliminate a wide range of weapons, not just military-grade ones, from civilian possession.
