U.S. Citizens Fund UN Arms Trade Treaty Which Impacts U.S. Gun Ownership

 

[Dennis in MA]

If a pissant 19th century country like NK can ignore the UN, why can't we? The government can't enter into treaties that violate US laws or the Constitution. Ignore the UN.

UN charter:
Article 1
The Purposes of the United Nations are:

1. To maintain international peace and security, and to that end: to take effective collective measures for the prevention and removal of threats to the peace, and for the suppression of acts of aggression or other breaches of the peace, and to bring about by peaceful means, and in conformity with the principles of justice and international law, adjustment or settlement of international disputes or situations which might lead to a breach of the peace;
2. To develop friendly relations among nations based on respect for the principle of equal rights and self-determination of peoples, and to take other appropriate measures to strengthen universal peace;
3. To achieve international co-operation in solving international problems of an economic, social, cultural, or humanitarian character, and in promoting and encouraging respect for human rights and for fundamental freedoms for all without distinction as to race, sex, language, or religion; and
4. To be a centre for harmonizing the actions of nations in the attainment of these common ends.

So how does F'ing with the internal workings of a country fit into this?? It's not an international item, it's internal to a country. So the UN should GTFO of the internal workings of a country. Well, unless there's atrocities being committed (crimes against humanity level stuff). But don't go trying to limit MY rights/freedoms.

As with most things political, it's deviated quite a lot (IMO) from what it was originally setup to be. No real surprise there for many of us.

I wouldn’t be surprised if they tried to deem “gun violence” in the US a “humanitarian crisis.”

 

[Horrible]

We should pull out of the UN

 

[mac1911]

We should pull out of the UN

no we just need to kick the UN off US soil and stop sending the checks.....I will wake up now.

 

[mac1911]

we also pay UN to tell us how to run many of our state parks and they are in charge of how they are handled.
World Heritage Convention.
here is a list of the parks that the world Heritage Convention over sees

United States of America

• Mesa Verde National Park
• Yellowstone National Park
• Everglades National Park
• Grand Canyon National Park
• Independence Hall
• Kluane / Wrangell-St. Elias / Glacier Bay / Tatshenshini-Alsek # * 33
• Redwood National and State Parks
• Mammoth Cave National Park
• Olympic National Park
• Cahokia Mounds State Historic Site
• Great Smoky Mountains National Park
• La Fortaleza and San Juan National Historic Site in Puerto Rico
• Statue of Liberty
• Yosemite National Park #
• Chaco Culture
• Hawaii Volcanoes National Park #
• Monticello and the University of Virginia in Charlottesville
• Taos Pueblo
• Carlsbad Caverns National Park
• Waterton Glacier International Peace Park *
• Papahānaumokuākea
• Monumental Earthworks of Poverty Point
• San Antonio Missions

From what I have come to understand from all my dad learned about this in the late 80s and early 90s is the UN can declare these parks and its lands in danger and close them to the general public.
