No Really, We’re Not Doing a “Global Gun Ban”
NEW YORK, June 29, 2006 (LifeSiteNews.com) – “Let me also note that this Review Conference is not negotiating a ‘global gun ban’, nor do we wish to deny law-abiding citizens their right to bear arms in accordance with their national laws.” So said United Nations Secretary General Kofi Annan on Monday in an address to the United Nations Small Arms Review Conference in New York.
The Secretary General added, “Mr. President, with your permission, I would want to repeat, because there are people around who either have not heard this, or do not want to hear. We are not negotiating a global ban, nor do we wish to deny law-abiding citizens their right to bear arms in accordance with their national laws.”
OK, maybe your just trying to limit the individuals access to ammunition then?
Go here for the NRA view of the conference.
Annan goes on “Our targets remain unscrupulous arms brokers, corrupt officials, drug trafficking syndicates, criminals and others who bring death and mayhem into our communities.” Isn’t this something that local law enforcement and gov’ts should be able to handle themselves?
