Drawing A Bead On The United Nations
By Richard A Pearson In Adventure Sports Outdoors ~ The United Nations (UN), aka United Nuisance, is once again preparing a new attack on the United States’ Second Amendment, i.e. our rights.
Why do the UN and its member countries dislike the Second Amendment so much?
The answer lies in both current events and history. Buried in the middle or back of most newspapers is a story about the country known as Union of Myanmar, formerly Burma. When we think of Burma, we get romantic thoughts of Mandalay, allied troops completing the Burma Road, and of course, Errol Flynn’s semi-documentary trial called "Objective Burma."
The thoughts of the Burmese fighting Japanese oppression is baloney; Burma did not become allied with the United States until 1945 when it was evident Japan would lose the war. The citizens of Burma have always been under the boot heel of some despot, and modern day Myanmar is not much different. A military junta rules Myanmar – democracy or any semblance of it does not exist. Win Shwe, leader of the National League for Democracy (NDL), seems to have died mysteriously during interrogation. His family found out of his death only when they were notified to come pick up his ashes. This has happened to many pro-democracy advocates in Myanmar. Myanmar has no Second Amendment, and the people have no way to defend themselves from their government, so who is to save them? Never fear – the international community is on the way to save the day!
On Thursday, October 11th, 2007, the UN Security Council met behind closed doors for four hours to discuss changes in a draft on the situation in Myanmar. Not only that, but the U.S. is about to step in!
On Wednesday, October 10th, 2007, Laura Bush said Washington was poised to impose more sanctions on Myanmar, unless the government loosens its grip on the people within the next couple of days – maybe. How is that for decisive action by the UN and the United States? I cannot imagine the fear among the Myanmar junta leaders upon hearing this news. Nor can I imagine the relief some Myanmar civilian feels knowing this great news as he watches government troops murder his fellow countrymen. The UN and the U.S. really showed these guys who is the boss.
On Wednesday, October 10th, 2007, the House of Foreign Relations Committee approved a resolution labeling the murder of 1.5 million Armenians by Turks in 1915 as genocide. The Turks are upset the White House is not happy about this resolution and the White House is not happy about the resolution. Secretary of State, Condoleezza Rice, stated the resolution was “highly destabilizing” to U.S. government in the Middle East. Maybe so, but it points out what happens when a population is disarmed. In short, the Turks promised the Armenians protection – instead they disarmed them and slaughtered them. Would the UN have saved the Armenians? No! The UN’s official position is that the right of self-defense is not a human right.
Undoubtedly, the UN would have drawn a strong letter of protest. That would have shown the Turks. The moral of these disasters is to never, ever give up our Second Amendment rights!!! But this is Illinois 2007 – we are in the heart of the U.S. Oh, yeah. We are safe. But just let people write letters to an Illinois Senator and in return they receive visits from the State Police.
That is exactly what happened to Tom Warchol and his wife Joanne when they sent faxes to Senator Dan Kotowski. The faxes were not threatening and did not contain any derogatory words – they were simply faxes written to exercise their First Amendment right to protect their Second Amendment right. To their surprise, the Warchols found State Police beating on the door of their house. Think about it – some of the Illinois politicians believe they have unlimited power. Then go and think once more about the Second Amendment rights, think about the above incidents and treasure that right!
