As you probably know, the United Nations is getting set to host a conference next month. It's a conference where governments and activist groups will come together to discuss the illicit arms trade.
Oh, that's good, you think. They're going to discuss ways of shutting down gun smugglers, right?
Wrong. To the U.N., ANY firearm in the hands of a private individual is an illicit gun.
To this end, some group calling itself the International Action Network on Small Arms wants to make July 9 "Small Arms Destruction Day." On July 9, the opening day of the conference, governments are asked to organize "public events of destruction of small arms and light weapons."
Those of you who support the right of law-abiding individuals to own guns will also know that there's a growing movement to mark July 9 as "Buy a Gun Day." If you've been saving up for a handgun, rifle, or shotgun, consider waiting until July 9 to make your purchase. If you don't have the money to buy a gun, consider buying some kind of gun accessory. Counter the U.N officials who want to see every man, woman, and child stripped of their best means of self-defense.
It's your choice. On July 9, you can either buy a gun for self-defense, or you can destroy a gun that could have been used for self-defense. Do whichever makes you feel safer.
