The United Nations Remains Determined to Undermine the 2nd Amendment

While Constitution supporting Americans rightfully celebrate the bipartisan defeat of the U.N. promoted Arms Trade Treaty, the international organization remains devoted to attacking "civilian possession" of arms under international law.

According to the Heritage Foundation:

Today marks the second week of the 2012 Review Conference for the U.N.’s “Programme of Action to Prevent, Combat, and Eradicate the Illicit Trade in Small Arms and Light Weapons in All Its Aspects,” commonly known as the PoA.
Unlike the U.N.’s Arms Trade Treaty (ATT), which collapsed for the time being in July, the PoA is not an effort to negotiate a legally binding treaty. But also unlike the ATT, it clearly and explicitly promotes gun control by developing supposedly binding norms.

The Heritage Foundation also cites statistics that show that civilians own 60 percent of the world's legally held small arms.  One legal gun owner is Earl Jones, 92, of Boone County, Kentucky.  He lives alone on his 500 acre farm with the firearms that likely saved his life.

Here is an excerpt from the Daily Mail story on his harrowing day:

“It was simple. That man was going to take my life. He was hunting me. I was protecting myself.”
Jones, who served in army during WW2, was alone at his 500 acre ranch in Verona, Kentucky, when he heard noises outside.
Police do not expect to charge Jones with a crime as Kentucky as the state has a "stand your ground law" that allows householders to use deadly force if they are in fear of their lives.
Jones is adamant that he was within his right to shoot the intruder at the home he has lived in since 1955.
The break-in was the third he has experienced in this year.
'I didn’t go to war for nothing. I have the right to carry a gun. That’s what I told the police this morning.” according to the Enquirer newspaper.
Police said Dalton, 22, and Inabnit, 20, were arrested later.
The pair called police to report their friend had been shot. They later admitted to taking part in the raid on Jones's home.
Dalton and Inabnit, both from Dry Ridge, have been charged with second degree burglary and tampering with evidence, but Mr Jones may yet escape conviction thanks to Kentucky's 'castle doctrine' which is enshrined in law.
Nationally the killing of criminals by individuals trying to defend their property has increased in recent years, from 196 in 2005 to 278 in 2010, according to FBI Uniform Crime Report statistics.

The United Nations and its supporters care about civilian control, not individual safety.  Without his weapons and full knowledge of their use, Earl Jones might be dead today by the hands of those who would plunder him for his valuables and medication.  The FBI's statistics prove that law abiding citizens remain one of the best deterrents of crime in the United States.

Make no mistake, the U.N. sees civilian control of any weapons as illegal in itself.

What good does it do American citizens to continue to support the U.N.?
