What is The Global War on Your Guns by Wayne LaPierre about?

The Global War on Your Guns by Wayne LaPierre exposes what the author describes as an international conspiracy to eliminate American gun rights through global treaties and foreign influence. LaPierre, former NRA Executive Vice President, argues that international organizations and foreign governments are systematically undermining Second Amendment freedoms through coordinated political and legal strategies targeting American gun ownership.

Who should read The Global War on Your Guns?

The Global War on Your Guns is ideal for Second Amendment advocates, gun rights activists, and conservative readers concerned about international threats to American constitutional freedoms. The book appeals to NRA members, political conservatives, and anyone interested in Wayne LaPierre's perspective on global gun control movements and their potential impact on domestic firearms policy.

Is The Global War on Your Guns worth reading?

The Global War on Your Guns is worth reading for those seeking Wayne LaPierre's insider perspective on international gun control efforts and NRA strategy. As a foundational text in modern gun rights advocacy, it provides valuable insights into conservative arguments against global firearms restrictions, though readers should consider LaPierre's strong ideological stance when evaluating his claims.

Who is Wayne LaPierre and why did he write The Global War on Your Guns?

Wayne LaPierre served as NRA Executive Vice President and CEO from 1991 to 2024, becoming America's most prominent gun rights spokesperson. Born in 1949, LaPierre led the NRA through unprecedented membership growth and political influence. He wrote The Global War on Your Guns to warn Americans about what he perceived as coordinated international efforts to undermine Second Amendment rights through global treaties and foreign political pressure.

What are the main arguments in The Global War on Your Guns?

The Global War on Your Guns presents Wayne LaPierre's central argument that international organizations, foreign governments, and global elites are systematically targeting American gun rights through treaties, diplomatic pressure, and coordinated political campaigns. LaPierre contends that these efforts represent an existential threat to Second Amendment freedoms and American sovereignty over domestic firearms policy.

How does The Global War on Your Guns connect to Wayne LaPierre's NRA leadership?

The Global War on Your Guns reflects Wayne LaPierre's three-decade leadership of the NRA, during which he transformed the organization into America's most powerful gun rights advocacy group. The book incorporates his experience fighting federal gun control measures and his controversial statements about government overreach, providing readers with his insider perspective on defending Second Amendment rights against perceived international threats.

What controversies surround Wayne LaPierre and The Global War on Your Guns?

Wayne LaPierre faced significant controversy throughout his career, including criticism for calling federal agents "jack-booted government thugs" in 1995, which led former President George H.W. Bush to resign his NRA membership. His corruption trial and resignation from the NRA in January 2024 amid financial misconduct allegations have also cast scrutiny on his legacy and the credibility of his written works.

How does The Global War on Your Guns compare to other gun rights books?

The Global War on Your Guns distinguishes itself from other gun rights literature by focusing specifically on international threats rather than domestic gun control debates. Unlike books that examine constitutional law or personal defense, LaPierre's work emphasizes geopolitical conspiracy theories and global coordination against American gun rights, reflecting his unique position as a longtime NRA insider and political strategist.

Capítulo 1

The Global War on Your Guns: A Sinister Threat to American Freedom

The United Nations stands poised to strip away your Second Amendment rights through a sweeping international treaty that could forever change American gun ownership. This isn't hyperbole-it's the culmination of a coordinated global effort that began in the mid-1990s when gun control advocates, stymied by pro-gun electoral victories in America, shifted their strategy to international law. Led by figures like Rebecca Peters, protege of billionaire George Soros, this movement coordinates over 500 organizations across 100 countries with budgets between $5-10 million annually. Their goal? To create binding international agreements that would make civilian gun ownership a privilege granted by government rather than a fundamental human right. While Americans might dismiss such threats as foreign concerns, the reality is more disturbing: these international norms could reshape American constitutional rights through judicial reinterpretation, executive agreements, or international pressure. As actor Charlton Heston once warned while representing the NRA, this represents "freedom's fiercest challenge yet" from global forces determined to destroy freedoms as American as apple pie.

Capítulo 2

The International Gun Control Movement: A Well-Funded Global Network

When gun control advocates hit roadblocks in the United States, they didn't abandon their goals-they simply changed battlefields. The international gun prohibition movement operates largely out of public view, focusing on influencing foreign ministry officials rather than engaging with voters. Unlike their American counterparts who must convince legislators and win elections, these international organizations maintain a low profile while wielding extensive resources and government connections. At the center of this web sits the International Action Network on Small Arms (IANSA), which coordinates over 500 member organizations across 100 countries. Founded in 1998 with just 33 NGOs, IANSA has grown into a formidable force with permanent staff and substantial funding from multiple governments including the UK, Netherlands, Belgium, Sweden, and Norway. Left-wing foundations like Ford, Rockefeller, Compton, Ploughshares, and MacArthur provide additional financial support. The Small Arms Survey represents another dangerous player in this global network. Operating from the Graduate Institute for International Studies in Geneva, it publishes research that many governments consider authoritative on small arms issues. With substantial funding from Australia, Belgium, Canada, Finland, Denmark, France, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Sweden, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom, its academic positioning gives it an air of objectivity that masks its anti-gun agenda. The Centre for Humanitarian Dialogue (CHD), another Geneva-based organization, employs twenty-one full-time staff members funded by multiple governments. In March 2005, it hosted a workshop titled "Regulating Civilian Ownership of Weapons" that deliberately excluded representatives of legal firearm owners despite their requests to participate. The workshop predictably concluded with recommendations for gun bans and registration requirements. Rebecca Peters, who leads IANSA, represents the ideological core of this movement. Despite claiming her proposals are "moderate," she advocates banning all semiautomatic rifles, shotguns, and handguns from civilian ownership. Her vision would restrict gun ownership to single-shot hunting rifles with ranges under 100 meters. When asked what firearms Americans should own, Peters responded that Americans "shouldn't be exempt from rules that apply to the rest of the world" and should "have only guns suitable for purposes they can prove." This international network has created regional initiatives worldwide, including efforts by the European Union, Economic Community of Western African States, the Nairobi Small Arms Protocol, Organization of American States, and the South African Development Community. Each has adopted protocols or moratoriums on firearms imports, manufacturing, or civilian ownership. In response, the National Rifle Association and several other groups formed the World Forum on the Future of Sport Shooting Activities (WFSA) in 1997, which now includes over forty different associations from countries including Australia, Austria, Canada, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Italy, Ireland, Japan, Malta, Spain, South Africa, Switzerland, and the UK. In 1999, WFSA became an official UN Non-Governmental Organization to counter this institutionalized international gun control movement.

Capítulo 3

The United Nations Disarmament Agenda: A Dangerous Evolution

Following the Cold War's end, the UN disarmament establishment needed a new mission to justify its existence. They found it by shifting focus from nuclear weapons to civilian firearms ownership-a strategic pivot that redirected resources despite ongoing terrorism, nuclear proliferation, and government-sponsored genocide. This strategy was mapped out at a February 1994 conference on International Trade in Light Weapons held by the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. Participants, including U.S. government officials and future Nobel Peace Prize winner Jody Williams, developed an approach still pursued today: change public perception to view guns themselves as the problem, following the model of the land mine ban campaign. The 1997 Ottawa Treaty banning land mines marked a watershed moment where NGOs drove international policy, directly participating in treaty negotiations outside the UN system. This success empowered NGOs, motivated governments to reassert leadership roles, and dangled the Nobel Peace Prize as incentive for gun-ban advocates. The thinking became simple: ban small arms and win another Nobel Prize. Japan emerged as a leading force in international gun control following the 1992 shooting of Japanese exchange student Yoshihiro Hattori in Louisiana. By 1995, Japan ensured gun control remained atop the UN disarmament agenda, with the UN General Assembly passing its first resolution on small arms in December 1995. This led to the appointment of a panel of government experts chaired by Japanese Ambassador Mitsuro Donowaki. Following the 1997 experts panel report that broadly defined "small arms" to cover virtually all firearms, the UN appointed another group that recommended an international conference on "the illicit arms trade in all its aspects." The draft Programme of Action (POA) contained numerous objectionable provisions including reduction in firearms numbers, massive registration requirements, bans on civilian possession of military weapons, and propaganda campaigns. At the 2001 conference, the NRA emerged as a formidable international force, and John Bolton, then U.S. Ambassador to the UN, represented one of the strongest defenders of American interests. The U.S. firmly opposed measures including any limitation on civilian possession, restrictions on manufacturing, bans on transfers to "non-state actors," and commitments to legally binding treaties. Despite these initial victories, UN efforts to ban firearms continue through numerous small arms projects funded by national governments and foundations. The UN Firearms Protocol, adopted in March 2001, reveals the hypocrisy of these efforts. While requiring firearms to be marked with manufacturer name and serial number, it contains two glaring exceptions: "state-to-state transfers" are exempt, and China received a special exemption allowing it to use only "simple geometric symbols" rather than individual serial numbers.

Capítulo 4

The Demonization of Lawful Gun Owners

The 2001 UN Small Arms Conference was just "the opening skirmish of a war" according to U.S. delegate Charles Pashayan, who warned that restrictions on private ownership would return despite initial defeats. As the conference approached, the UN responded to American protests by claiming no threat existed to law-abiding gun owners-a patent falsehood contradicted by overwhelming evidence. The conference room itself featured a large poster declaring "SMALL ARMS KILL WOMEN & CHILDREN," while speaker after speaker condemned "excessive" civilian gun ownership. Ireland's delegate demanded states "suppress private ownership of small arms," while Jamaica called for global adoption of its gun prohibition model. The conference unveiled a five-ton sculpture of 7,000 welded firearms symbolizing the UN's philosophy that violence comes from "bad" objects that must be destroyed. The UN's draft protocol called for "tighter control" over legal firearms transfers, "strengthening current laws" on civilian possession, and "enhancing accountability" through systematic tracking of firearms from manufacturer to purchaser-while explicitly exempting government-owned weapons. Though formally non-binding, the conference aimed to create international pressure against America's Second Amendment rights. At the conference, gun-prohibition advocates pushed for "transparency"-code for government registries of all gun owners and firearms. Registration has historically facilitated confiscation in numerous countries including Canada, the UK, Australia, and Nazi-occupied Europe. UN disarmament staff explicitly acknowledged registration as preparation for confiscation. The UN launched "Small Arms and Light Weapons Destruction Day" on July 9, 2001, featuring public burnings of citizen-owned firearms worldwide. These symbolic destructions eerily paralleled Nazi Germany's 1933 book-burning festivals that preceded genocide. UN spokesman Kofi Annan equated small arms with weapons of mass destruction, claiming they "exacerbate conflict, spark refugee flows, undermine the rule of law, and spawn a culture of violence." At the conference, Iran championed a ban on arms supplied to "non-state actors," which would prohibit arming oppressed groups resisting genocidal regimes. Angola's defense minister complained about "men with guns" opposing his "legitimate Government"-though his communist dictatorship was installed by Cuban forces. The objective beneath humanitarian rhetoric is ensuring unpopular dictatorships maintain monopolies of force. The UN's vision directly contradicts America's Second Amendment, which recognizes people as sovereign rather than servants. "Transparency" in gun ownership is merely a euphemism for government registration that facilitates confiscation, as has occurred in democracies like Bermuda and England, and dictatorships like Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union.

Capítulo 5

The Constitutional Threat: How International Law Could Undermine American Rights

The 2000 election demonstrated the NRA's crucial role in American politics-had Al Gore won instead of George W. Bush, the 2001 UN antigun conference would have produced an extremely repressive treaty with enthusiastic U.S. support. Even without Senate ratification, international gun control could be imposed through several mechanisms: presidential "agreements" requiring only congressional majorities rather than two-thirds Senate approval; seemingly innocuous treaties later twisted by UN bureaucrats into extreme measures; or executive orders justified by signed but unratified treaties under the Vienna Convention. Supreme Court Justices increasingly cite foreign and international law when interpreting the U.S. Constitution. Justice Breyer argues the Constitution must "fit into the governing documents of other nations," while Justice Stevens has cited European Union opinions in death penalty cases. This judicial trend poses grave danger to Second Amendment rights, as activist lawyers fabricate international "norms" against civilian gun ownership. Even without treaties, these supposed norms could be used in foreign courts where American gun manufacturers could be sued without Second Amendment protections. The UN's Special Rapporteur Barbara Frye already argues that failure to impose certain gun controls constitutes a human rights violation, potentially exposing American firearms companies to international litigation. Frye is exploring "boundaries of the right to self-defense" while being a member of IANSA, whose president denies people have any right to self-defense or to own firearms for that purpose. In the UN's view, America's Second Amendment constitutes a human rights violation, and the U.S. has "no right to be different from other countries." Congress has repeatedly affirmed the Second Amendment as protecting individual rights. The Freedmen's Bureau Act of 1866 explicitly protected the "constitutional right to bear arms" for freed slaves against discriminatory state laws. The Property Requisition Act of 1941 prohibited requisitioning or registration of firearms possessed for personal protection even during wartime. The Firearms Owners' Protection Act of 1986 recognized "the rights of citizens to keep and bear arms under the second amendment" as requiring protection from government overreach. Most recently, the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act of 2005 explicitly stated that "the Second Amendment protects the rights of individuals, including those not members of a militia, to keep and bear arms." As the branch elected by the people, Congress fulfills its proper function when it declares and protects constitutional rights, providing essential checks and balances against concentrated power. Great weight should be given to Congress's repeated determinations that the right to keep and bear arms is a fundamental, individual right that government may not infringe.

Capítulo 6

The UN's Deadly Record: Gun Prohibition and Genocide

The United Nations has implemented total gun prohibition in several countries, enforced through severe penalties and house-to-house searches, despite evidence that such policies leave innocent families defenseless against violent criminals. These prohibition efforts often occur in cooperation with corrupt governments that refuse to protect their citizens. Cambodia's history demonstrates the dangers of disarmament. Under French colonial rule, laws prevented peasants from arming. After the 1975 communist revolution, Pol Pot's unarmed victims suffered genocide with over two million deaths. Following the 1991 Paris Peace Agreements, the UN attempted to disarm warring factions but failed when the Khmer Rouge refused to comply. Despite this, the UN imposed civilian gun licensing in 1993, followed by complete prohibition in 1999. By 2002, over 112,000 firearms had been confiscated. Yet crime increased, with the government itself involved in human trafficking, extortion, and other crimes. In Albania, following widespread anarchy after the collapse of pyramid schemes in 1996, civilians looted 1,300 armories, taking up to 1.5 million weapons. By 2000, the UN implemented a national house-to-house confiscation program where families had to surrender weapons or face up to seven years imprisonment. Many Albanians resisted disarmament, reasonably citing the country's ongoing security issues and police abuses. Founded to prevent recurrences of World War II atrocities and genocides, the UN has proven almost entirely useless in preventing crimes against humanity. Political scientist R.J. Rummel estimates governments murdered approximately 169,198,000 victims in the twentieth century, not including war deaths. Since the UN's creation, genocides have occurred across Asia, Europe, and Africa, with communist regimes responsible for about 104 million deaths between 1945-1987. The UN facilitated genocide in Rwanda, where a 1979 law had nearly eliminated civilian gun possession while the government retained firearms. In January 1994, UN mission head General Romeo Dallaire informed Kofi Annan's Department of Peacekeeping Operations about planned Tutsi extermination and requested permission to seize weapons caches. Despite multiple warnings and evidence, Annan's office ordered Dallaire to stand down. When the genocide began in April 1994, Annan's department instructed Dallaire not to compromise his "impartiality" by intervening. The UN's disarmament policies directly enabled the Srebrenica massacre in 1995. After Yugoslavia's breakup, the UN imposed an arms embargo that left Bosnian Muslims defenseless against well-armed Serb forces. Despite declaring Srebrenica a "safe area" and promising protection, UN peacekeepers abandoned the enclave without firing a shot when Bosnian Serb forces arrived on July 11, 1995. Over 7,500 men and boys were systematically executed in Europe's worst atrocity since World War II. In Sudan, the U.S. invoked the Genocide Convention in 2004, but the UN refused to call the atrocities genocide while pushing for more gun control. After the 1989 military coup, Sudan's Islamist government perpetrated genocide against multiple groups, killing 2.2 million in southern Sudan and displacing 4.5 million. In Darfur, government-backed Arab Janjaweed militias attacked black African Muslims, killing up to 400,000 and forcing two million into refugee camps. While the Janjaweed were heavily armed with "five or six guns per person," Sudan's restrictive gun laws prevented civilians from acquiring means of self-defense.

Capítulo 7

UN Corruption: A Culture of Impunity

The United States pays 22% of the UN's annual budget, including peacekeeping operations, amounting to $1.6 billion in 2004-money squandered through waste, fraud, and abuse. Beyond financial corruption, the UN's peacekeeping missions represent its most corrupt program, with widespread sexual abuse of women and children that the bureaucracy ignores despite American taxpayers funding 27% of the peacekeeping budget. In Cambodia in 1993, Bulgaria sent prison inmates and psychiatric ward patients as UN peacekeepers. These "criminal lunatics" arrived in Cambodia where they "get drunk as sailors, rape vulnerable Cambodian women." When whistleblowers protested the abuse, Yasushi Akashi, the head UN official in Cambodia, dismissed concerns with "Boys will be boys." Kathryn Bolkovac, a former American policewoman, exposed UN complicity in forced prostitution of teenage girls in Bosnia. UN forces, ironically sent to protect women from human trafficking, became customers at brothels where foreign women were imprisoned, beaten and raped. When Bolkovac reported that women were willing to testify about their abuse by UN forces, she was dismissed for "psychological burnout" and fired on false charges. Human rights investigators proved extensive UN involvement in human trafficking and prostitution in Kosovo, with victims "threatened, beaten, raped, and effectively imprisoned by their owners." Despite supposed reforms, Amnesty International's 2004 report confirmed that international police and troops continued exploiting trafficked women and girls with impunity. UN peacekeepers in Liberia in 1996, mostly from Nigeria and Ghana, sexually exploited refugee girls as young as nine or ten in exchange for rice or small amounts of cash. A 2002 Save the Children report documented how staff from over forty international agencies, including the UN, sexually abused refugees in Liberia, Sierra Leone, and Guinea, with humanitarian workers withholding food unless refugees submitted to sex. In 2004, media finally focused on massive sexual abuses by UN personnel in the Democratic Republic of Congo, operations funded by $759 million in U.S. taxpayer dollars through 2005. The UN's own airport in Congo was the base for a UN-run child prostitution network. Prince Zeid al-Hussein, who led an investigation, concluded that member states showed "utter silence" about reform, noting the UN had been covering up peacekeeper abuses since its inception sixty years ago. Despite the UN's rhetoric about women's rights, the organization makes no systematic effort to identify fathers or hold accountable the peacekeepers who father children with local women. These "peacekeeper babies" and their impoverished mothers receive no institutional support from the UN. The Oil-for-Food Program, established in 1996 to help the Iraqi people under sanctions, was almost instantly corrupted by Saddam Hussein and used to finance his dictatorship and bribe foreign governments and UN officials. According to the U.S. GAO, Saddam reaped $10.1 billion from the program, using funds to acquire materials for WMD programs and pay $25,000 rewards to families of Palestinian terrorist bombers. Kofi Annan helped his son Kojo secure employment with Cotecna, a Swiss company seeking a UN contract to monitor OFFP spending. Kojo received $400,000 from Cotecna for helping them obtain a multi-million dollar contract, and remained on the payroll even after the contract was awarded.

Capítulo 8

The UN and Terrorism: A Troubling Relationship

The United Nations simultaneously denounces U.S. antiterrorism efforts while providing financial and material support for terrorism. Despite official condemnations, the UN takes minimal concrete action against terrorism. State sponsors of terrorism like Syria, Iran, and Sudan remain UN members in good standing, often serving on committees dealing with terrorism and human rights. A BBC investigation revealed that in 1997, the UN funded the Muwafaq Foundation in Sudan, which the U.S. Treasury Department identified as a front for delivering money to bin Laden. The foundation provided logistical and financial support for terrorist organizations including a mujahidin battalion in Bosnia, Hamas, and Abu Sayyaf. The World Bank, a UN institution, has given millions to terrorist-sponsoring states: Iran ($625 million), Syria ($265 million), Sudan ($1.8 billion), and Taliban-ruled Afghanistan ($230 million). The Bank also funds Palestinian universities with official Hamas student chapters that glorify terrorism. Despite Kofi Annan's rhetorical opposition to terrorism, the UN actively collaborates with Hezbollah, the Lebanese terrorist organization responsible for killing 241 U.S. Marines and numerous other attacks. When the Security Council ordered Hezbollah's disarmament, Annan's envoy admitted this wasn't on his "action agenda." The UN has repeatedly helped terrorists conceal their activities. In 2004, Reuters filmed armed Palestinian terrorists entering a UN ambulance after murdering Israeli soldiers. The UN first denied this happened, then claimed the driver was forced to comply. The UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) accepts and distributes money to terrorist organizations, allows its facilities to be used for terrorism including bomb-making, and finances hate propaganda that incites terrorism. Much of this support goes to Hamas, a designated terrorist organization. Despite this, U.S. taxpayers fund about a third of UNRWA's budget-over $100 million annually and $2.5 billion since 1950. Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, who envisions "a world without America" and has called for Israel's extermination, is developing nuclear weapons while the UN's International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) fails to take effective action. Despite Iran's clear violations of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, the IAEA delayed referring Iran to the Security Council. The UN actively opposes Western counterterrorism efforts. After the July 2005 London attacks, when Britain announced plans to deport foreign terrorism inciters, the UN Commission on Human Rights threatened to bring Britain before the General Assembly for human rights violations.

Capítulo 9

The Global Assault on Democracy and Freedom

The Brazilian gun ban referendum of October 2005 revealed the contempt global gun control advocates have for democracy when it doesn't serve their agenda. When Brazilians rejected a total ban on civilian firearms sales by a 63% margin, gun control leader Rubem Fernandes of Viva Rio declared, "First lesson is don't trust direct democracy." The forces pushing for Brazil's gun ban included a complex network of global gun-confiscation groups, UN entities, billionaires, foreign governments, leftist church groups, the Brazilian government, and entertainment industry figures. Brazil's media heavily promoted the gun ban through soap operas that reach 65% of the population. The referendum cost an astounding $200 million-all to ban the sale of fewer than 2,000 guns annually in a nation of 180 million people. Enacted in 2003 after pressure from global gun control groups, the Statute of Disarmament imposed draconian restrictions on Brazilian gun owners. Citizens had to prove psychological fitness, undergo extensive background checks, show legal employment, demonstrate technical capacity, and present an approved reason for ownership. Registration fees amounted to one-third of average family incomes in rural areas. Just as the United Nations works to eliminate private firearms ownership globally, a parallel effort targets control of the Internet-America's creation that represents the most powerful tool for free expression since the printing press. China represents the benchmark in Internet censorship, coercing major U.S. companies like Google, Microsoft and Yahoo into adapting their services to suit government censors. Chinese users searching for terms like "democracy" or "freedom" receive error messages about "forbidden speech." The UN's World Summit of Information Society in Tunisia provided a platform for attacks on U.S. stewardship of the Internet. Ironically, the summit was held in one of the world's most repressive countries, where police beat journalists outside the conference center and attacked human rights activists. Much of the anti-American sentiment at the UN is directed at ICANN (Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers), the California nonprofit that regulates domain names. After inconclusive debates at the UN's Tunis summit, the Bush administration firmly stated that management of root directories and domain names would remain a U.S. function. The administration emphasized that the Internet has flourished because governments haven't dominated it, allowing for innovation and freedom.

Capítulo 10

Standing Against the Global Threat to Freedom

Stripped of emotion, the Second Amendment represents profound respect for human freedom and self-determination. Yet the United Nations claims jurisdiction over American citizens through a treaty demanding surrender of firearm freedoms to their "global thugocracy." The UN even scheduled its largest gun ban conference on U.S. soil on July 4, 2006. This global gun ban movement isn't a fringe effort but a collective of 500 organizations from 100 nations with substantial funding. Their mission extends beyond gun control to sweeping police powers threatening the entire Bill of Rights, including surveillance, documentation, and massive data collection-all without provisions for self-defense rights or serious penalties for actual gun traffickers. The fundamental conflict of our times is between civilization and barbarism. The Second Amendment protects our right to self-defense against tyrants and terrorists-a right with ancient roots recognized across civilizations from Greece and Rome to Jewish, Christian, Confucian, Taoist, and legitimate Islamic traditions. Against this civilized principle stands the UN's barbaric view that self-defense is merely a government-granted privilege. The UN and its terrorist allies are working to destroy the universal right of innocent people to own firearms for defense, whether against lone criminals, organized gangs, UN-funded terrorists, or genocidal governments. America must reject this bargain of trading liberty for false security, as our forefathers did, and defend the Bill of Rights against foreign interference.
