As much as I like Newt, why does ANYONE need permission from anyone else, ESPECIALLY the Godamn U.N. to protect themselves!
Getting pretty fed up with this “getting permission” bullsh!t
C'mon dude. Take a chill pill and acquiece to your betters. /s
Please don’t use God’s name in vain.
Don’t you get it? The UN considers private gun ownership to be a civil rights violation. Of course we don’t follow that. But other nations do. That’s what he’s talking about.
What many people here do not understand is that many countries accept international treaties as superior to their own law. This is, in fact, one of their legal principles, and it’s what gives the UN and other such bodies so much clout.
So while the US may not need it (yet), since Newt was talking about the world, yes, it would help to have a UN treaty affirming the right to bear arms.
From February 2012 at another NRA meeting. Newt has a great speech there.

They don’t get the ‘limited government’ or the fact that the power resides in the people not in the govt.
