Newt was advocating going to the UN with this. Once you do that, you give up power to the UN to grant gun rights. Say you have a compliant UN and they said “yes, gun rights for the whole world in every country”. Sounds terrific, doesn’t it?
That very same UN would then be able to revoke gun rights anytime after that for the whole world if they wanted too.
I think that would be very bad for the US.
Compare it to how states have given up so much autonomy to the Federal government. Once you take the tease because it sounded so good at the time, you lose power.
Newt tries to go overly big here, That is one of my problems with Newt. He is a one worlder. That is never going to happen without tyranny.
I want my President to guarantee me that the rights protected by the Constitution of the United states will not be subject to, or infringed upon by anyone, anywhere.
The UN can go "F" itself. IMO, we should withdraw from membership in it and evict it from New York.
The UN is irrelevant in any case ... The RKBA exists independently of the Constitution. The Second Amendment recognizes the existence of that right and constrains the government from infringing on it.
