Mike Farris:
The official UN brochure entitled No Guns, Please: We Are Children contains several disturbing assertions, such as this one: “Small arms and light weapons kill and disable more children and adults than any other instrument of violence.”

The brochure also states, “In societies destabilized by the use of small arms and light weapons, children are denied many of their human rights. As a result, hard-won developmental gains are often lost and may even be reversed.”

Finally, the brochure adds that “in communities enjoying relative peace, children witness and are traumatized by the use of small arms and light weapons in domestic violence and disputes. Children also become accidental victims because adults fail to keep the weapons out of their reach.”

The brochure makes it clear that the UN intends to address far more than children in war; its object is to eliminate the “threat” posed by guns from the lives of all children whether their community is characterized as “in conflict,” “post-conflict,” “destabilized,” or “enjoying relative peace.”

If the United States ratifies this treaty, we have made a legally binding agreement to regulate all public policy toward all issues, including gun ownership, in a manner that’s consistent with the UN dictates. I’m Mike Farris.
