It's no longer a secret the United Nations wants to establish some kind of global tax scheme and impose global gun control. If the United Nations can do both at the same time, it will. To make certain the United Nations has a clear understanding of the position of the United States, Congressman Ron Paul, along with ten other congressmen, introduced H.R. 3125 - The Right to Keep and Bear Arms Act of 2003. According to H.R. 3125, Congress finds that: 1. over the past decade, the United Nations has demonstrated a consistent animus to the Second Amendment to the United States Constitution and to the right to keep and bear arms; 2. in June 2003, the United Nations sponsored a "Week of Action Against Small Arms"; 3. French President Jacques Chirac and the socialist president of Brazil Luiz Lula da Silva both advocate the imposition of a United Nations' tax on firearms for various utopian purposes; 4. two million largely unarmed people are killed yearly by oppressive genocidal governments throughout the world; and 5. ironically, at the same time the United Nations was working to prohibit Americans from exercising their Second Amendment rights to defend themselves, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms was called to investigate the illegal possession of submachine guns by bodyguards to Secretary General of the United Nations Kofi Annan. H.R. 3125 would prohibit U.S. taxpayer dollars from being used to support or promote any United Nations' actions that could in any way infringe on the Second Amendment. The legislation also expresses the sense of Congress that proposals to tax, or otherwise limit, the right to keep and bear arms are "reprehensible and deserving of condemnation." H.R. 3125 was introduced on September 17, 2003 with ten original cosponsors which is an impressive number to start. But let's make clear to the United Nations, France, China and to any other country what the position of the United States is. Urge your U.S. representative to defend America's Second Amendment by cosponsoring H.R. 3125.

I receive the Liberty Committee's notices by E-Mail and sent my comments not only to my new Representative in Mississippi but also to my good friend back in Alabama, who is an A+ plus supporter of our rights.
