They're still at it Dave! Everybody is aware that John Bolton was appointed U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. but few realize the criticality of this appointment to gun owners! I quote the article by Wayne LaPierre in the Oct. 2005 issue of "The American Rifleman."
"Bolton's appearance before the U.N. Conference to draft a global "treaty on small arms" was remarkable for the simple clarity of his words and for the effect it had on the proceedings:
"The United States will not join consensus on a final document that contains measures contrary to our constitutional right to keep and bear arms."
Can anyone imagine a Canadian politician being as clear, strong and forthright? I thought not!
A manifesto has been distributed by I.A.N.S.A. (International Action Network on Small Arms), a group headed by Rebecca Peters whose accomplishments include the confiscatory ban in Australia that robbed firearms owners of semi-auto rifles. Her world view of firearms ownership would limit possession of firearms to single shot rifles owned by registered hunters only!
I fear the U.S. may be the last bastion of common sense attitudes towards firearms!
