My jaw hit the floor when I heard the news.
Coming directly from the U.N.'s own website, I was furious to find out that the second largest direct funder of their global gun ban is American taxpayers like you and me.
And sadly, those funds haven't slowed down since President Trump has taken office.
Could it just be oversight? Or could it be entrenched holdovers from the Obama administration willfully blocking President Trump from knowing this is going on?
Either way, it is unacceptable that we are continuing to fund this global gun ban.
If fully implemented in the United States, our Second Amendment would be put on life support, and it would take years to undo the damage.
Their goal is to raise $125,000 by Thursday, September 28th.
With those funds, they are going to run an ad blitz designed to get the attention of President Donald Trump and Secretary of State Rex Tillerson.
Everything from mail and email, to state-of-the-art online programs designed to identify and mobilize Second Amendment supporters, will be utilized.
But a program like this will cost a lot of money, and that's why I'm emailing you today.
I really don't know what you can afford, but I'm hoping you help out my good friends at the National Association for Gun Rights by digging deep to help fund their vital program.
Perhaps once I explain why this is such an important cause, you'll even consider giving $75.
You see, the anti-gun global elites are breathing a sigh of relief.
Even with their anti-gun cheerleader Hillary Clinton not in the presidency, they are able to keep their yearly check courtesy of the U.S. taxpayer — which they are using to work towards global implementation of the Treaty.
In fact, the anti-gun global elites just got back from a posh set of meetings in Geneva, Switzerland, where they schemed about ways to implement their anti-gun agenda world-wide.
They know that as long as U.S. money keeps flooding in and our signature stays intact they will have their way eventually.
And even if implementation isn't possible under President Trump, they are fully prepared to wait for someone like (God forbid) Senator Elizabeth Warren to take over the White House.
In the meantime, they can get by on the hundreds of thousands in U.S. funds they will accumulate by then.
Frankly, I think President Trump would be wise to cut off a lot, maybe even all, funding to the United Nations given its long history of anti-American activity . . . but that's a subject for another day.
Today, I hope you will stand with me in at least cutting off U.S. funding for the U.N.'s global gun ban scheme.
So please click here and chip in to help the National Association for Gun Rights raise $125,000 for their Ad Blitz by this Thursday.
After reading through the details of the Treaty, it's hard to see how our Second Amendment could survive such an assault.
Perhaps the worst of the Treaty's provisions can be found in Article V, which mandates countries establish a "National Control List" — or a NATIONAL GUN REGISTRATION database!
You and I both know gun registration is just the first step toward outright CONFISCATION.
And the U.N. is already plotting their next step — developing new "International Small Arms Control Standards" (ISACS).
*** Restrictive licensing for gun and ammo sales, and perhaps even bans on certain types of firearms. This could include anything from semi-auto rifles to shotguns to handguns!
*** Bans on owning a firearm for self-defense — unless a citizen can somehow demonstrate need and get federal government approval.
And with U.S. funding continuing to support this treaty, the global anti-gun elites are convinced that the U.S. will come on board with full implementation.
That's why the immediate defunding of this treaty is so important, and why I asked you to make such a generous contribution.
So please click here and make a generous contribution of $75 to NAGR's "Defund the U.N. Gun Ban Ad Blitz" right away!
But if $75 is just too much for you at this time, I understand. The only reason I am asking for so much is because I know first-hand, as a U.S. Senator, just how effective the National Association for Gun Rights is.
Every cent they receive goes directly towards protecting and restoring the Second Amendment in our great country.
So please consider digging deep, whether that be giving $75, $50, or $25 it will be much appreciated, and will make a huge difference.
Whatever you give, I would just like to thank you for your dedication to liberty, and the Second Amendment.
P.S. I was shocked and angered to find out that the United Nation's "Small Arms Treaty" is largely funded by U.S. tax payers like you and me.
That's more than every country in the world with the exception of Japan.
That's why I'm hoping I can count on you to make a generous contribution of $75, $50, or $25 to NAGR's "Defund the U.N. Gun Ban Ad Blitz" by their Thursday deadline.
I don't want the U.N. Gun Ban but I've no funds.
I figured I could at least at least put this out there as another last-ditch effort!
Tom Palmer lectures on modern threats to liberalism and individualism, exploring the philosophical roots of these threats and explaining the danger they pose. He touches on the theocratic threat of Islamism and the leftist threat of identity politics, but the bulk of the discussion focuses on the recent re-emergence of the type of nationalist, racist collectivism previously exhibited by fascists in the 1920s, 30s, and 40s.
The slides associated with Palmer's lecture are posted on SlidesLive.
I'm a 'conservative' libertarian. I disagree with the National (Libertarian) Party on a number of points, mostly regarding open borders.
But, I still believe all liberty-loving folks need to band together, regardless of minor sticking points, to battle the evils of Statism.
Lest we lose it all over infighting!
