Legal Advisor Nominee Advocates Global Gun Control
quotes:
Last week, the Senate Foreign Relations Committee held a hearing on the nomination of Harold Koh, a former Dean of the Yale Law School, to be Legal Advisor to the State Department. One of the many concerns with Koh is his belief that international organizations should be empowered to regulate the Second Amendment right to own a firearm....
...On April 2, 2002, Koh gave a speech to the Fordham University School of Law titled “A World Drowning in Guns” where he mapped out his vision of global gun control...
...Koh advocated a U.N.-governed regime to force the U.S. “to submit information about their small arms production...”
...Koh supports the idea that the U.N. should be granted the power “to standardize national laws and procedures with member states of regional organizations...”
...This regulatory regime would allow U.N. members such as Cuba, Venezuela, North Korea and Iran to have a say in what type of gun regulations are imposed on American citizens.
Read enough yet? Well, it appears that this administrations cards are squarely on the table if this information is correct. If you want to learn more about Mr Koh, I would advise that you go read his speech about global gun control found here.
