The global anti-gun movement is ramping up again, and this time it's the Dominican Republic that they have squarely in their sights. And get this: In their push for disarmament, they're actually saying that you don't have a right to defend yourself.
Taking a page straight from the United Nations, one of the anti-gun Dominican leaders said guns in the hands of civilians only lead to confrontations and are never used for self defense.
That's baloney. You've read enough armed citizen stories in this blog and in the pages of NRA magazines to know that armed citizens defend themselves every day in this country. But this anti-gunner goes even further, saying that only the State should be involved in the fight against crime, not ordinary Dominicans.
This same attitude is being promoted by the United Nations. In fact, not only does the UN oppose the human right of self-defense, the bureaucrats there are pushing the idea that unless countries support strict gun control, they're violating human rights. It sounds crazy, because it is.
Obviously the government has a responsibility to work to reduce crime. But when a criminal attacks me in my home or on the street or anywhere else, I also have the right to protect myself... no matter what the United Nations and the global gun-ban crowd might think.
