The Shooting Wire

This week in The Shooting Wire, the most excellent Jim Shepherd provides a feature article on former UN Ambassador John Bolton's address to the NRA's 136th Members Banquet.

Mr. Bolton had a lot to say about the United Nations, especially in regards to the attempt to impose International restrictions on the ability of American citizens to own private firearms. He also addressed the problem of the "Internationalism" of American diplomats:

For an American diplomat to "abandon the United States Constitution" in order to "get along" with the diplomatic community, said Bolton was "a deliberate tactic of the leftists to shift firearms into a different political environment.

After all, Bolton says, "many nations of the world want the United States to keep footing the costs for the United Nations, " but are "looking for ways to reduce our influence around the world." Limiting the rights of U-S citizens to have firearms, said Bolton, would be one way that "diminishment" could be accomplished.
I would love to cut&paste the whole article here, but instead I urge you to sign up for your own free subscription.

That would save me a LOT of trouble when I want to tell you about the fascinating articles available here.
