Fred Thompson Smacks Down UN Denial of Right to Self-defense.

The Volokh Conspiracy lays bare the attacks on Fred Thompson for daring to assert American sovereignty over its own legal system concerning gun ownership and the right to defend oneself when attacked by others.

One-World enemies of the US Constitution such as Kevin Drum defend the UN and insult Thompson for asserting American sovereignty. Drum quotes a paid shill for the UN named Mark Goldberg approvingly. Here's TVC's nutshell:
It's rather telling that the UN's American defenders fail to directly address an indisputable fact: U.N. Human Rights Council's subcommission on the Promotion and Protection of Human Rights has endorsed a report denying the existence of a human right of self-defense, and the subcommission, pursuant to the report, has declared that all national governments are required by international human rights law to implement various gun control provisions--provisions which, by the UN's standards, make even the gun control laws of New York City and Washington, DC, into violations of international law because they are insufficiently stringent. (See page 14 of the draft BYU article.)

Forget about states like Florida asserting their jurisdiction over individual rights. Nutjob libtards like Drum want the US itself deprived of jurisdiction over its own legal system.

And the UN would be the kindly overseer of American law and order!!!
