Public Law 87-297

Post by Texgun »

I have never heard anything in my lifetime about this supposed law. I read a few things at this website http://www.sweetliberty.org/issues/un/do.htm" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Does anyone hear know anything about this? It seems like an internet story. I found nothing in a search of the TexasCHLforum archives.

I'm no lawyer. I start with a sceptic eye with something like this, sounding a bit conspiritorial. The books and verbiage described do exist. I won't attempt (too much) to interpret them. I read a bit of it and it sounded alot like government documents outlining the concepts we have heard over the years dealing with nuclear non-proliferation and nuclear disarmament treaties with the USSR etc. I won't speculate on an orerarching push towads the direction of a one world army etc.

I did a quick search to see what i could see on these books and found this quickly: http://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/22/2551" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

PL 87-297 established the Arms Control and Disarmament Agency. It exists within the US State Department with the goal of reducing nuclear and biological/chemical weapon proliferation among all countries. It is not an attack on the military or the second amendment.

Ya know - it's a wonder that some of these conspiratorial folks heads don't explode...

Like someone else said, much ado about nothing.
