CEDARBURG (WITI) — There is a push within the United Nations to improve the monitoring of firearms in America. A Wisconsin man is helping to lead these efforts — but some here in the Dairy State are critical of the plan.
“Nobody wants anyone shot in Milwaukee. No one does,” Dr. Stephen Hargarten with the Medical College of Wisconsin said.
Dr. Hargarten is just back from a United Nations meeting on gun safety.
“Many member nations are very concerned and interested in how the global community can better mark and trace (firearms),” Dr. Hargarten said.
Dr. Hargarten was invited to speak at the meeting due to his background with global health issues and injury prevention methods. He says there’s a push by the U.N. to include uniform marking and tracing of small firearms sold in the United States using laser technology.
Similar to an automobile’s VIN, or vehicle identification number, these new permanent markings could eventually aid law enforcement.
“Have a better idea about how these products end up in illicit hands,” Dr. Hargarten said.
While Dr. Hargarten believes tracing would reduce those occurrences, gun rights supporters believe it could hinder their freedoms.
“The bad guys and the criminals don`t care. They aren`t going to follow any laws anyway. So it doesn`t make any difference to them what the laws are. Gun laws only impact the good guys,” Jim Fendry, the Director of the Wisconsin Pro-Gun Movement said.
Fendry says gun tracking has been in use for hundreds of years.
“All guns already have the equivalent of VINs. We call them serial numbers. And they`ve had them since the 1800s,” Fendry said.
Dr. Hargarten argues serial numbers can be removed, and more needs to be done.
Fendry believes new tracking systems could cost the country trillions of dollars.
“It`s a clear violation of not only our second amendment rights but also our Wisconsin constitution,” Fendry said.
The proposal is still being debated in the U.N., and would need to be taken up in the Legislature before becoming law.
Dr. Hargarten says the new technology could help police departments like Milwaukee’s to track and monitor crimes.

total asswad
Assholes like this guy still don’t understand three things:
1. Serial numbers are just like registered numbers
2. Who cares about tracing guns because the Bad guys NEVER FOLLOW THE LAW!!!!!!!!
3. What part of “shall not be infringed” do you not understand?
DUH!!!!!!!!!!
Get it through your stupid, little head!
And I thought these Phd individuals were always bright and able to think outside the box. What a joke.
The only box they are able think outside of is their money box.
““Many member nations are very concerned and interested in how the global community can better mark and trace (firearms),” Dr. Hargarten said.”
WHO THE F**K CARES WHAT THEY THINK!! THEY ARE AN UNCONSTITUTIONAL, ILLEGAL ENTITY!! So take your one world bullshit elsewhere.
If this guy is a doctor of medicine, maybe he should take a chill pill and go head over to that ditch over there. We’ll be with him shortly.
This “genius” will really get ya going. 😉

From the last few lines of the article that you linked to, Angel:
“The swag is back for some gun-rights advocates. They’re openly carrying firearms into dangerous spots like Starbucks. Two months ago, dozens of them walked through downtown Toledo, some carrying pistols, AR-15 rifles, and shotguns.
I’m not impressed. The next time you see someone carrying an assault rifle into a coffee shop, ask him or her the question we should all ask ourselves:
What are you so afraid of?”
At this point, he should have brought in that frail, elderly, Minnesota woman, who had three guns in her car and was asked that same question by a cop who pulled her over.
Her answer,
“Not a damn thing.”
LOL
I plan to be like her when I “grow up.” 🙂
i am like her and i am grown up 🙂
Patriot role model.
My gun permit is the 2 article to the constitution of the u.s.a.
Why is the UN headquartered in the US?
The UN is communist.
Communism really means ‘jewish’ rule.
Who’s in charge of america? ‘jews’
Who’s trying to disarm americans? ‘jews’
So this ‘man’ from wisconsin is definitely a useful idiot.
The un has no business monitoring anything in america.
The bitter irony is that the league of nations and later un were created to
promote world peace…they’ve done nothing of the sort. The league of nations was a ‘jewish’ construct.
The un is one of many vehicles the ‘jews’ use to gain world dominion.
So, the ‘jews’ are hitting america from many fronts in a vain attempt to disarm us and bring us to heel.
