Parental rights, religious rights, educational rights and the right to discipline are all threatened by the U.N. Convention on the Rights of the Child. But a careful review of the United Nations' own documents reveals an additional threat to the rights of Americans – the right of private gun ownership.
At first glance, the U.N.'s discussion of guns and children focuses on the subject of children being improperly used by Third World nations as child soldiers. All that can be said on this subject is that the U.N. Convention on the Rights of the Child, or UNCRC, has had precious little impact in stopping this barbaric practice.
Yet there is another theme to be found in the U.N.'s attack on guns.
U.N. child's rights advocates believe, teach and promote the idea that all private gun ownership is dangerous for children, and children have the right to grow up in a community that is free from all guns.

Limiting the rights of gun ownership is not some secret agenda of the U.N. but is open for all to see. UNICEF, the official U.N. agency charged with the worldwide advancement of children's rights, has published a four-color brochure entitled: "No Guns Please, We Are Children."
