Newt Gingrich said he will submit a treaty to the United Nations that would make the right to bear arms a universal human right.
“Far fewer women would be raped. Far fewer children would be killed…and far fewer dictators would survive if people had the right to bear arms everywhere on the planet,” Gingrich said, earning a standing ovation from a crowd of thousands. “We should say the second amendment is an amendment for all mankind.”
NRA chief lobbyist Chris Cox joked about Gingrich’s call for a treaty that obviously has zero chance of ever passing.
“The Gingrich Treaty,” he said. “I like that.”
