SAAMI Quits U.N. Small Arms Project and Issues Minority Report
The Sporting Arms and Ammunition Manufacturers’ Institute (SAAMI) issued the following statement:
SAMMI, a registered United Nations non-governmental organization (NGO) with roster status, has taken the regrettable but necessary step of withdrawing any reference of SAAMI association from the U.N. agency project to create “International Small Arms Control Standards (ISACS).”
The goal of ISACS, as stated on the U.N. website is “To develop internationally accepted and validated standards that provide clear and comprehensive guidance to practitioners and policy-makers on small arms and light weapons control.”
SAAMI, being an accredited standards-setting organization, welcomed the opportunity to be part of a standards-setting process which requires rigorous adherence to facts.
“We saw the ISACS as a way to cut through the politics and rhetoric of this issue and get down to core actions that will reduce violence,” says Rick Patterson, Managing Director of SAAMI. “Regrettably, the process has been tainted, expert input has been ignored, and the resulting standards represent nothing more than the opinions of the authors — most of whom are affiliated with NGO’s supporting gun control.”
Because the U.N. has ignored contrary facts and opinions, and quelled debate, the U.N. has done itself — and everyone associated with ISACS — a disservice. They have negatively affected the credibility of all parties involved. For these reasons, SAAMI simply cannot allow its reputation for professionalism, integrity and factual expertise to be associated with the ISACS program.
SAMMI has also issued a lengthy “Minority Report in response to Draft International Small Arms Control Standards Promulgated by the U.N. Coordinating Action in Small Arms (CASA)”. This Minority Report is highly critical of the processes leading to the proposed United Nations International Small Arms Control Standards (ISACS). SAAMI’s Minority Report notes that there was a “refusal to consider opposing views” and an “editorial bias during the drafting process.” CLICK HERE to read full SAAMI Minority Report.

Good of SAAMI to take this principled stand. The real surprise is that they expected anything different from the U.N. than this outcome.
Glad they stood up for truth and principle.
When i see the U.N attached as apart of the tittle, alarm-bells start ringing in my head. This body are made up of all sorts of activists including animal climate change, anti gun ect ect, and these people are solely agenda driven….. A small quote from the report should start alarm-bells ringing all over the world as it does me here in Australia. because this mob have full access to politicians and law makers.
Quote:”UNICEF could not support messages about guns being a recreational and useful thing for children and youth, together with the issue of lawful use, etc. The same goes for safe handling messages dealing with arms”
The whole premise of “International Small Arms Control Standards (ISACS)” is offensive.
The U.N. is a festering boil on the ass of the world.
The UN is a loathsome organisation that has gone well beyond its use by date.
A timely article on the UN…yes indeed.Though I am not a fan of Hollywood, I just rented the movie “The Whistleblower” which shows how corrupt the organization is. It turned my stomach to watch. Watch it for yourself and see if you do not agree with me.
