Speaking as the former Deputy Head of SEESAC, the lead UN unit for arms control in South Eastern Europe (
www.seesac.org ), I can attest that the Small Arms Survey is an extremely dangerous organization and that this is BIG business for them. (We're talking millions of dollars, funded through the UN with, guess what? Millions of dollars taken from United States UN dues!)
These peopledespise the United States in particular and the Second Amendment to our Constitution especially. When I held that UN position, I was in constant conflict with them and BICC (Bonn International Centre for Conversion) and Saferworld. All of these organizations work together as one to achievetwo goals: worldwide disarmament of civilian populations and to make as much money as possible while forcing arms control "theories" upon the same.
While in my position, I was witness to graft and corruption on a daily basis within these organizations, such as my former UN boss granting contracts to the Small Arms Survey while at the same time being a member of the SAS Board of Directors. UN contracts were also given to Saferworld by the same person while he was (guess what?) a senior member of Saferworld's Board of Directors!
The same guy was flying all around the world (at our taxpayer expense) to speak at other independant Small Arms and Explosives Events while on the payroll of the same companies that were sponsoring these events AND got paid max per diem by the UN! (read again, at US taxpayers expense!)
The only tangible thing that they have ever done was to tighten export restrictions and end user certificates and this IMO, is a good thing. However, the damage that they are capable of is tremendousand I believe that pro-2A organizations need to closely monitor these anti organizations and take active steps to shut them down before they do the same to us.
