SBL 3/14/2002 Part 1
These resolutions were passed by the Constitution Party National Committee on March 9, 2002 in Charleston, South Carolina

Note: the God-given rights of the people are being assaulted from all directions and the Constitution Party is committed to restoring the
Constitution, which will have a positive affect on most, if not all of the issues that we are confronted with. Your support is needed now.

CDC Assault on Gun Rights

Whereas, there is a new threat to gun rights that is now being pushed through state legislatures called the 2001 "National Strategy for Suicide
Prevention" (NSSP) by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, the Surgeon General, and the Center for Disease Control, and

Whereas, this initiative is traceable to the 1993 United Nations World Health Organization Conference, and

Whereas, Goal Five of the NSSP, "Promote Efforts to Reduce Access to Lethal Means and Methods of Self-Harm," states "If intervention is not
possible when an individual is in a state of psychological pain, a self-destructive act may be prevented by limiting the individual’s access to the
means or methods of self-harm…it may connote redesigning or altering the existing lethal means of self-harm currently available, and to others
eliminating or limiting their availability…" and

Whereas, the report says that 57% of suicides are committed with guns, and "between 45-50 percent of all U.S. households have a firearm
inside the home…" and

Whereas, Objective 5.2 of the NSSP states "By 2005, expose a proportion of households to public information campaign(s) designed to reduce
the accessibility of lethal means, including firearms in the home". Therefore be it

Resolved, that the Constitution Party recognizes this new threat to constitutionally protected gun rights and that the Constitution Party opposes
any and all infringements of the God-given right to keep and bear arms.
