Obama To Sign Anti-Second Amendment U.N. Gun Grab

Second Amendment: The United Nations is putting the finishing touches on an Arms Trade Treaty that transcends borders and may even trample our Constitutional right to bear arms. Every indication is that the president will sign it.

Like the New Start and Law of the Sea treaties before it, as well as the Kyoto Protocol and Agenda 21, the Arms Trade Treaty being finalized at the U.N. this month is one of those feel-good, can't-we-all-get-along pieces of parchment whose net effect is to accomplish little except to eat away at American sovereignty and freedom.

Just as the world's worst human rights violators sat on and often chaired the U.N. Human Rights Council, Iran, arms supplier extraordinaire to America's enemies, was elected on Saturday to a top position on the United Nations Conference on the Arms Trade Treaty being held in New York. It began July 2 and extends through July 27.

This came right after the same U.N. found Iran guilty of illegally transferring guns and bombs to the murderous Syrian regime of Bashar Assad, currently slaughtering thousands of its own citizens as an impotent U.N. joins the U.S. administration in standing around and watching.

The mindset of the one-worlders preaches that guns cause crime and war and if we only get rid of those otherwise inanimate objects the evil that lurks in the hearts and minds of men will suddenly dissipate. Then we can buy the world a soft drink and sing "Kumbaya."

I wasn't even going to bother.

In a completely platonic manner.

Right, as if Agenda 21 is not the law of the land in the USA.

It's not in Alabama: Alabama Bans U.N. Agenda 21 Sovereignty Surrender.

Whatever we like to say about the Congress, it is not helpless and will react with collective anger at any usurpation of its Constitutional prerogatives

What evidence do you have that congress will show a spine?

[BeauBo]

Just like the Kyoto Treaty, not ratified by the Senate, but used to justify regulations anyway.

It advances the ball for their agenda, and is probably filled with hundreds of little things that they can build on later through activist judicial interpretation/creation.

[MrB]

It’s constitutional under the “gun ban tax” provision...

Has Roberts returned to the country yet?

[Deo volente]

Roberts will simply rule that they can’t force us to give up our guns, but can tax us if we don’t.

For those of you who think that signing a treaty is meaningless. These are the key points in the article:

• There were those among the founding fathers who opposed the treaty power as drafted in the Constitution.
• Modern treaties often wildly exceed Constitutional authority.
• The ratification process is often bogus.
• They affect your rights, life, property, and career directly.
• They are drafted in secret.
• They can be changed without notice, recourse, or representation after enactment.
• They benefit primarily the major stockholders of corporate wealth held in tax-exempt “charitable” foundations.
• They can be instituted and enforced at the flick of the President’s pen, or less.

This post is to all who think that this is meaningless, subject to ratification or any similar idea. Please see the above post 89 and read the article linked therein. It will educate you to the perils we face if so much as a Department of State lacky signs this beast.

Philman 36 & Freedom_Is_Not_Free, thanks for your efforts to educate on this matter.

[Quickgun]

Oh yeah, it’s there, it just needs organizing, things haven’t gotten quite bad enough yet.

[Leep]

I kind of wish they’d tell the American people they will be confiscating their gun. Give us the date say, September 11th 2012.
Let’s end this silliness once and for all.
We either stop it from happening or we become Surfs.

[TLI]

he can’t sign it unless the senate ratifies it with a 2/3rd majority vote. Good luck with that.

Article 2, Section 2,

He shall have Power, by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, to make Treaties, provided two thirds of the Senators present concur;

Look for a midnight/holiday vote...

[Biggirl]

It will make a second revolt likely to happen.

[unixfox]

Just keep pushing pal, keep pushing.

The day of reckoning is fastly approaching.

[napscoordinator]

We have to get every eligible conservative registered to vote in time and then at the polls on election day in November.

I agree and hope that they vote for a conservative like Virgil Goode....Good thinking!!!!

[RWB Patriot]

Let ‘em try and enforce it if they pass it. We’ve got eighty million plus or minus; how many do they have?

[Little Ray]

I am about at that point...

...thanks for your efforts to educate on this matter.

You know how many years I've been doing this.
I keep on keepin' on, but it doesn't seem to be very effective, despite my best efforts.
