If U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry has his way the United Nations will be able to say if Americans are allowed to have their Second Amendment rights. He signed an anti-gun treaty with the United Nations that the U.S. Senate has already said it is against.
The treaty Kerry signed without authorization from the Senate would create an un-Constitutional registry of all US gun buyers and would lead to the UN controlling American's gun rights.
Secretary of State John Kerry on Wednesday signed a controversial U.N. treaty on arms regulation, riling U.S. lawmakers who vow the Senate will not ratify the agreement.
As he signed the document, Kerry called the treaty a "significant step" in addressing illegal gun sales, while claiming it would also protect gun rights.
"This is about keeping weapons out of the hands of terrorists and rogue actors. This is about reducing the risk of international transfers of conventional arms that will be used to carry out the world's worst crimes. This is about keeping Americans safe and keeping America strong," he said. "This treaty will not diminish anyone's freedom. In fact, the treaty recognizes the freedom of both individuals and states to obtain, possess, and use arms for legitimate purposes." when guns are outlawed2 U.S. lawmakers, though, have long claimed the treaty could lead to new gun control measures. They note the U.S. Senate has final say on whether to approve the agreement.
Sen. Bob Corker, R-Tenn., in a letter to President Obama, urged his administration not to take any action to implement the treaty without the consent of the Senate.
He claimed the treaty raises “fundamental issues” concerning "individual rights protected by the Second Amendment of the United States Constitution."
The National Rifle Association blasted the plan, claiming it would impose an "invasive registration scheme" by requiring importing countries to give exporting countries information on "end users."
"The Obama administration is once again demonstrating its contempt for our fundamental, individual Right to Keep and Bear Arms," Chris Cox, executive director of the NRA's Institute for Legislative Action, said in a statement. "These are blatant attacks on the constitutional rights and liberties of every law-abiding American. The NRA will continue to fight this assault on our fundamental freedom."
Once again Obama's regime tries to end the Second Amendment by stealth.
Overpasses For America is a grassroots organization with tens of thousands of volunteer patriots who choose to stand for their nation without an ounce in pay.
Lots for Trump to undo starting in January. I sure hope his team has a list that they can add this BS too an immediate revoke. Add voter fraud as a number 1 issue now!!!
Trump 2016
Thanks, I thought it wasn’t new.
“Were the elections that put these people in power legitimate?”
No. Not many Liberals could get into office without very efficient and widespread voter fraud.
Kerry has no authority to speak or sign anything for me. Why aren’t these people in prison for treason??
I remember 50 years ago the John Birch Society was warning about this type of one world government. Of course they were a bunch of right wing nut jobs. /s
signature meaningless
President (as perhaps via Kerry) has treaty-making power only provided 2/3 of Senate concurs
it is not a treaty of the USA, it is not binding on USA at all
AND there is the second issue that a treaty cannot be used to abrogate American citizens’ constitutional rights (which if a treaty did this, would wind up having to be litigated)
but FIRST and foremost, USA is NOT bound to any “treaty” unless and until President has 2/3 Senate approval
Kerry can wipe his War=Hero A** with his sneaky new “treaty”
I’m past enough, I am at “You &^#%! don’t have enough security!”
These fools are betting that 100,000,000 Americans won’t exercise their 2nd Amendment rights when the SHTF.
I truly hope they don’t have to find out the hard way, that we will.
Thanks for the clarification. I am happy to hear that.
Sen. Bob Corker, R-Tenn., in a letter to President Obama,
*************************
The same Sen. Corker who passed the Corker Amendment making the Iran “deal” possible........
“just how would they enforce it?”
They can’t, and they know it. They’re counting on 100,000,000 Americans (the largest armed force on earth) to be good little sheeple, and willingly relinquish their rights.
It’s a complete fantasy.
KERRY - OLD BRAIN DEAD COMMIE...
This is the Government type and the reason Our Fore Fathers created the Second Amendment in the first Place.
Never Never let these A H’s in our Govt. take away the Second Amendment.
There was a Politician from Rhode Island on Fox news Talking with Tucker Carlsen who never stopped Yelling at Calsen to pass laws to inhibit the econd Amendmen.
His Name was Ciccene and he was an Annoying S.O.B.
Can we just start the hangings yet? I’m sick of having to deal with ‘me...
“treaty’s”
Treaties
Seems they're okay taking things from children, let's see how good they are taking guns from Americans
“It doesn’t mean jack until it is ratified by the Senate.”
And The People.
Even if that den of thieves were to ratify this treason, it wouldn’t mean jack.
I am in KY roughly how far is it to NY City?
