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.

“use arms for legitimate purposes.”
What is a legitimate purpose?
What we say is legitimate.
Yep, CWII is not far away.

Still waiting for Kerry to release his SF 180.
It has only been 12 years since he promised to do so.
Yeah, that’s the problem. If Trump wins, I think a NEW party is in our future. Let the R’s rot in the dust bin of history.
“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.”

This traitor kerry shows no end to his hatred of Free America.
There are a group of people both Ds and Rs who kinda like America the way it is, where they all get richer, where they get control and passes on corruption through cronyism, and where the rest of us are relegated to the back of the bus, and if we complain we are called racists or bigots. Kerry is part of the cabal of destruction.
Yes, it was. And doing a damn better job of it than the blithering idiots running the show in Viet Nam.

In fact, a previous generation of state sovereignty-respecting justices had clarified, in broad language, that powers not delegated to the feds, expressly via the Constitution, the specific power the regulate civilian-related firearms in this example, are prohibited to the feds.
”From the accepted doctrine that the United States is a government of delegated powers, it follows that those not expressly granted, or reasonably to be implied from such as are conferred, are reserved to the states, or to the people. To forestall any suggestion to the contrary, the Tenth Amendment was adopted. The same proposition, otherwise stated, is that powers not granted are prohibited [emphasis added].” —United States v. Butler, 1936.
In fact, it is disturbing to note that federal regulations for personal protection firearms seemingly started appearing in the books when Constitution-ignoring socialist FDR was president, FDR and the Congress at that time infamous for making laws which Congress could not justify under its constitutional Article I, Section 8-limited powers.
Franklin Roosevelt: The Father of Gun Control
Regarding low-information Kerry’s misguided goal concerning using UN treaties as a back door to forcing gun control laws on US citizens, the states having never delegated to the corrupt feds, expressly via the Constitution the specific power to make such laws, please consider the following.
Based on his experience as vice president and president of the Senate, Thomas Jefferson had essentially clarified that the Senate cannot use its power to approve treaties as a way for Congress to bypass the Constitutions Article V amendment process to create new powers for itself.
”In giving to the President and Senate a power to make treaties, the Constitution meant only to authorize them to carry into effect, by way of treaty, any powers they might constitutionally exercise.” - Thomas Jefferson: The Anas, 1793.
”Surely the President and Senate cannot do by treaty what the whole government is interdicted from doing in any way.” - Thomas Jefferson: Parliamentary Manual, 1812.
A more important example concerning limits on treaty powers comes from a previous generation of state sovereignty-respecting justices. In fact, the Court reflected on Jeffersons words, clarifying that Congress cannot use its power to negotiate treaties as a way to bypass its constitutionally limited powers.
” 2. Insofar as Art. 2(11) of the Uniform Code of Military Justice provides for the military trial of civilian dependents accompanying the armed forces in foreign countries, it cannot be sustained as legislation which is "necessary and proper" to carry out obligations of the United States under international agreements made with those countries, since no agreement with a foreign nation can confer on Congress or any other branch of the Government power which is free from the restraints of the Constitution [emphasis added].” - Reid v. Covert, 1956.
Patriots need to start pulling the no expressly delegated power to regulate civilian-related gun card, and also the limits on treaty powers card, on low-information lawmakers and government officials who seek to take our gun away.
Vote these traitors out of office.

The Second Amendment is not worth such risks.
Kerry is only following orders of barry Soetoro AKA Barack Hussein Obama. This is just another part of what Obama promised to achieve to his handlers and the UN. Obama will fight to have this approved. This is the only way that the American People will lose their right to bear arms. It is a planned and coordinated move, and it is supported by th demoncrats. Doffus Paul Ryan fell for it already
Pay no attention to UN trucks driving thru your neighborhoods.. It is just ‘training’ you know.
agree
Anything this treasonous piece of crap does is without authorization of the people of the United States.
...an un-Constitutional registry of all US gun buyers...
Kerry and buttcrack obama could care less about the Constitutionality of anything.
Kerry and buttcrack obama think the US Constitution is outdated and no longer applies to our "modern" world...and they are unfortunately supported in that crap by several treasonous Federal-level judges and possibly one or two on the US Supreme Court.
...and would lead to the UN controlling American's gun rights.
Which would then lead to massive bloodshed, because I, for one, will not disarm.
Blue helmets will become my primary targets and I will go to my death on this issue.
Kerry should be tarred, feathered, drawn and quartered for his treasonous crap and buttcrack obama should be impeached, tried for treason and hung from a high oak tree.
Period.
Has no meaning
If shillary is elected them it will be invoked
Keep your eye on California, Governor “Moonbeam” Brown just signed a whole boatload of anti-gun crap into Law making this State the HOTTEST front in RKBA preservation.
We’ll see how “hot” it gets when LEO has to try to enforce this @#$@#.
Kerry’s sign doesn’ t hold legal squat.
