BELLEVUE, WA – -(Ammoland.com)- You heard it straight from the horse’s mouth. Jay Carney said Obama will sign the UN Arms Trade Treaty “before the end of August…We believe it’s in the interest of the United States.”
This is very strategic timing considering Congress is on a 5 week vacation lasting thru the month of August!
These back door tactics are nothing new for the Obama Administration, which is why we are using tactics of our own to stop his anti-gun agenda. We have the home fax numbers of every Senator so while they are absent from the Capitol we can demand they must not ratify the UN Gun Treaty once Obama signs it.
We CAN stop this international treaty from reaching American soil by killing it the United States Senate. The U.S Senate must ratify an international treaty for it to be effective. They would need 67 votes to ratify the treaty. Reach every U.S. Senator at their home office; tell them you do not want this treaty in OUR United States!
Demand They KEEP THEIR TREATY AWAY FROM OUR GUNS -
DO NOT Ratify The UN ‘Arms Trade Treaty’!
Everything Obama tackles in office is strategically timed and politically motivated. He only looks out for himself, his fellow liberals, and his anti-gun agenda. After mass shootings the Administration would launch all-out attacks on our gun rights since the country would be more susceptible to change after a traumatic event. He made sure the Benghazi cover up was swept under the rug until he got re-elected. He will wait to attack certain issues until the 2014 Congressional elections so he’ll know how many liberals are by his side.
Obama believes now is the best time to sign the UN Gun Treaty since Congress is out of Washington. He will have less scrutiny to worry about if Congress is not nearby. He also thinks the public eye is not paying attention too closely. It is the slow summer months, people are on vacation, Congress is out of Washington so nothing must be happening.
Obama may think he is being sneaky but we will make sure the public knows what he is up to and so will all 100 U.S. Senators. By sending faxes to each Senator’s home office, they will realize how important this issue is to the American people. If we are reaching out to them while they are on vacation they will know they must take action. We must flood the home offices with faxes from Patriots across the country demanding our U.S. Senate does not ratify this international gun grab!
Gun advocates are wary of the language in the treaty including the fact that ‘small arms and light weapons’ are among the included weaponry that could be regulated by the United Nations. The UN Gun Treaty is a lot like ObamaCare; we will not know what it fully entails until it is implemented. It is impossible to trust the UN’s reassurance that this treaty will not affect our current gun laws or our Second Amendment. After all, the UN Arms Trade Treaty had previously been rumored as a replacement of the Second Amendment.
The Obama Administration seems to be thrilled with the thought of global gun control. John Kerry cannot wait for it to be signed:
“As your review of the treaty continues, we strongly encourage your administration to recognize its textual, inherent and procedural flaws, to uphold our country’s constitutional protections of civilian firearms ownership, and to defend the sovereignty of the United States, and thus to decide not to sign this treaty.”
We must make it clear TODAY to the Senate and the White House that the Second Amendment must be protected and that they must reject any and all U.N. Gun Control. Tell them to KEEP THEIR TREATY AWAY FROM OUR GUNS!
All of the evidence suggested Trayvon threw the first punch, Trayvon was on top, Trayvon was unloading significant damage onto Zimmerman, and Zimmerman used deadly force to defend himself. No matter what the facts are, the anti-gunners continue to push their agenda to try to get what they want.
It is our job as Americans and Second Amendment Patriots to meet the anti-gun crowd head on. We will fight any legislation that tries to destroy our self-defense laws or our Second Amendment rights. We need your help in order to launch a significant attack against the anti-gun agenda. They use smoke, mirrors, and lies to push their agenda while we show the facts. So many resources are needed in order to be successful against the anti-gun crowd. Anything you can give us will be substantial in maintaining our goal of protecting America’s Second Amendment!
The uncertainty begins in the discussion of small arms. Where will the regulations on our small arms start, and where will they stop? They are even trying to include ammunition regulations in the Arms Trade Treaty! Will the United Nations try to impose international licensing requirements, an international registry, or international?
The last negotiations for an Arms Trade Treaty took place in July 2012, just four months before the Presidential election. Obama did not want to take a big stance for global gun control just months before his re-election but now he has made it clear he is for total gun control. He also told voters he would not be re-visiting negotiations for an Arms Trade treaty but here we are.
Since his re-election it has become clearer than ever what is at the top of his agenda; taking our guns away! The Obama Administration has been exploiting tragedies since the election to push gun control at the city, state, federal, and now GLOBAL level.
Our Senate took a stance before the Presidential election when 51 of them wrote Obama a letter saying they would not support an Arms Trade Treaty. We must let our entire U.S. Senate know we do not support international gun control. They must not ratify this international treaty.
Sincerely Yours, Alan M. Gottlieb Chairman Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms

Obama is protected by a pretty paltry Praetorian Guard of extremists: Pelosi, Reid, Schumer, Holder, Rangel, Jackson-Lee, and his sycophants in the media. But in the real world, his support from even his own drones would evaporate quickly if he not only signed an illegal treaty but then tried to use government apparatus to enforce it.
Or maybe I retain just enough idealism to believe that.
If he signs this thing, by that act, he is directly going against the oath of office he’s taken not once, but twice.
While not the definition of treason, such an act is most surely a dereliction of duty on Obama’s part. Like many have said, such an act is most definitely an impeachable offense.
But, that said, we know from recent history that the Democrats would pull out all stops to protect their Dear Leader™, so any attempt at impeachment would most likely not succeed.
Or maybe I retain just enough idealism to believe that.
I admire your degree of idealism. However the layers of globalist support up front AND behind the scenes are not about to jeopardize the Final Stage of America's Death Spiral. Creating Chaos & Anarchy in America and Diving & Conquering have been the goal of the Globalist Puppet and his Masters. That "apparatus " is indeed prepared for imminent use.
BO just does what Jarrett and Axlegrease and Soros tell him to do. I am convinced that he doesn’t think about or worry about anything that goes on in he world. After that lame speech about Egypt the other day, I am totally convinced that they just put paper in front of him and tell him it won’t take but a minute, but just go on TV and read this for us and you can get right back to your sports, vacation and lobster. He delivers for them and gets to live the high life as a trade off.
Thomas Jefferson, undoubtedly based on his experience as Vice President and President of Senate, had officially clarified the following about federal government power to negotiate treaties. Jefferson had indicated that the feds cannot use their power to negotiate treaties as a back door to force US citizens to comply with foreign laws based on powers which the states have never delegated to Congress via the Constitution.
"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.
In fact, the Supreme Court reflected on Jefferson's words when it clarified the limits of the federal government's power to negotiate treaties in Reid v. Covert.
"The obvious and decisive answer to this, of course, is that no agreement with a foreign nation can confer power on the Congress, or on any other branch of Government, which is free from the restraints of the Constitution." --Reid v. Covert, 1957.
So just like many of Obama's constitutionally meaningless executive orders, "King" Obama seems to be looking for ways to exercise constitutionally nonexistent Oval Office powers in order to impress the low-information voters who support him.
To our useless, worthless, sniveling, elititist, exempted-themselves-from-obamacare so called representatives -
Do you have any idea what this is ultimately going to lead to?
Do you want to be remembered in history as the people who stood by and did nothing while Marxists dismantled the Constitution, and enslaved the American people to the State?
Not to mention you will also be responsible for all who are going to be killed in the inevitable war that will arise from this.
Is that what you want?-you bunch of overpaid, pampered cowards!
You could at least TRY and save this country.
You could stand up for it.
You could educate people about the Constitution. (assuming you know what the Constitution is.)
You could sound the alarm about HOW MUCH WE HAVE TO LOSE, if we let the Constitution go.
Ask people: What do we have, if we don't have the Constitution?
If we are not all created equal by our creator with certain inalienable rights, then what are we?
And WHO decides what we are, and what rights we have?
(Are we cogs in the STATE machine-and has anyone informed the people of what their lives will be like, if they let this happen? There are plenty of examples i.e. former Soviet Union, Cuba, North Korea)
What does it mean to not have freedom of speech?-
To not have freedom of religion, or freedom to assemble, or freedom from unreasonable searches, and on and on....bring these issues to the people.
You could stand up and refuse to sit down or shut up- no matter what it costs you.
Even if the left succeeds, and we collapse into equal poverty and misery, at least you would be on record as having warned the people.
But, no, all you care about is getting reelected and collecting your six figure paychecks, and exempting yourselves from what you vote to inflict on the people.
I don't blame the Marxists for what's happening to us, I BLAME YOU.
It is YOUR JOB to defend the Constitution.
Not only is it your job, but, you SWORE AN OATH to defend it.
(Rant: /Off)
I don’t share your pessimism. Although I do believe the time is fast approaching when the quislings like Mcain & Graham & Co. are going to have to choose a side. As will law enforcement and military personnel.
I don’t believe odumbo has ALL of them obamboozled.
You better concentrate on the military personnel because mccain, graham and law enforcement already picked a side, and it's not ours.
bttt
bumped :)
sfl
The sides haven’t been chosen yet. Nobody is herding Americans into cattle cars and shipping them off to the gulags. And while the gestapo is certainly zeroing in on who the troublemakers are, they haven’t started their midnight raids.
Yet.
When they do — and I believe the time is near — then the McCains and RINO turncoats will make it easy to tell whether they’re friend or foe. The same goes for LEOs. And I don’t believe the latter will move as a bloc. Some will side with us, some won’t.
You have way more faith in the cops than I. How many agents of the German government refused to heard Jews onto the rail cars? How many russian agents refused to herd the kulaks into the gulags? How many agents refused to go along with Ruby Ridge or Waco? I’m guessing the answer to those questions is somewhere around zero. Law enforcement has proven itself to be a dangerous animal that will follow whatever orders it’s given.
Once you have an idea of what went on in Soviet Russia (especially under Stalin), you understand the Second amendment. There isn't a better argument for it, then what is written here.
In the end, it will come down to individual citizens and their arms. And we might as well face the fact that we're outnumbered from the outset. All we can do is fight a guerilla war.
But the Minutemen fought the same kind of war, and for the same reasons.
You want to know the difference between today’s american cops and the russians and germans of decades past...? So do I. Last I checked they put their pants on one leg at a time every day. They all probably love their wives and children and waved to their neighbors when they left for work. You see, the important law here that has never been repealed is the law of human nature. You seem to believe it won’t apply to our boys in blue ( or black, that’s the color of the ski masks they wear on their late night raids). I’ll take the under on that wager.
But in the cross section of America, there are those in ALL walks of life who will refuse to be cowed, and who will stand up for what is right, not just what's convenient.
I hardly think your pessimism is worth celebrating, even if you're right. And in any case, resisting tyranny is not necessarily a means to an end as much as it is an end in itself.
I'm fairly sure I'm made of meat.
