stuartcr and dartuser, could you please kindly point us all to the line that recognizes my legitimate God-given right to carry a concealed or open carry firearm for self-defense against another person? Against an unlawful entry by a law enforcement officer??
Weapons included:h. Small Arms and Light Weapons
- 2. Each State Party Shall establish and Maintain a national control system to regulate the export of munitions to the extent necessary to ensure that national controls on the export of the conventional arms covered by Paragraph a1 (a)-(h) are not circumvented by the export of munitions for those conventional arms.
- 3. Each State Party shall establish and maintain a national control system to regulate the export of parts and components to the extent necessary to ensure that national controls on the export of the conventional arms covered by Paragraph A1 are not circumvented by the export of parts and components of those items.
- 4. Each State Party shall establish or update, as appropriate, and maintain a national control list that shall include the items that fall within Paragraph 1 above, as defined on a national basis, based on relevant UN instruments at a minimum. Each State Party shall publish its control list to the extent permitted by national law.
Perfect strategy. RESIST, RESIST, RESIST. We’re the freedom fighters, and we need to fight this enemy of the people in the White House, like freedom fighters in wars past have done.
RESIST, RESIST, RESIST BY ANY AND ALL MEANS.
There has never been a treaty invalidated by the courts despite the fact that some of the enforcement powers of treaties on the books wildly exceed the Constitutionally enumerated powers of the Federal government.
From the Pre-amble:
“14. Recognizing the legitimate international trade and lawful private ownership and use of conventional arms exclusively for, inter alia, recreational, cultural, historical and sporting activities for States where such ownership and use are permitted or protected by law;”
Note the word - ‘exclusively’.
This seems to be an enumerated list.
They seem to have left out ‘the Peoples defense of their Constitution’.
Hint: “self-defense” is not a “recreational, cultural, historical or sporting activity.”
Is anybody surprised at this?
I believe the “inter alia” covers you ...
It’s Pandora’s box, like the healthcare bill. who knows what it will really accomplish-nothing good for America though, we can be relatively certain of that. Democrats and the UN want to establish a registry of gun owners. It has been their wet dream for some time. A national registry, of course, is a necessary precursor for a national confiscation which would be a necessary precursor to an invasion. This treaty does seem to indicate that national registry would be required by member nations. We know who that primarily affects. There’s nothing good about this for America. It should definitely not be ratified.
Ping to #42 and then write your senators;
Worse, the government has held for forty years that it will abide by the terms of a treaty UPON A SIGNATURE ALONE, not including ratification. That would include the signature of ANY APPOINTED OFFICER of the President. In other words, Hillary.
If they want registration it should be this. All citizens have guns and ammo. End of discussion. Now pack your United Nations commie BS and get off our land and go back to whatever 3rd world country you came from.
In all seriousness, I can’t understand when every elected official in Washington won’t tell the UN to take a hike. But then again, we continue to elect the enemy.
In order for this to function, property rights will need to be stripped from
all Americans first, and I don't see this happening in my lifetime since
the constitution is designed to prevent this.
The Dems know that any attack on gun rights will doom them in the political arena.
Even the most crass Democrat talking heads are saying this and Obama has not said
one word about guns that I know of.
Also, how in the hell can one signiture, from one President void the Constitution?
Someone without UFO experience explain this to me because I am calling this bullshit.
Cop: “Not reporting a registered gun stolen is a felony- and you’re under arrest.”
Jest if you like, but this falls well outside the legitimate powers of government.
"I think my gun was stolen officer ... it was in my garage on my work bench and now its gone ... I guess I forgot to close the garage door last night."
>>If this is ratified and signed by Obama<<
Just as the Law Of The Sea Treaty went down in flames, so will this dog.
Our senate will never ratify this treaty. Doing so would be political suicide.
And so will the GOP.
This treaty is talking about restricting the export of weapons ...
I can still go get a weapon if I want to ...
I would be more concerned that the other posters point is valid ... this would make it harder to arm our allies in the world against their enemies.
“private ownership and use of conventional arms exclusively for, inter alia, recreational, cultural, historical and sporting activities...”
Well, that right there is the problem. The 2nd Amendment is not for recreational, cultural, historical, or sporting activities. It’s for defense against tyranny. There is nothing in this document protecting that basic individual right.
