ACTION: Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and Sen. Orrin Hatch may soon give the President authority to write gun control restrictions into a “trade agreement.” So click here to contact your Senators –- whether they are liberal or conservative. Urge them to vote against the anti-gun “fast track” bill (S. 995).
Will UN-style gun control be rammed down our throats?
Gun import bans ... Microstamping of firearms ... Ammunition bans ... The full implementation of the anti-gun UN Arms Trade Treaty ... Illegal amnesty which locks in millions of new, anti-gun voters.
This anti-gun wish list could be part of the secret trade agreement that President Obama is getting ready to spring on the Congress.
This trade pact is called “fast track,” and what it means is that Obama can write any form of gun control he chooses into a trade agreement -- import bans, amnesty, etc.
And this agreement DOESN’T need two-thirds vote in the Senate, as a treaty would. When completed, the agreement is merely subject to a majority vote in both Houses ... it can't be filibustered ... it can't be amended ... and the GOP can't refuse to consider it. Top Secret TPP means you won’t know what’s in the bill
Reports have already surfaced that the TOP SECRET draft contains a whole chapter with a European Union-style provision allowing unlimited migration from Mexico into the United States. This would fulfill Obama’s dream -- which he begun with Executive Amnesty -- to import millions of new anti-gun (liberal) voters into the country.
Of course, we can't quote for you any of the language in the Trans-Pacific Partnership agreement because the document is TOP SECRET. Obama won't reveal it, even to most congressmen, until Congress has given it its imprimatur by allowing it to pass under fast track procedures.
On Monday, Politico reported:
If you want to hear the details of the Trans-Pacific Partnership trade deal the Obama administration is hoping to pass, you’ve got to be a member of Congress, and you’ve got to go to classified briefings and leave your staff and cellphone at the door.
If you’re a [congressional] member who wants to read the text, you’ve got to go to a room in the basement of the Capitol Visitor Center and be handed it one section at a time, watched over as you read, and forced to hand over any notes you make before leaving.
And no matter what, you can’t discuss the details of what you’ve read.
Truly, even more than with ObamaCare, this is a case of "You have to pass it to find out what's in it." Some Republicans are being duped
But that's not all: The fast track authority being granted to Obama and his successor for the next six years applies to whatever type of trade negotiation Obama chooses to enter into.
So, if he can write the UN Arms Trade Treaty into a trade agreement, then it can't be filibustered or amended or prevented from consideration.
Tragically, many conservative Republicans have listened to business lobbyists -- who are focused on the free trade issues without considering the impact on personal liberties -- and have endorsed fast track. But one business leader recently took Republican lawmakers to the woodshed for this:
By now Congressional Republicans should know better. The Obama administration has stonewalled Congress on many issues, e.g., guns to Mexico and the IRS scandal, and this President has ignored the law and by-passed Congress on such matters as executive amnesty and the Bergdahl prisoner exchange. [The] alleged economic benefits of TPP -- and they are minimal ... -- do not trump the Constitution, the law, and the proper use of fast track.
It is significant that, in Sen. Orrin Hatch's 114-page bill specifying the goals of U.S. trade negotiations (S. 995), there is not a single word prohibiting Obama from using the agreements to implement gun control. And yet, that gun control will be just as binding as if Congress enacted it in a statute.
You can read an article written by GOA’s Legislative Counsel, which goes into this issue in much more detail.
You can also go here to read the full article written by the business leader (mentioned above) explaining why fast track is NOT really about free trade.
ACTION: Contact your Senators -- no matter whether they are conservative or liberal. Urge them to vote against the anti-gun fast track bill (S. 995).
NOTE: Separate letters are used for Republicans and Democrats. But by using GOA’s pre-written letter in the Engage system, the correct letter will be automatically sent.
This dude is the king. He seems to get whatever he wants.where the H is our representation? what good did it do to show up at the polls last November and express discontent?
We are in deep s***.
S A M:
Yep, on the conundrum.
When you give up before the fight is even joined.... yeah it's a waste of time.
You lose every single fight you don't fight. That is certain.
Doesn't matter if you see action based on your calls. At the very least, you have moved the conversation to the right. No-one expects you to fix it single-handedly.

Like George W. Bush said to a member of his cabinet who grumbled about the unconstitutionality of the Patriot Act, “It’s (the Constitution) just a G-damned piece of paper.”
Obama is carry on the tradition of wrecking the Constitution and the republic before the slow-moving legal system can even address the damage much less fix it. For 14 years, NSA et al. have been using the cover of the Patriot Act to illegally spy on innocent Americans and grab a constant record of everything they say and do before a federal court intervened, just today, and called out that provision of the Patriot Act illegal. Same case here.
“Like George W. Bush said to a member of his cabinet who grumbled about the unconstitutionality of the Patriot Act, “It’s (the Constitution) just a G-damned piece of paper.”
Uhm...that’s been debunked...no credible source for that has ever turned up.

The TPP and Fast Track Authority Barry wants so damn bad is the very worst thing to hit us since NDAA and the Patriot Act. I hope to heck the TPP is stopped.
Excuse me, but I strongly doubt George W. Bush ever uttered such words.
Have you any proof of your assertion?
The real bastards are the Republicans. We gave these traitorous quislings control and all they do is grease the rails on the track to hell.
Checks and balances my @$$! The entire federal government is culpable in this treason.
Oh yes.
The GOP is definitely included in my description.
I really cannot be more sickened by them at this point.
We have really got to stop thinking that one half of the government is somehow on our side.
None of the government is on our side.
They are all rat bastards.
They wre spying on them before that.
THere have been reciprocity agreements btwn other countries for data/phone feeds way before that. FBI could already spy domestically.
The soap box and the ballot box have failed. You know which boxes follow - the cartridge box and the pine box.
Yes. But I think that is exactly what they are waiting for, and hoping for, and planning for.
These are vile rats.
What's your source?
My source was in my post that you just replied to.
^ This + 1 Anarco-Tyrany.
But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.
It’s a Trade Deal alright.
There is only one way to stop them.
I think you know what it is.
Even if you don’t want to admit it to yourself.
I definitely know what it is. Problem is so do they.
We scooped Drudge and Infowars with this report. They picked the story up today May 8.
