The United Nations And Its Cohorts Want Your Guns

If they're serious about such nonsense, then perhaps they should first disarm Kofi Annan's security detail. Those chumps were recently busted in New York for carrying illegal assault weapons.

Funny how the Left gave them a pass on that, eh?

A Danger in our own backyard.
I'm willing to bet this guy's in on the ideas espoused by the UN too:

Schumer fed up with gun-running

The Associated Press

New York- New York ranks first in the nation for crimes committed with out-of-state-guns, many of them arriving on a road dubbed "the firearm freeway," according to a study released yesterday.
"We have to contend with guns that come from states- often southern states- where the least possible effort is made to keep weapons out of the hands of criminals," said Sen. Charles Schumer, D-NY.
The study, released by the senator's office, is based on data from the Department of Justice's Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms.
Schumer said he will propose new legislation this week that would double sentences for interstate gun traffickers by prosecuting them under federal Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations laws.
Under this legislation, the maximum prison term for anyone convicted of gun running would double from 10 years to 20 years for each offense.
"Gun runners use our highways like firearm freeways to traffic illegal guns to criminals." said Schumer.
The number of guns that came from the South - and were then used to commit crimes in New York - more than doubled from 1999 to 2001, the last year for which data on out-of-state-guns is available, the study said.
In 2001, 3,662 New York crimes were committed with guns purchased in another state. Of those crimes, 1,971 involved weapons from Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina and Virginia.


Interestingly enough, this was in The Times Herald Record's Sunday paper on page 19, yet in their archives it doesn't show.
And the Assoc Press doesn't have it on their site anywhere either.
Did a websearch and came up dry.

I'd like to give the UN and its cohorts my bullets first.

The United Nations wants to take your guns

They can "want" to take my firearms all they like. The minute they TRY to take my arms... on that day they find out exactly how good a shot I really am.

No more laws. No more restrictions. No more freakin' weird ass tax schemes to limit ownership and availability. If Bush re-signs the AWB, then he should move his residence back to Crawford as he sure as hell would finally have proved that he doesn't belong in the White House.

Period.

Come and try, Kofi. I can pick off your security detail from a longer range than their H-K's or whatever they're carrying.

Well, I can hardly wait to share my ammunition with them.

That's for posting the poster. Just downloaded it, saved it, printed it, and hung it up in my cube. Won't convince the libs I work with but it will irritate them to no end, which is a lot of fun.

[Maximum Leader]

This treaty would never pass the senate by a 2/3rds vote. Nor would it pass both house by a majority vote (for an executive agreement).

Even if it did, the Supreme Court has been clear that a treaty does not override the Constitution.

"This [Supreme] Court has regularly and uniformly recognized the supremacy of the Constitution over a treaty." - Reid v. Covert, October 1956, 354 U.S. 1, at pg 17.

So even if it passed, the 2nd Amendment would still govern. The bigger question is whether the courts will acknowlege that the 2nd Amendment applies to the states as well as the federal government. The US Supreme Court has never ruled on this issue.

Having said that, it only takes 5 justices to "amend" the constitution.

In the 50's, GOP Senator John Bricker proposed an amendment to spell out that treaties cannot override the Constitution. Ike lobbied against it, and the amendment failed in the Senate by one vote. I would feel much more confident if the Bricker Amendment was enacted.

The Bricker Amendment read:

"Section 1. A provision of a treaty or other international agreement which conflicts with this Constitution, or which is not made in pursuance thereof, shall not be the supreme law of the land nor be of any force or effect."

"Section 2. A provision of a treaty or other international agreement shall become effective as internal law in the United States only through legislation valid in the absence of international agreement.

"Section 3. On the question of advising and consenting to the ratification of a treaty, the vote shall be determined by yeas and nays, and the names of the persons voting for and against shall be entered on the Journal of the Senate."

It was a cold, rainy December night here in the Pacific Northwest, two months after the EU and the UN declared the US in violation of their new small arms treaties. Using positions in Canada and Mexico (who both signed and ratified the treaties), UN forces have begun infiltrating the US in preparations for an assault.

I'm sitting on my deck with the lights off, watching the field in front of my house with my AN/PVS-7s. It's getting late - about 3:00 AM - and I get a chill even though I'm wearing full GoreTex raingear. About to give up for the night, I turn for the house door when off in the distance the first IR trip flare is set off. The adrenaline rush causes me to nearly stumble while reaching for my weapons. Laughing under my breath like a lunatic, I run accross the field and cross the bridge to the treeline and get into my overwatch position. In position now, I check my watch - they should hit the second perimeter wire any minute.

Right on time, the patrol sets off the second row of flares. Hmmmmmm, must be a large squad or bigger I think to myself. Quickly, I attach the clackers to the wires of the Claymores and test all of the circuits. All good. The adrenaline is now making me almost shake with anticipation. A scan with the PVS-7s tells me that this patrol is not too bright. Rather than stay in the woodline, they've opted to cross the open field in front of the house, evidently assuming that I can't see them at night. Suckers. They even stay in a gaggle, and now I can even hear them talking. Not English - sounds French. Even better.

They lumber along, now only 25 meters from their deaths. It's getting difficult to keep my laughter from breaking into the open - like telling a really good joke as a pallbearer. I stay still - set the rifle to my FPL and flip the safety to "Auto". It's showtime. One of the troops lights a smoke. Dumbass. Too bad he won't enjoy it.

I reach down, and initiate the five Claymores. Damn. Two left standing, but two short bursts later they are down as well. Time for double tapping. Slowly I move to their position, and thankfully only four of the twelve are still barely alive. No point in wasting the ammo, so the bayonnet will finish the Frogs. All in all, a good haul for the night. They all had full combat load of ammo - at least that will keep my .223 in use. Their weapons will be distributed. Biggest score is their radio - with attached cypher. Time to get to the house and notify the rest of the area, plus get the tractor out to bury this trash. Another night in the US Militia.

It was a dark and stormy night...

John Ross would be proud.
