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.
Overpasses For America is a grassroots organization with tens of thousands of volunteer patriots who choose to stand for their nation without an ounce in pay.
Meaningless Kerry is a fool and can not approve treaty’s he can sing it with his diarrhea it will still be meaningless.
It doesn’t mean jack until it is ratified by the Senate. Old Horseface is just trying to impress the ladies by making them think he’s important. America is still a sovereign nation. The buffoons down at the UN have no control over my rights. If they think that they do, it might be time for all of us to exercise our Second Amendment rights. The UN needs to keep their commie, baby-raping asses in third world countries. WE Americans will run our own country.
Ya , it’s not worth the paper and ink used ,but Obama will Enforce this one with all the UN soldiers he can bring from Africa
Only the POTUS can sign a treaty and the treaty is not binding until the Senate ratifies it.
Kerry’s signature is meaningless.
These farkers are just not listening,...
How did that gun control thing work out for HRH George III
at Lexington, and on the road back to Concord, and finally at Yorktown?
“...all the UN soldiers he can bring from Africa...”
Targets of opportunity.
“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.”
“urged”?
Is that all!!!??? More like, you WILL NOT take any action to implement the treaty!!!!
The idiot. Seems like he is green lighting Obama to take action to implement.
Where is the Republican outcry?
Pppphhhhtttt yeah right, this senate will not ratify such a treaty.
I am confused about something; I was under the impression that only the president could sign treaties.
And by stealth the Obama regime will end
Our message to the U.N.:
De-Fund
Denounce
Deport
Disarm
Disband
Kerry is part of the enemy camp.
Didn’t this happen back in 2013? Why this article now?
If they were, that means that the majority of people think like Kerry and Obama, and our Nation is lost; the people have chosen tyranny; our only options therefore are civil war, or secession, or restarting a new country elsewhere.
If they were not, we are being forced into tyranny, and we would be just and right to take it back by any means necessary.
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.--Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States.
I like that. New Tag Line!
I will say it again and again. Kerry, the Viet Nam Traitor, (Yes, I was there 1970-1971. In addition, NO TREATY SIGNED BY ANY PERSON IN ANY ADMINISTRATION CAN BECOME LEGAL WITHOUT THE CONSENT OF CONGRESS. Kerry I realize that this is way above your brain level. Just because you kiss Obama rear end doesn’t mean you can take away the rights of the Law-Abiding American Citizen. So Kerry the only thing you can do is GO TO HELL TRAITOR!!!!!
