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.
Jerk alert! Lurch tries to strike again.
Where is the Republican outcry?
haahhahahahahahahahhahahahahhahahahahhahahahhahahahaha
Some days I regret that we gave up the practice of gibbeting.
In Revelation God’s terrifying judgments are met with a corresponding REFUSAL to repent. C.S. Lewis quipped that “The damned are, in one sense, successful, rebels to the end...”
Some facet of this can be seen in these sad men and women in office who have clawed their way to the top, piling up offenses and with each refusal to turn being given over to a reprobate mind that CANNOT turn.
In Obama’s government each King has their own little fiefdom and can do whatever they want.
Brags about his “SERVICE” in Vietnam, but constantly open his mouth long enough to spit on the Constitution he took that oath to “Protect and Defend”.
Correct-—RIGHT hand held upright and LEFT hand behind back with fingers crossed.
And this POS was the Democrat candidate for the Presidency.
You can guess who I thank that he didn’t make it.
Actually, it does mean something, because the Vienna Convention allows the admin to implement the treaty's provisions until the Senate actively rejects it. I have no idea why we were dumb enough to sign and ratify the Vienna Convention.
Remember, Kerry could have been President.
If we had not gutted down and voted for W.
W was not perfect, Trump is not perfect, but both are much better than Hillary and her man boy Kerry.
Thank you.
And the UN will determine what the legitimate purposes are!? John EFFEN Kerry you are a villainous traitor to our US Constitution!

when the US government governs against the will of the people per the law of the land, then it is the duty of the people to....................................
Don't care. We aren't going to obey it anyway.
Well thank God we have enough Robin hoods to fight these kings.
It’s a stupid blog post stolen from a 2013 Fox News story:
John has a long moustache.
Even if they did, meh......bring it!
Now the State Department legislates.
This is what happens when the legislative branch is too cowardly to do its job.
The bigger question needs to be how much more will we endure before saying enough?
No, you are wrong. It does NOT have meaning except to foreigners. The Vienna convention only means those other nations view it as a treaty based on an administration signature alone. But the opinions of other nations never supersede the Constitutional requirements we have here in America.
But there is Zero, Zip, Nada legal ability of a president to implement a treaty unless the Senate approves it. There is absolutely no constitutional mechanism that it is legal until the Senate rejects it. The precise opposite is true. It is not binding on the US people until the Senate approves it.
Also, there is no requirement the Senate even vote on it.
The Vienna treaty did not override the Constitution.
