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.
The very day guns become illegal is the day I just happen to open a machine shop.
The same guy who gave Iran $150 billion?
Try him for Treason
Son of a- how many times in one lifetime can this pos be a traitor.
His signature means nothing without Senate ratification. He has no authority or power to implement a single word of it.
EFFING TRAITOR.
Note the following comment from a February, 1970, article in "The Crimson by Samuel Goldhaber, who interviewed Kerry as he was considering his very first campaign for public office:
"He supports a volunteer Army, 'if and only if we can create the controls for it. You're going to have to prepare for the possibility of a national emergency, however.' Kerry said that the United Nations should have control over most of our foreign military operations. 'I'm an internationalist. I'd like to see our troops dispersed through the world only at the directive of the United Nations.'"On other issues, Kerry wants 'to almost eliminate CIA activity. The CIA is fighting its own war in Laos and nobody seems to care.'"
This agreement is DOA. Cannot imagine Congress approving it and, besides, just how would they enforce it?
WFC? The dishonorable john f’n kohn-heinz-kerry don’t speak for me nor does the uslessnited nations control ANYTHING I do.
Kerry seems to be testing the limits...
With those UN trucks being delivered down our Highways that was all in the news the other day?-)
Wasn’t this the same turkey that was in Vietnam and threw someone elses medals away?
Lies. All lies.
Treaty? Senate?
Texit!
How in the name of sanity does John Kerry have any kind of federal job or appointment, unless the appointee is almost a traitor? That people elected to him to the Senate is also beyond belief. Google court martial and the name John Kerry. Everyone knew he’d committed traitorous acts.
It is believed by some or many that Kerry’s discharge from the military was not an honorable discharge. And this traitor is flying around the world pretending to act in the “best interests” of the United States of America? The media has had his back his whole adult life and in doing so helped get Kerry habilitated. The likes of the New York Time and NPR (National Public Radio) have destroyed the U.S. in concert with Kerry and the rest of that band of Marxist henchmen.
