Oh. Right—nothing to see here. Except that we have a Secretary of State who is in apparent support of such a treaty. And that we don’t know what that treaty says, and probably won’t until it’s on the table for signatures. Perhaps it’s like the recent health care debacle, of which Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi said “we have to pass the bill so that you can find out what is in it”. Wouldn’t that be nice? I just love surprises. There’s also that trifling little bit about guerrilla movements and insurgents and such.
You don’t think they’re talking about Patriots Clubs or Tea Party organizations, do you?
The Second Amendment to our United States Constitution is under international attack...and Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton fully support this takeover of our freedoms!
The United States has endorsed a United Nations Small Arms Treaty that threatens the rights of American citizens to own firearms:
It would enact tougher licensing requirements, which means more red tape for law-abiding Americans
It would allow the government to confiscate and destroy all "unauthorized" civilian firearms
It would ban the trade, sale and private ownership of all semi-automatic weapons
It would create an international gun registry, giving Obama and his administration the ability to end private ownership completely
Former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations John R. Bolton says the United Nations "is trying to act as though this is really just a treaty about international arms trade between nation states, but there is no doubt that the real agenda here is domestic firearms control."
Larry Bell of Forbes magazine says the treaty targets "our Constitutional right for law-abiding citizens to own and bear arms."
And Bolton warns, "After the treaty is approved and it comes into force, you will find out that it has this implication or that implication and it requires the Congress to adopt some measure that restricts ownership of firearms."
The Treaty would be administered by a United Nations agency called the "Implementation Support Unit." Every country would be required to submit a report to the ISU outlining "all activities undertaken in order to accomplish the implementation of this Treaty, including... domestic laws, regulations and administrative measures."
