U.N. messin' with guns
Senator John Barrasso (R-Wyo.) instructed United Nations Ambassador nominee, Susan Rice, to ensure she preserves the gun rights of United States citizens while serving as U.S. representative to the U.N. “As our nation’s top representative to the United Nations, the next United States U.N. Ambassador has an important responsibility to defend and protect our citizens’ second amendment rights from international gun control.” An “Arms Trade Treaty” that could threaten U.S. citizens’ right to keep and bear arms doesn’t recognize a county’s sovereignty has been introduced in the U.N. The treaty could impose restrictions on gun ownership and place strict registration requirements on law abiding U.S. citizens. “The U.N. should not be interfering with our second amendment rights,” Barrasso said. “The second amendment is not only right, it is a value and way of life we hold dear in Wyoming,” Barrasso is a life member of the National Rifle Association.
If we belong to an organization that wants us to not bear arms, we need to get the hell out of that organization.
All Hussein has to do is enter a treaty that restricts gun ownership, and it becomes the law of the land, trumping even the Constitution if the Senate ratifies it.
Sure thing. The blue helmets can come and get them.
UN out of the US.
US out of the UN.
‘All Hussein has to do is enter a treaty that restricts gun ownership, and it becomes the law of the land, trumping even the Constitution if the Senate ratifies it.’
Didn’t our senators take an oath to uphold the Constitution of the United States when they were sworn in?
Souvenir hunt!
I like that idea
NOTHING trumps the Constitution.
Let them try to enact this.
The way I see it, the u.n. is saying they want to increase the number of deaths of police and peacekeepers who attempt to enforce or politicians who dare to ratify any such anti-Constitutional treaty.
That’s the ONLY acceptable result of trying to disarm American citizens.
The UN can kiss my red, white and blue American A$$. They aren’t getting my guns. My uncles didn’t all die to keep this country free so some traitors in our government could sell us down the river!!
I’d like to see the U.N. try to come and take our guns away from us. The blue helmets on those child-raping thugs will make easy targets.
>If we belong to an organization that wants us to not bear arms, we need to get the hell out of that organization.
...or forcibly disband said organization by use of said guns. (Insert glares at Congress and our new executive branch.)
Time to get the US out of the UN and the UN out of the US.
If this administration, through its appointees, determines to abrogate the US Constitution in favor of UN treaties, then they should be prosecuted for treason.
I like the idea.
Everyone in the March would have to gather in Virginia. There could be one million armed citizens with loaded guns marching into the district. Everyone with one loaded rifle and one loaded handgun. There would be a minimum of 200 rounds per firearm.
It could turn into a weekend camping out on the mall. We could end it by marching through the highest crime district in DC and occupying it for 24 hours.

So did our troops. If such a thing happened [passing such a treaty], I would expect them to forcibly evict ALL complacent parties in Government: Executive, Legislative, and Judaical. (And I would expect them to have the full support of the people.)
