It may not come as surprising news to many of you that the United Nations doesn’t approve of our Second Amendment. Not one bit. And they very much hope to do something about it with help from some powerful American friends. Under the guise of a proposed global “Small Arms Treaty” premised to fight “terrorism”, “insurgency” and “international crime syndicates” you can be quite certain that an even more insidious threat is being targeted – our Constitutional right for law-abiding citizens to own and bear arms.
What, exactly, does the intended agreement entail?

If they want them, they’ll get the ammunition first. No law or treaty surpasses the Bill of Rights. I don’t need the SCOTUS to rule on that; I just need accurate windage. I’m old enough so dying fighting wouldn’t have that much of a negative impact on me.
“Come and get me, Copper!”
Obama and Hillary are just about orgasmic over this.
Theyare too stupid to real;ize that Americans are not going to give up their guns for the UN.
First the Senate has to approve it.
I don’t see that happening , and if it does I see the SHTF.
Ditto. I will not surrender my firearms without a fight.
Insurgency is the big one here. The goal is to thwart the resistance to oppressive governments, and those which intend to become such. Clearing the way for progressivism to make drones of most, for the benefit of a few.
Should things go in an ugly direction, most of us will be the insurgents, the resistance; some with weapons and others by means of sabotage and disinformation.
Treason in this country is quickly reaching critical mass.
If one of those blue helmet shows at my door, make sure a body bag comes with him.
The senate is loaded with RATs and RINOs...
Everyone who thinks nobama and the Hildabeaste can get 67 Senators to vote for this, raise your hand. Uh-huh.
Can you still see the front sight friend?
“....the United Nations doesn’t approve of our Second Amendment.”
.
It only shows how LOW we have sunk as a nation, that we let a beggar organization like the UN tell us what to do in our own home.
Without our tax dollars, the UN would not exist.
There are a number of FReepers that mistakenly believe treaties are handled with care and all Senators know to vote on them. The Constitution requires only a majority of “those present” to ratify a treaty, and as you point out, many treaties are ratified underhandedly.
“can get 67 Senators to vote for this”
Where do you get that 67 Senators must vote to ratify a treaty?

You have it all wrong — they WANT you to rise in rebellion and so start a civil war so that they can invite blue-helmeted troops in.
