UN Arms Treaty Could Put U.S. Gun Owners in Foreign Sights, say Critics

UNITED NATIONS – A treaty being hammered out this month at the United Nations -- with Iran playing a key role -- could expose the records of America's gun owners to foreign governments -- and, critics warn, eventually put the Second Amendment on global trial.

International talks in New York are going on throughout July on the final wording of the so-called Arms Trade Treaty, which supporters such as Amnesty International USA say would rein in unregulated weapons that kill an estimated 1,500 people daily around the world. But critics, including the National Rifle Association’s Wayne LaPierre, warn the treaty would mark a major step toward the eventual erosion of the U.S. Constitution’s Second Amendment gun-ownership rights.

Americans “just don’t want the UN to be acting as a global nanny with a global permission slip stating whether they can own a gun or not,” LaPierre said. “It cheapens our rights as American citizens, and weakens our sovereignty,” he warned in an exclusive interview with FoxNews.com

Obama and the Democrats have trashed the Constitution. During Clinton’s term they learned they could ban “assault weapons” with little consequence. They know the vast majority of trash talk about any consequences of banning or severely restricting guns is hot air.

I mean, if penalizing us for doing nothing via the ObamaTax and the complete takeover of health care, the Kelo eminent domain ruling granting sale authority of private lands for government profit, the 16th amendment granting the government the right to take 100% of our incomes, the original firearms ban of 1994, the various gun control acts through the years, the TSA strip searching our wives and daughters, and the fact that gun bans worked all over the planet including the once proud United Kingdom, they’re willing to go for it here.

The Marxists have made great inroads into getting their way. There is only one last little step and that is disarming us standing in their way to total domination. Since they now have the militaries of the world in their loyalty they are feeling rather powerful right now. Their arrogance and stupidity knows no bounds.

If anyone doesn’t see this fight coming, tough sh*t.
