This is the official UN site for the small arms treat which seeks to BYPASS the US Constitution. Remember there is another treaty which states that a treaty stands as if ratified until (and if) the senate ever approves or rejects it.

In this case only John Kerry need sign it on behalf of Obama and the second amendment goes by by. Spread the word.

Ammunition

Stockpiled ammunition can become unsafe if not properly stored. Unintended explosions of ammunition depots have affected over 60 countries worldwide, leading to thousands of casualties over the past 15 years. Moreover, when depots are not well managed, they can form an unremitting source for diversion of ammunition to armed groups and criminals, thus sustaining conflict and armed criminal activity.

Through UN SaferGuard, the UN works on making stockpiles safer and more secure.

Margaret Thatcher used to say that in regards to the idea of free speech there are two schools of thought on the matter, first there's the United States, and then there's the rest of the world.

We can build on that when it comes to firearms. First, there's the United States and Yemen, and then there's the rest of the world.

Guarantee Yemenies will give up their guns to the UN just about never ~ neither will we.

does not matter because it criminalizes “rights”.

ammunition storage becomes supervised.

UN rather than federal registration is just as sinister.

addendum:

they are viewing it as a means of internal opposition control.

an international AWB if you will.

Feinstein is looking to have the last laugh on the american people.

Maybe this is why Obama has Homeland Security, FEMA....even NASA buying billions of bullets and assault vehicles against Americans before he signs it.

A treaty that is not consistent with our Constitution is void under our domestic law. See Reid v. Covert.

Constitutional Limitations on the Treaty Power
Justia.com
http://law.justia.com/constitution/us/article-2/19-constitutional-limitations-on-treaty-power.html

Excerpt:
“As statutes may be held void because they contravene the Constitution, it should follow that treaties may be held void, the Constitution being superior to both. And indeed the Court has numerous times so stated.”

TREATIES DO NOT SUPERCEDE THE CONSTITUTION

Treaties

Curtis W. Caine, MD
Hacienda Publishing

[Excerpt:]
Thomas Jefferson was clear on this point: "If the treaty power is unlimited, then we don't have a Constitution. Surely the President and the Senate cannot do by treaty what the whole government is interdicted from doing in any way." Alexander Hamilton agreed: "a treaty cannot be made which alters the Constitution of the country or which infringes any express exceptions to the power of the Constitution of the United States."(2)

In spite of all of the obvious above, some people doggedly insist that "treaties supersede the Constitution" because they want treaties to supersede the Constitution so they can escape the chains of the Constitution! And they plan and scheme relentlessly toward achieving that end. Some even boast of having made an end run around the Constitution.

A more full citation for my earlier mention.

“This Court has regularly and uniformly recognized the supremacy of the Constitution over a treaty” (Reid v. Covert, October 1956, 354 U.S. 1, at pg 17).

See my six comments beginning with the following (comment #11) for quotes, citations, etc (especially Reid v Covert). As our Supreme Court has stated on quite a few occasions, treaties cannot supersede our Constitution.

Enemy action ping.

The Marxists of the world, seeing one of their own now the 'leader' of their greatest obstacle, are steamrolling ahead on their agenda to create a monopoly on force for themselves.

No one can be surprised at this.
