The UN as a whole is a threat to our liberties.
got it
he has allowed interpol to come here
he now signs this UN treaty
thus we are now to be allowed to be arrested by interpol for having a gun.
I would love to see them try that as well but saying that we never know what is going on with this man in the white house because half the time he seems to be back on drugs
again
I propose that gun owners in the US will not comply with anything UN and will in effect tell them to go pound sand. I DONT really see the UN coming door to door to pick up guns. Those blue hats make outstanding targets.
A Treaty does not override the Constitution, If they go along with this it would be considered TREASON under our Constitution.Not to mention it would absolutely be the Flash Point for another American Revolution.
It is. The likely effects would be no more “surplus” firearms or parts from other countries, no more “surplus” ammo, logging of who buys domestic guns and ammo, and higher prices all around for what is left. And that’s for starters.
Wanna bet this anti-gun attitude won't extend to his hoped for "domestic force as strong as the armed forces?" Imagine an armed brown-shirt paramilitary domestic force recruited primarily from favored Dem consituency groups. All part of the plan to redistribute wealth and power.
The only security to all this is that treaties and such can be repealed.
There is already a good movement on that at www.repealit.org
Of course, a rogue Supreme Court could interpret the Constitution in any way it wishes, but there we would face an epic legal crisis inasmuch as the Constitution, the basis of U.S. law, has never given the Supreme Court the authority to interpret the Constitution, though precedent certainly has.
The thugocrats who run the United Nations are just itching to establish a world-wide thugocracy--with themselves in control of it, of course--and one of their top priorities is to disarm the people of the world so that they cannot protect themselves from the thugocratic government the thugs envision.
Extraordinary vigilance is necessary if the American people are to protect themselves from the thugs and their growing power. A dark side of the Information Age is its empowering of them far more than anyone could possibly have imagined.
The UN is making a wrong conclusion about the gun ownership as their opinion is based on other countries who are run by dictators run amuck and politically/socially.economically immature countries.
Its too bad their lack of logic does not address the fact that the US has had peace and security in its democracy because of guns. Its stability is a result of guns and as such has had a constitution that has held with peace for over 233 years!
Not a nation that the UN has visited can boast that!
Obama? Can go suck lemons!
The UN isnt going to set foot on this soil. They know that more than 200 million of us are heavily armed. It is like the Marine motto, Mess with the best and die like the rest.
Bambi can talk all he wants to with the UN, but he certainly doesnt have balls enough to enforce it.
I get a little tired of these “Treaty Threads” that do not offer factual acknowledgment that treaties have to be ratified by 2/3 of the Congress before they can take effect in the US.
This is why the US did not participate in Kyoto even though Rev. AlGore signed it. It is also the reason why the US did not participate in the League of Nations and had to negotiate a separate peace treaty with Germany after WWI.
I really don’t care what Obamao and company do with the UN Gun Ban treating. It will never be ratified.
“got it

If our constitution and laws do not APPLY to them then they are not PROTECTED by our constitution and laws!
He’s not anti-gun, he just wants to control who has them.
“They know that more than 200 million of us are heavily armed. It is like the Marine motto, Mess with the best and die like the rest.”
My thoughts exactly they will be slaughtered then mutilated and hung from lightpoles. The average American gun-owner who is a shooting enthusiast has more hours at the range and is very gun savvy. Read daily the stories how the armed citizen dispatches thugs every day. We are not afraid to use them if we have too.
I dont know where you are located, but here where I am, these guys are just itching for a reason to use them.
The glorious new unarmed world championed by the UN and Obama looks alarmingly similar to the blood-stained old world we just left, where police states in Germany, the Soviet Union, and China massacred hundreds of millions of their own citizens.
They are where I am too plus this sentiment is growing across the nation. Last night I went to pick up a magazine and drybox for my new Glock at one of the local gun stores about 1 hour before close. There were 12 people in the store. You should see the types of guns people are acquiring too. Americans mean business.
From the article: "The Heritage Foundation's assessment of the small arms treaty brings up a horrifying proposition that the theory of 'international norms' means the U.S. might be bound by the treaty even if we never sign on. Basically, once the small arms treaty is accepted by enough nations, the argument can be made that the provisions become accepted practice and binding on all nations. Based on that logic, America is hurt by the U.N. treaty whether we are a party to it or not. Such a vague and ill-defined set of circumstances is exactly the type of Trojan horse President Obama needs as cover to inflict his dream of an anti-gun utopia on America."
