"Small Arms Treaty" NOT the biggest UN threat to gun owners

Those in a panic over the expected loss of 2nd Amendment rights should the UN Small Arms Treaty be adopted need to understand two very important facts:

1) the Treaty has no chance of garnering the 2/3rds vote necessary for senate approval; and

2) a real UN sponsored threat to gun rights in the US and globally does exist, going under the acronym of ISACS, “International Small Arms Control Standards.”

The UN has been actively working to disarm private individuals and a fair number of nations for thirty years. From its inception in 1982 to the current United Nations Office for Disarmament Affairs, the organization promotes not only nuclear disarmament, but also and perhaps most especially “disarmament efforts in the area of conventional weapons, especially land mines and small arms…” (1)

And 3 decades of effort have resulted in a program which hopes to impose international standards on virtually everything having to do with the types of weapons owned by some 130 million American citizens. For in its “Working Outline,” ISACS means to create and make mandatory:

1.) National controls over the manufacture of small arms and light weapons

2.) National controls over the end-user and end-use of internationally transferred small arms and light weapons

3.) National controls over the access of civilians to small arms and light weapons

4.) Stockpile management over both storage and DESTRUCTION of weapons and ammunition

5.) International legal cooperation...

I don’t think Gunney Ermey would approve of any of this.

Been there, done that:

"He [King George III] has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution, and unacknowledged by our laws; giving his assent to their acts of pretended legislation:

NY State Constitution 1777

We stopped King George`s army with our guns at Saratoga and Yorktown, as I recall.

What is not being debated is why the UN should have the right to interfere in our internal laws.

Where are you Republican presidential candidates? Why are you silent on the matter of the UN and its infringement on our sovereignty?

And you want me to vote for one of you? Get real.

1) the Treaty has no chance of garnering the 2/3rds vote necessary for senate approval;

We'll see how that goes when early signers like Indonesia use their recent sales contracts as arm twisting on the jelly spined ones in the Senate...
