u.n. small arms treaty...

Yesterday I posted a story from Forbes about the u.n. small arms treaty.
http://hellonearth-1.blogspot.com/2011/06/un-agreement-should-have-all-gun-owners.html

Basically it will allow the u.n. to enforce some international gun control laws. On it's surface it is supposed to keep small arms out of the hands of terrorists. But underneath it is a way for hillary clinton, obama and the u.n. to force gun control on law abiding American citizens. Possibly even resulting in seizure of firearms.

This scares the hell out of gun owners, as it should. But it should also scare the hell out of EVERY American for several reasons.

First, it is a direct violation of our sovereignty. When we start allowing the u.n. to enter our Country as law enforcement agents, we are done. There will be no more United States.

Second, our Second Amendment right guarantees all of the others. Without our right to keep and bear arms, we have no way to ensure the government or some other entity, like the u.n., doesn't take those away as well.

Even if you hate guns, keep in mind that the fact that there are gun owners in this Country and they are willing to protect YOUR rights as well as their own. Without the gun owners in this Country, we might live in a very different place. If you want to think that guns don't keep you safe, that's fine. But there are lots of historical examples that tell a different story. There are examples of weapon seizures in foreign countries that were followed very closely by mass murders and genocide by the very government that seized the firearms.

In 1929, the Soviet Union established gun control. From 1929 to 1953, about 20 million dissidents, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.

In 1911, Turkey established gun control. From 1915 to 1917, 1.5 million Armenians, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.

Germany established gun control in 1938 and from 1939 to 1945, a total of 13 million Jews and other minorities who were unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.

China established gun control in 1935. From 1948 to 1952, 20 million political dissidents, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.

Guatemala established gun control in 1964. From 1964 to 1981, 100,000 Mayan Indians, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.

Uganda established gun control in 1970. From 1970 to 1979, 300,000 Christians, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.

Cambodia established gun control in 1956. From 1975 to 1977, one million 'educated' people, unable to defend themselves were rounded up and exterminated.

 

Maybe you think something like that can't or won't happen here. Is that a chance you are willing to take? Look into the eyes of your children when you ask yourself that question.

U.N. Agreement Should Have All Gun Owners Up In Arms

It's one thing when you get lame emails talking about this stuff, it's another when Forbes is on it. This is getting all too serious very fast. If hillary clinton is able to get this past congress we are screwed. We will no longer be the United States of America. We will be just another in a random bunch of nations. If we quietly give up our Constitutional Rights we open ourselves up to rule by the u.n.

We are a sovereign Nation. We hold allegiance to no foreign nation or body. Passing this will violate all that our Nation has stood for for the last 235 years.

How would you like to have u.n. police thugs cruising the streets of your city? Enforcing international gun control laws? Seizing your firearms? No? You better get on the horn with your congress critters. I'll be on the phone and email and facebook and twitter and even snailmail with mine...

By Larry Bell - Forbes

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?

While the terms have yet to be made public, if passed by the U.N. and ratified by our Senate, it will almost certainly force the U.S. to:

1.Enact tougher licensing requirements, creating additional bureaucratic red tape for legal firearms ownership.

2.Confiscate and destroy all “unauthorized” civilian firearms (exempting those owned by our government of course).

3.Ban the trade, sale and private ownership of all semi-automatic weapons (any that have magazines even though they still operate in the same one trigger pull – one single “bang” manner as revolvers, a simple fact the ant-gun media never seem to grasp).

4.Create an international gun registry, clearly setting the stage for full-scale gun confiscation.

5.In short, overriding our national sovereignty, and in the process, providing license for the federal government to assert preemptive powers over state regulatory powers guaranteed by the Tenth Amendment in addition to our Second Amendment rights.

 

Have no doubt that this plan is very real, with strong Obama administration support. In January 2010 the U.S. joined 152 other countries in endorsing a U.N. Arms Treaty Resolution that will establish a 2012 conference to draft a blueprint for enactment. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has pledged to push for Senate ratification.

Former U.N. ambassador John Bolton has cautioned gun owners to take this initiative seriously, stating that the U.N. “is trying to act as though this is really just a treaty about international arms trade between nation states, but there is no doubt that the real agenda here is domestic firearms control.”
