UN Global Gun Control Treaty

[PestControl02]

I looked around and didn't see this posted, I think it may be very important though.
I'm encouraged that 45 senators have refused ratification, in a letter anyway.

I'd be interested to hear what others think..link below..

Obama Seeks US Congressional Ratification of UN Global Gun Control Treaty - BlackListedNews.com

Unfortunately, there has been an argument going on around the world for nearly two centuries of using disarmament as an approach to peace. The disarmament theorist's proposals would deprive nations of anything to fight with. Franklin Roosevelt was a proponent of "Fourth Freedom," in terms of a "world-wide reduction of armaments to such a point and in such a thorough fashion that no nation will be in a position to commit an act of physical aggression against any neighbor - anywhere in the world." A rather Utopian, but simple minded thought. Men will have weapons, even if they are nothing more than rocks and spears and no government will ever stop that. The fact that the US is even considering entering into the UN Gun Conntrol Treaty is indicative of the naivete' of our government and is an overt attempt to disarm the American society. Once that is accomplished, we will be slaves to the government. An unarmed society can not fight back against a corrupt government consequently, the answer is to confiscate all weapons, slingshots, hunting knives, pea shooters, nail files and all rocks over pebble size. That will keep the rabble down and under foot. With the rabble beaten down, what is left? An international police force or army to control the world? Who will dictate to the world? (to get Biblical, it sounds like an opening for the Anti-Christ to me). If our elected officials do vote for this treaty, it will be time to tuck our heads between our legs and kiss our rear ends goodbye. Oh, by the way, I just sold my guns so they don't need to knock on my door.

Until the UN can do their job of keeping peace through out the world, they can take their treaty and stuff it were the sun doesn't shine. An armed nation is a polite nation. Through out history those that have the weapons control those that don't. This will never change. Goes against human nature. The sooner all you bleeding heart bed wetting progressive liberal nut jobs get a grip on this the safer the world will be. In the mean time this red neck will continue clinging to my Bible and guns.

I'm not sure if people are aware that in the next 3 weeks (End of July or beginning of Auguest 2012), the UN is voting on a resolution that is getting VERY HIGH Political Support from the Obama administration on global gun control.
It is very wide sweeping and written in such a manner it would not take long for any Supreme Court Justice to support it and throw out any arguments against it.
However, if that happens you can kiss the 2nd amendment good bye - - tail wagging the dog?
I cannot understand why the UN is permitted to control the U.S.A. via it's resolutions on our rights.
Call, your President, Representatives and everyone else.... there may be a need for some kind of golobal gunresolution.
However, it should not be so broadly written to affect the U.S.A. constitution and law abiding citizens.

First off the US is not a member state of the UN. Second, The President and Sec. of State, can sign anything they want, it doesn't mean crap unless the House and Senate ratify the treaty aggreement. Best bet is to contact your representatives, and tell them to vote it down.

The US is a member of the UN since 1945 and only the senate needs to ratify this deal and if they do (a majority democrap) then then Obozo and Clintorous will sign and then we are screwed but on paper only. I know I won't surrender my firearms w/o a fight and I hope no one here or any firearm owner does for that matter. I might just go live in the woods if it happens. That could be THE SHTF scenario DHS is prepping for.....well, either that or economic collapse.

US is a founding member and a permanent member of the Security Council. Only 5 countries have the latter status and a veto by any of them is a total veto on SC matters.

Here is a good link to write to your representatives.
This makes it real easy to write to them all from one location.
Inform them to NOT approve the UN resolution on gun control.

I sent the following letters to my legislators in both the Michigan and US legislatures, just in case. I suggest that others do the same. Similar letters should be sent to UN Ambassador Susan Rice (fax - 212-415-4053, Opinion/Comment Line - 212-415-4062) and Sec. State Clinton (Phone: 202-663-1848, Fax: 202-663-3636). We need to absolutely flood their offices.

Senator/Congressman:

As you are no doubt aware, it appears that a vote on the UN Small Arms Treaty will take place by the end of this month. While it is my understanding that our envoy to the UN has insisted that the Second Amendment Rights of US citizens be honored and protected, there is tremendous pressure from anti-firearms groups around the world to override that protection and to include civilian firearms in the ban.

It is also my understanding that any such treaty would have to be ratified by Congress before it would be considered to be binding on the US, although I'm sure that some sort of "special circumstances" could be claimed to circumvent that.

As your constituent, I am asking you to memorialize our legislators in Congress NOT to support any treaty that does not FULLY PROTECT the Second Amendment rights contained in our Constitution. I am also asking that you begin developing legislation that would declare such a treaty null and void in [add the name of your state] in case Congress actually decides to ratify this treaty. There is no time to lose.

Sincerely,

As your constituent, I am asking that you NOT support any treaty that does not FULLY PROTECT the Second Amendment rights contained in our Constitution, and that Congress memorialize UN Ambassador Rice and Secretary of State Clinton to vigorously defend those rights, as they are sworn to do, and to withhold their signatures from any treaty infringing those rights. The Constitution of the United States is the final legal authority in our country, not UN treaties.

Sincerely,
