Obama to Let the UN in Through the Backdoor to Take Your Guns

Rand Paul Takes on Proposed UN Small Arms

February 16, 2011

New American - Kentucky’s newly elected Senator Rand Paul has pleased conservatives with his calls for fiscal and constitutional conservatism, ranging from abolishing the Department of Education and all foreign aid to proposing substantial cuts to the federal budget. Now Paul has joined the crusade to end Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s efforts to work with the United Nations to pass a new “Small Arms Treaty.” In an email to his supporters, Paul explains,

“Disguised as an ‘International Arms Control Treaty’ to fight against ‘terrorism,’ ‘insurgency’ and ‘international crime syndicates,’ the UN’s Small Arms Treaty is in fact a massive, global gun control scheme.”

According to Paul, if ratified, the UN “Small Arms Treaty” would force the United States to enact stricter licensing requirements, confiscate and destroy “unauthorized” firearms, ban the trade, sale, and private ownership of all semi-automatic weapons, and create an international gun registry.

Critics of the treaty contend it is but one in a number of steps taken by the United Nations to bring the United States “to its knees.” As long as America continues to secure the liberties of its citizens, it stands in the way of the movement toward a one-world government.

The National Association for Gun Rights has been leading the fight against the global gun ban treaty. According to the NAGR, the best way to defeat the treaty is through the Senate ratification process, as President Obama would likely support the treaty. As 67 Senate votes are required to ratify the treaty, Americans are relying on a pro-gun majority in the Senate to defeat ratification, something that is not present at the moment.

Those opposed to the treaty are encouraged to sign an Official Firearms Sovereignty Survey, wherein Americans can indicate their support for the Constitution and the Second Amendment, as well their opposition to United Nations involvement in America’s gun laws.

Obama to Let the UN in Through the Backdoor to Take Your Guns

Mountain Home News - Yes, you read that right. Obama and Hilary Clinton are both trying to join forces with the UN in order to pass the UN Small Arms Treaty. This Treaty will be used to de-arm America in the name of national security against terrorism.

In a letter by Rand Paul:

"Disguised as legislation to help in the fight against terrorism, insurgency and international crime syndicates, the U.N.Small Arms Treaty is nothing more than a massive, GLOBAL gun control scheme.

If passed by the U.N. and ratified by the U.S. Senate, the U.N.s Small Arms Treaty would almost certainly FORCE national governments to:

1. Enact tougher licensing requirements, making law-abiding citizens cut through even more bureaucratic red tape just to own a firearm legally;

2. CONFISCATE and DESTROY ALL [unauthorized] civilian firearms (all firearms owned by the government are excluded, of course);

3. BAN the trade, sale and private ownership of ALL semi-automatic weapons;

4. Create an INTERNATIONAL gun registry, setting the stage for full-scale gun CONFISCATION."

I'm sure I don't have to tell you that this is NOT a fight we can afford to lose.

I’m helping lead the fight to defeat this radical treaty in the United States Senate and I want your help.

Please join me by taking a public stand AGAINST this outright assault on our national sovereignty by signing the Official Firearms Sovereignty Survey below!

"Critics of the treaty contend it is but one in a number of steps taken by the United Nations to bring the United States to its knees. As long as America continues to secure the liberties of its citizens, it stands in the way of the movement toward a one-world government."

Sneaky, very sneaky! If Obama can't get guns out of the hands of the people, let's allow the UN to do it for us!

Global Small Arms Treaty threatens your right to self defense

May 27, 2010

The Washington Times - American gun owners might not feel besieged, but they should. This week, the Obama administration announced its support for the United Nations Small Arms Treaty. This international agreement poses real risks for freedom both in the United States and around the world by making it more difficult -- if not outright illegal -- for law-abiding citizens to keep and bear arms.

The U.N. claims that guns used in armed conflicts cause 300,000 deaths worldwide every year, an inordinate number of which are the result of internal civil strife within individual nations. The solution proposed by transnationalists to keep rebels from getting guns is to make the global pool of weapons smaller through government action. According to recent deliberations regarding the treaty,

Signatory countries would be required to “prevent, combat and eradicate” various classes of guns to undermine “the illicit trade in small arms.”

Such a plan would necessarily lead to confiscation of personal firearms.

This may seem like a reasonable solution to governments that don’t trust their citizens, but it represents a dangerous disregard for the safety and freedom of everybody. First of all, not all insurgencies are bad. As U.S. history shows, one way to get rid of a despotic regime is to rise up against it. That threat is why authoritarian regimes such as Syria, Cuba, Rwanda, Vietnam, Zimbabwe and Sierra Leone endorse gun control.

Political scientist Rudy Rummel estimates that the 15 worst regimes during the 20th century killed 151 million of their own citizens, which works out to 1.5 million victims per year. Even if all 300,000 annual deaths from armed conflicts can be blamed on the small-arms trade (which they cannot), governments are a bigger threat to most people than their neighbors.

This U.N. treaty will lead to more gun control in America.

“After the treaty is approved and it comes into force, you will find out that it has this implication or that implication and it requires the Congress to adopt some measure that restricts ownership of firearms,” former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations John R. Bolton warns.

“The [Obama] administration knows it cannot obtain this kind of legislation purely in a domestic context. … They will use an international agreement as an excuse to get domestically what they couldn’t otherwise.”

The U.N. Small Arms Treaty opens a back door for the Obama administration to force through gun control regulations. Threats to the Second Amendment are as real today as ever.
