The United nations attempt at undermining the Constitution of the United States is nothing new. What is new is a freedom detesting, America hating, foreign apologist sitting in the Whitehouse that is surrounded by like minded individuals.
The Obamanites may not be able to garner support for their radical anti liberty agenda in Congress, but what they can do is ram a treaty through, and them have the Supreme Court enforce the provisions of the treaty.
Effectively disarming the American people at a time when foreign cartels fuel lethal gang activity across the country, and terrorist walk among us. Not to mention that they are armed to the hilt. Often with weaponry that is in fact denied to American citizens already. Read on…
Conventional arms control, United Nations-style, won’t stem the proliferation of guns that get into the wrong hands. More likely, it will only make bad situations worse.
The United States was one of only two nations that voted against the U.N. resolution last year. Its support among member states could advance a legally binding U.N. treaty creating “common international standards” for the import and export of small arms and light weapons.
The trouble is, rogue nations and thugs don’t subscribe to “international standards.” Worse, a “right-to-buy” provision would enable despots to acquire arms freely and inhibit U.S. enforcement of its own arms embargoes against 26 states and/or entities.
And how would a U.N. gun treaty keep weapons away from world terrorists when, as yet, U.N. members haven’t defined exactly what constitutes terrorism?
“The problem is not the absence of an arms trade treaty. It is the U.N. members that are supplying and buying arms, conniving with terrorists and killing people directly,” according to a Heritage Foundation analysis.
Iran and Venezuela both fit the bill. And China and Russia — which abstained on the U.N. resolution — are leading suppliers to the world’s worst regimes.
The U.S. should speak up, and loudly, against a U.N. arms-trade treaty that isn’t merely ineffective but is bound to backfire.
