President Obama and his European colleagues released a joint statement reaffirming their common commitment to civilian disarmament as outlined in the United Nation’s Arms Trade Treaty (ATT) at the end of the US/EU Summit held this year in Brussels.
Paragraph 33 of the declaration that was released on March 26 states: “We reaffirm our joint commitments on non-proliferation, disarmament and arms control.”
President Obama and his communist buddies also promised: “We will also work together to promote the entry into force of the Arms Trade Treaty in 2014.”
Of course, the media primarily covered the Crimea side of their discussions, not their gun-control agenda.
Obama has quietly signed his name to a document that amounts to nothing less than the de facto repeal of our Second Amendment.
Are you prepared for the next American Revolution, coming to your town soon?
At the conclusion of the U.S.-EU Summit held this week in Brussels, President Obama and his European colleagues released a joint statement reaffirming their common commitment to civilian disarmament as mandated in the United Nation’s Arms Trade Treaty (ATT).
While globalist and establishment media reports focus on the summit’s attention to the events in Crimea, there is a provision at the end of the statement that is of much greater concern to Americans aware of the crescendo of calls for restrictions on the right to keep and bear arms.
Paragraph 33 of the declaration released on March 26 states: “We reaffirm our joint commitments on non-proliferation, disarmament and arms control.”
Among other agreements, President Obama, in the name of the United States, joined with the gathered heads of state in promising: “We will also work together to promote the entry into force of the Arms Trade Treaty in 2014.”
Despite significant congressional opposition to the United Nation’s attempt to confiscate privately owned weapons and ammunition, President Obama quietly signed his name to a document that if carried out, would amount to nothing less than the de facto repeal of the Second Amendment.
In order to appreciate the seriousness of the the Arms Trade Treaty’s threat to the God-given right to keep and bear arms and to the constitutional protection of that right, details of the plan should be understood.
This author attended the negotiations at UN headquarters in Manhattan where the ATT was hammered out, and I found that the ATT is so offensive to the preservation of the right to keep and bear arms, it is an understatement to call it unconstitutional. As The New American has reported, several provisions of this treaty significantly diminish the scope of this basic right.
First, the Arms Trade Treaty grants a monopoly over all weaponry in the hands of the very entity (government) responsible for over 300 million murders in the 20th century.
Furthermore, the treaty leaves private citizens powerless to oppose future slaughters.
One uncomfortable fact of armed violence ignored by the UN in its pro-disarmament propaganda is that all the murders committed by all the serial killers in history don’t amount to a fraction of the brutal killings committed by “authorized state parties” using the very weapons over which they will exercise absolute control under the terms of the Arms Trade Treaty.
Article 2 of the treaty defines the scope of the treaty’s prohibitions. The right to own, buy, sell, trade, or transfer all means of armed resistance, including handguns, is denied to civilians by this section of the Arms Trade Treaty.
Article 3 places the “ammunition/munitions fired, launched or delivered by the conventional arms covered under Article 2” within the scope of the treaty’s prohibitions, as well.
Article 4 rounds out the regulations, also placing all “parts and components” of weapons within the scheme.
Perhaps the most immediate threat to the rights of gun owners in the Arms Trade Treaty is found in Article 5. Under the title of “General Implementation,” Article 5 mandates that all countries participating in the treaty “shall establish and maintain a national control system, including a national control list.”
This list should “apply the provisions of this Treaty to the broadest range of conventional arms.”
Article 12 adds to the record-keeping requirement, mandating that the list include “the quantity, value, model/type, authorized international transfers of conventional arms,” as well as the identity of the “end users” of these items.
In very clear terms, ratification of the Arms Trade Treaty by the United States would require that the U.S. government force gun owners to add their names to the national registry. Citizens would be required to report the amount and type of all firearms and ammunition they possess.
Section 4 of Article 12 of the treaty requires that the list be kept for at least 10 years.
Finally, the agreement demands that national governments take “appropriate measures” to enforce the terms of the treaty, including civilian disarmament. If these countries can’t get this done on their own, however, Article 16 provides for UN assistance, specifically including help with the enforcement of “stockpile management, disarmament, demobilization and reintegration programmes.”
In fact, a “voluntary trust fund” will be established to assist those countries that need help from UN peacekeepers or other regional forces to disarm their citizens.
While President Obama has kept mostly mum lately on the ATT, especially in the face of such strident congressional opposition, the European Union has come right out and called for the enactment of the globalist gun grab.
On February 5, the European Parliament voted to authorize EU countries to ratify the ATT.
In a less-than-enthusiastic press release, the European Parliament declared that the Arms Trade Treaty “wouldn’t necessarily result in the reduction of arms production, but it should stop arms getting into the hands of terrorists and should stop arms flooding into areas that are unstable.”
That’s sounds troubling. Given the proclivity of regimes to label dissenters as “terrorists” and to nominate the United States as a battlefield in the global “War on Terror,” however, the rights protected by the Second Amendment are most certainly under attack in the form of this globalist gun grab masquerading as a peace treaty.
David Martin, a British member of the Group of the Progressive Alliance of Socialists and Democrats who helped draft the recommendation for EU member ratification of the ATT, admitted that the aim of the treaty is control of firearms. “There are weaknesses in the treaty, but it’s nevertheless a major step forward. This is the first time that conventional weapons have been put under any sort of control at all,” Martin said in an interview with the EU press.
BRING IT ON…
You will be “UNsuccessful” !!
Because .02 % of population is murdered every year by guns.
NO Way Remember Cuba First Their Guns 7 Then Their Freedoms
Bogdan you know $#%&!@* is really bad when Americans call obama a communist.
Dream on O Dumass,,not in a year of Sundays mfr.
Most of the member states in the U.N. hate us, and the U.N. is arguably one of the most corrupt organizations on the planet! They take our tax dollars and misspend them…
Screw European union
STILL NOT 1 WORD from Obama
**Sgt Tahmooressi our Marine held in Mexican prison for 152 days. Where is the call for #BringBackOurMarine?? And what has Obama said-NOTHING as USUAL.
All I want to know is “Did I have to pay once again for Obama to attend wedding” The world is on fire & Obama jets off to NY to attend wedding.
Putin reminds everyone that he has Nukes. Now has 1,000 Russian soldiers in Ukraine & what does Obama say-NOTHING
**anyone want to ask if when Obama told Putin he would be more flexible after the election is the reason Obama refuses to help Ukraine?
**Will Obama act now-doubtfull-The king of Saudi Arabia has warned that extremists could attack Europe and the U.S. if there is not a strong international response to terrorism after the Islamic State group seized a wide territory across Iraq and Syria.
Obama comes out to tell us that he has no strategy – 1 would ask why he even spoke – only he would think that this makes him look like he is doing something.
Obama says when asked about acting with out Congress “It is my job to protect the American people & when our people or 1 of our embassies is in danger – I have to act immediately” So I ask – WHAT ABOUT BENGHAZI?
-Tells ISIS that he might attack in Syria-nothing like letting them know ahead of time
Obama threatens to go around Congress with global warming.
Obama threatens to give amnesty to millions
Is this proof that all Obama is doing is trying to get Republicans to do something that will cause them problems? He is pushing them on everything while over stepping his authority-just for political reasons. Showing that he doesn’t know what he is doing & that he doesn’t care what happens to America in the process.
Fed’s spending $1 MILLION to study “Hate Speech” – we are broke & this is a waste of our money. They could start in Obama’s administration 1st.
**IRS Lerner’s Blackberry was intentionally destroyed after Congress had begun its probe into IRS targeting of conservative groups, a senior IRS lawyer acknowledged in a sworn declaration. Sadly, this has become standard operating procedure for the Obama administration. Delay. Derail. Deceive.”
***Here is what I say about Obama – You can put a suit on a community organizer but that doesn’t make you a President.
Obama says about ISIS-You can put on a Laker uniform but that doesn’t make you Koby Brant.
**Obama sends 4 people to Brown funeral & NOT ONE to Gen Greene’s funeral. The General that died in Afghanistan-showing once again that he doesn’t care about our military.
GAO now says that Obama broke the law when they traded for Berghdal & that they also broke law by using fund that were not available – $1 million
So they aren’t worried about America’s open borders & immigration-Dempsey says that those in EU have to be worried about ISIS due to their open borders & immigration.
Obama speaks on beheading & what did we get once again. No FIRE – is there anything that would get him to actually act as if he gave a damn? ISIS just beheaded an American journalists as they say they will do it again.
Those that came to this country the legal way & they aren’t happy about all the illegals that may be getting a free pass.
Millennium’s are losing faith in Obama at alarming rate.
WHO is going to get hurt if Obama uses exec order to give work visa’s to some 100,000.Let’s see that would be low & middle class that will now have to compete for those jobs. WHO is going to make sure that these 100,000 actually get work & pay taxes?
This from Obama
-on Ukraine-we will wait & see what happens
-on Gaza-what HAMAS has done is irresponsible-as usual-weak statement. These are war crimes but O just can’t bring himself to say it.
-O tells other countries to be transparent-Obama is least transparent & he tells others to be transparent. JOKE
-on Syria-O did nothing & killing are still going on
-on Libya-O got rid of Gaddafi & then country fell apart
-on Iran-O still negotiating with Iran while they are supplying Hamas with weapons
-on Iraq-O pulled out then Iran stepped in & country fell apart-all while we are still negotiating with Iran
Listening to Dem’s going on & on about the CHILDREN – THEY ARE NOT ALL CHILDREN. Question-WHY is NO ONE talking about the 2/3 of these crossing our border that are not children. 178,000-YES-that is the # of illegals that have come since Oct 2013. WHY is no one talking about the 118,000 that are not children? Intelligence report: 90% of the illegal children interviewed state they are not fleeing violence; they are coming because they were told they would get amnesty.
Update on IRS lost e-mails – now 1 IS persons has told us that hard drive had deep gashes on it. So they didn’t crash
-CIA caught spying on Senate & Dem’s not happy. Pheiffer says Brennan is a man of great integrity-in other words he does what Obama ask him to do. Why else would this happen.
-IRS we now have e-mail from Lerner showing her calling conservatives A..holes & crazies. Time to charge Lerner.
-IRS says now that they have found back-up tapes & are looking for Lerner e-mails-Is this another LIE from IRS?
-Fed courts say those using Obamacare that only those in state exchanges are allowed subsidies
-Another courts say all states are allowed subsidies-this is the court that Reid changed the rules for 51 votes so Obama could pack the court w/his supporters.
-9/11 Commission say that we are LESS safe now than before 9/11
-Benghazi report now says that they ask for extra security prior to attack when they learned that terrorists moved in right next door but State dept says they didn’t want to upset neighbors
-We now find out that Kerry released half of $$’s being held under sanctions back to Iran just to keep working on the deal.
-Story Bergdahl’s health. They now say he was tortured-of course he was-would you trust a deserter?
-Hagel says that they didn’t negotiating w/terrorists they negotiated w/Qatar. DO THEY THINK WE ARE ALL STUPID?
-Obama admin are saying those that were actually there when Bergdahl deserted are LYING.
Obama says that we never leave a man behind. Guess he has forgotten about Benghazi.
Anything reported–Obama says that he didn’t know.
Again we ask–What the hell does Obama know? Plausible Deni ability
Fast & Furious–Obama didn’t know-courts now say they must turn over documents-we will hold our breath for that 1.
Benghazi–Obama didn’t know-now documents show that Obama & Clinton LIED about the attack & Morrell gave St Dept cover. We also know that he was not in the situation room that night. All on ground said terrorists attack. CIA chose to listen to analyst in DC instead.
IRS–Obama didn’t know-now calling it a media scandal. DOJ says NO charges
NSA–Obama didn’t know
Obamacare not working–Obama didn’t know- Obama said he was not told DIRECTLY now there is a memo showing the White house was told 1 week prior to roll out of issues.
OH NO – not again. Obama admin admitted that it has lost emails from the key official who oversaw the botched Obamacare roll out last year
Going after AP & FOX reporters phone records because they were reporting things that Obama didn’t want known – Obama didn’t know
ICE reports 36,000 illegals released last year & 1,000’s have criminal records-even rape & murder.
70% of VA facilities used secret waiting list. In 2011 they started the bonus program.
VA scandal They say Obama found out reading newspaper but Obama & Biden were told 5 years ago that VA was inaccurately report wait times.
Obama always says he will get to the bottom of it & then what do we see–NOTHING. Obama continues to say “We will bring those responsible to justice”. And what have we seen – NO ONE held accountable.
By the way-this is 1 woman that does not support Obama or anything that he stands for! We will get the truth 1 day. My motto:”I WILL NOT COMPLY!” So I will sing my song until he is gone.. Please enjoy & start learning the words.
