On July 27, the United Nations Organization is expected to finalize an international ban on gun ownership. Obama has vowed to sign it.
The United Nations has been pushing for a treaty against privately owned weapons ever since 1961.
Under George W. Bush, the treaty had opposition. President Obama is strongly in favor of it.
Larry Bell of Forbes has done a good job in tracking this monstrosity.
The Obama administration is actively engaged in negotiations to finalize details for a new global agreement premised to fight “terrorism”, “insurgency” and “international crime syndicates”. As U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon describes its purpose, “Our goal is clear: a robust and legally binding Arms Trade Treaty that will have a real impact on the lives of those millions of people suffering from consequences of armed conflict, repression and armed violence…It is ambitious, but it is achievable.”
The Senate is likely to go Republican this fall. Obama has until January 19, 2013, to ram this through the Democrat-controlled Senate.
It’s not just about gun control. It is about Agenda 21: “sustainable development.”
Foreign ministers of the U.K., France, Germany and Sweden want the treaty to cover all types of conventional weapons, notably including small arms and light weapons, all types of munitions, and related technologies. They also advocate that it include strong provisions governing human rights, international humanitarian law and sustainable development.
On June 29, 130 House members sent Obama a letter warning about this surrender of national sovereignty. First, 535 members should have signed it. Second, the House has nothing to say about it. The Senate will make that decision.
What is Agenda 21? It is an international welfare state run by unelected bureaucrats at the UN. Bell comments.
Agenda 21 envisions a global scheme for healthcare, education, nutrition, agriculture, labor, production, and consumption. A summary version titled AGENDA 21: The Earth Summit Strategy to Save Our Planet (Earthpress, 1993), calls for “…a profound reorientation of all human society, unlike anything the world has ever experienced—a major shift in the priorities of both governments and individuals and an unprecedented redeployment of human and financial resources.” The report emphasizes that “This shift will demand a concern for the environmental consequences of every human action be integrated into individual and collective decision-making at every level.”
It means the triumph of the Green agenda if it is enforced. It will have to be funded. But the treaty will mandate this funding.
“Comprehensive planning”, “growth management” and “smart growth” (which is Agenda 21 with a new name). All mean pretty much the same thing… centralized control over virtually every aspect of urban life: energy and water use, housing stock and allocation, population levels, public health and dietary regimens, resources and recycling, “social justice” and education.
This treaty will be submitted by Obama before the end of the year. The Senate Republicans had better be ready to filibuster. The Democrats will need 60 votes to get cloture. I hope they don’t have 60 votes.
It is a good thing that this is an election year. Some Democrats will have their fingers in the wind for direction.
I hope the wind is blowing hard.

No way this passes.
(Disclaimer: I said the same about Obamacare's passage, and the SCOTUS ruling…)
I'm sure Lamar Alexander will be the first to vote yea and sell us all out. I know that democrats tend to be mentally challenged, but I hoping that Manchin can wise enough of them up to save what is left of our sovereignty. This is what happens when you have an uneducated society that is allowed to vote…they elect morons like Pelosi, Boxer, Stark, Feinstein, Murray, etc.,
My Kansas Senators have both said they will NOT support this. Anything that effects the rights of our citizens in our founding docs they will NOT support. Have you all contacted your senators? That is the first step. EVERY single Senator needs to be contacted.
that is about the dumbest thing I have ever heard of, slavery of the whole world
The Arms Trade Treaty, under the Supremacy Clause of the US Constitution, would have the power of a constitutional amendment and would, effectively, repeal the Second Amendment guaranteeing us the right to bear arms. We must fight to stop the US from signing the treaty and, if we fail, block Senate ratification.

God and Guns keep us strong, that’s this country was founded on! We might as well give up and run if they let`em take our God and Guns! Ya really don't know that much about`em if ya think we`re better off with out`em!(from the Lynyrd Skynyrd song God & Guns)
GET THE US OUT OF THE UN, AND THE UN OUT OF THE US!!!!!!!!!!! NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The UN needs to leave the US they as worthless as a tits on a boar hog.
Please, please contact all your representatives. Local, state and federal. This reaches down to your neighborhood 'they' even want to control how many children you can have!! This is the TRUTH. Does this remind you of China, anyone?? This is a very scary proposition. America was founded on the principles of FREEDOM, life liberty and the pursuit of happiness. No other country in the world has a constitution such as ours, and 'they' want to take away our freedoms. BHO wants this to happen. He believes that everyone should be equal,in all things. I suppose we should start building our cinder block high rise apartments because your home as you know it will be at risk to be given to someone 'more diserving'. Think I'm kidding – read Agenda 21. Be scared, be very scared
JIM YOU HIT THE NAIL ON THE HEAD. SLAVERY OF THE WORLD IS,I SAY IS,THEIR GOAL.OUR GOVERNMENT IS PART WAY THERE NOW.JUST LOOK AT ALL THE FREEDOMS WE'VE LOST.ACCORDING TO THE WORD OF GOD THIS SHALL HAPPEN.CHRIST ONLY KNOWS. BE READY WHEN IT COMES.
I already know what the two Senators from Illinois will vote. One Dem and the Other Rino. Both will vote for this treaty with gusto. They are both big POS and would love nothing better than to take away the rights given to us under the Constitution and read us the rights they think we should have ( which are none )
Actually the Sen. doesn't have to vote on this ,all they have to do is pass it on to the Dictator in chief , if he signs it , it becomes new law by virtue of a international treaty signed by him, then it becomes enforceable by the U.N. Hopefully the new President ( if God willing we elect one ) Will make nulifying this treaty his first priority. The Senate only needs 51 votes to pass this in the first place as it is an international treaty. International treatys supercede our constitution , and since it isn't an amendment to it ( the Constitution ) they don't need 3/5 of a majority to pass it. Scary shit huh?
Something that we all should be aware of. I haven't heard anything about this even on Fox News (which I'm becoming very critical of). The BHO has issued another of his EXECUTIVE ORDERS, yes and this one gives him the right to control and shut down the airwaves – all communication. Chavez anyone?? Hitler anyone?? This was done under the guise of national security when in need of imformation. BHO has already tried to reign in Rush, Glenn, Fox news, etc – Rand Paul. Up until this point he has been unsuccessful. But now by EXECUTIVE ORDER, he can do what he wants. Look it up. Google executive order obama. Read through the gobbity-gook. But take NOTE of Sec 2.2 – Sub-b and Sec 5.6. Therein lies the TRUTH
We have been slaves since 1913. Agenda 21 is just to making sure the guns are aimed at our heads.
be sure to remember their votes when you go to vote in november
That's debatable, but I don't know if we really want to test the waters given the present makeup of the Suprme Court. http://www.jpands.org/hacienda/article4.html
If you all remeber Harry Rieds last reelection the NRA supported him. How could scary Harry not kill this in the Senate?
Roy, You hit the nail on the head…after the Jektll Island freaks wrote the monetary slavery bill in 1910, Nelson Aldrich (his daughter married John Rockefeller) rammed the federal reserve legislation through Congress and it was signed by the Progressive hack Woodrow Wilson (campaign heavily funded by bankers).
Well unfortunately we the people only have two options to keep this from taking our guns. First and foremost we must start NOW, TODAY writing every Senate member whether or not you can vote for them. This folks is extremely easy to do. I use Congress.org to not only keep up with what is going on in the House and Senate but how my District 10 people vote and well the rest of NC too. Once I finish that this website has a program where you can write your House/Senate members for FREE. You can send email, letter over Internet and print out the letter to be physically mailed for the dead serious ones that have the money to spend on stamps. It's so easy… please take the time to write ALL THE SENATE MEMBERS and mention how important this is for their vote to be counted. I flat out telling them i WILL NOT COVER THEM IF THEY CANNOT COVER ME ON THIS SENATE VOTE. And of course the other way is to unite and die trying to protect your guns when they knock on the door. So, which is it."???
Watch out !!!!!! Our president has just taken over all communication in the US by executive order. He also by executive order decided not to deport a certain secetion of elligal aliens, the executive order was un-necessary anyway. Then what is the reason for that? I think the reason was to get us used to executive order, so that he can ratify the UN treaty by executive order & not worry about the Senate. I hope history is not repeating itself.
By US law no treaty may usurp the primacy of the Constitution or US law. In order to overturn a Constitutional amendment it takes BOTH houses of Congress. Remember Prohibition? I think this will go nowhere, Dems, RINOs and Republicans will block this.
However, that said, check out this link to be slapped in the face about gun confiscation.

Again, I don't think it can be rammed through and even if it is, with a new President and Senate following in the footsteps of the House it will have no chance of continuance.
If it IS passed, remember the words of, I think it was John Adams, but someone feel free to correct me if I'm wrong, "the tree of liberty must, at times, be freshened (or was it watered) with the blood of Patriots and Tyrants".
It may be time to "Man Up", or at least be prepared.
In that I know, as proven by England being the greatest civil empire in history, that WE also are the REAL ISRAEL by the seed of Joseph(Gen. 48:16), NOT JUDAH, only PROMISED MESSIAH(Gen. 49:10). Also as written we BROKE THE "NAME COVENANT" by BREAKING THE CORRESPONDING "SABBATHS COVENANT"(WEEKLY & ANNUAL) & LOST KNOWLEDGE OF WHO WE WERE, ALTHOUGH THROUGH ENGLAND, WE ALSO HAVE TO BE ISRAEL! POINT: President Obama is the "ONLY" LEADER of ISRAEL BY THE SEED OF JOSEPH PREDICTED TO LEAD ISRAEL IN THE ENTIRE "BIBLE"(HEBREW INSPIRED SCRIPTURES) & DEUTERONOMY 17:15 CALLS HIM THE "FORBIDDEN FOREIGNER" PUT OVER U.S. ONLY NON-ANGLO-SAXON IN 6,000 YEARS, MIGHT I ADD! Did I also mention THIS TIME ALSO the RIGHT self-proclaimed "ANTI-CHRIST"(MARXIST) OVER U.S. OF REVELATION, CHAPTER 11! Just talking about what's written… P.S. Yes, OBAMA IS REVELATION'S "ANTI-CHRIST" PUT OVER U.S. Watch, especially September 16, 2012, which is the Feast of Trumpets(war)! Again, WATCH!
"Under George W. Bush, the treaty had opposition. President Obama is strongly in favor of it." Without an immutable standard by which all decisions must be based, everything is "up for grabs" the next time around. The same is true in both the legislative and judicial branches. Let me provide an example:
"Two people could have walked down any U.S. street in 1930 – one with a bottle of whiskey under his arm and one with a bar of gold in his pocket, and the one with the whiskey would have been a criminal whereas the one with the bar of gold would have been considered a good law abiding citizen. If the same thing happened in any U. S. city in 1970, the one with the whiskey would be the law abiding citizen and the one with the gold bar would be the criminal." (W.W. Turner, The Amazing Story of the British Sovereign (Nashville, TN: 1970) p. 4)
The reason for this is because the framers nowhere expressly based the Constitution upon Yahweh's immutable standard – His morality as codified in His commandments, statutes, and judgments. Consequently, we're left with the capricious opinions of fickle men (lately a bunch of nincompoops), the next of which can overturn the previous decision or law. This will go on perpetually unless we face up to this critical, inherent problem with our constitutional system.
First, we cannot unbiblically vote for non-biblical candidates into non-Biblical positions our way out of the mess we find ourselves. The last 224 years of constitutional voting demonstrates that America has only become less Christian and more ungodly with each and every election, regardless who's elected. Instead, we must repent our way out of this mess, which means returning to Yahweh and His morality as found in His perfect law and altogether righteous judgments (Psalm 19:7-11).
This is not going to occur overnight. Most of modern Christianity is antinomian, meaning they believe that Yahweh's moral laws have been abolished and have no practical purpose under the New Covenant. In short, modern Christianity (what in the 17th-century was Christendom) is saltless, good for nothing but to trampled under the foot of man, as per Matthew 5:13. This means that modern saltless Christianity is our principle mission field.
This battle begins by accepting and teaching the literal truth of Psalm 19:7-11 and identifying our national idol that stands in the way of implementing Yahweh's commandments, statutes, and judgments. Like Gideon of old, our fathers' idol must be destroyed before we can implement Yahweh's law. If every Christian were putting the same effort and resources into this as some do every four years in trying to vote the "better" man into office, we would begin to see our way to some REAL progress in saving this nation from the precipice she now teeters on. I hope you will join the real battle, which has only just begun!
Easy, because ha has no morals!
Gun control strengthens the government and weakens the people. The more totalitarian the government, the more it will push for gun control. Why else would a "wanna be" tyrant have any reason to fear an armed populace?
"Law and Kingdom: Their Relevance Under the New Covenant" should prove useful to anyone confused about how Yahweh's law applies under the New Covenant. Click on my name above, go to our Online Book Page, scroll down to title.
Also, don't miss our Constitution Survey in the right-hand column by which you can receive a free copy of the 85-page "Primer" of "Bible Law vs. the United States Constitution: The Christian Perspective."
"NRA" 54 Senators "Pledge NO" more Dems up in November, can't win without NRA. leaves 46 yes, long way from 2/3rds let alone 3/4ths. 2nd, only a matter of time before "Executive Orders" come before SCOTUS!!! In spite of OBAMA CARE ruling,Court is consistant on Seperation of Powers, will go down as "Executive over reach" focus on November. We got Romney! Not my first choice, with Solid Majoritys in the House and Senate, we can reverse the Crap this bunch passed. A President does not make or pass laws, dispite what Obama thinks, so we will be alright. I can't see Romney bucking Congress. It's going to take a lot longer, to fix our currency and economy, cuts have to be made. But all we really have to do is roll back to 2008 levels, cut rates on income & ELIMINATE cap gains taxes, like under Reagan, revenues will double (FACT) can cut that 15 T down to size, restore our credit, Millions of jobs created, more importantly, keep the Dollar as the world's RESERVE CURRANCY! WE KNOW WHAT TO DO!! ."LET'S ROLL!!!"
Sorry about the Choppy comment, but I had to shorten it to fit! We have a golden opportunity in November, let's not blow it over minutia!! Romney may not be a Conservative, but with a Veto Proof Conservative Congress, he is CONSERVATIVE ENOUGH!!!
Apparently, Ted Weiland, you have forgotten that God said He is "not of this world" and to "render unto Ceasar that which is Ceasar's". God is not a government–never has been and never will be. God made man to govern himself with the guidance that was provided in the beginning; it does not mean that God rules, per se. According to you, your words are supportive of obama's mistaken idea that salvation is collective–and you know it is not. Evidently, you do not support the US Constitution since you refer to it as an "idol". You imply there is something to that notion "social justice" in the Biblical sense–fact is, neither God nor Christ ever uttered those words or spoke of such an ideology. Yes, if a person wants salvation, they must do it on their own as an individual because that is how God wants one to seek grace and salvation–it must come from the heart.
Addendum: Psalm 19 refers to the individual's part in honoring God, not the nation because God is aware that there will always be adversaries in high places. I really don't want your brand of "christendom" or "christianity" because you blend bigotry into your "christian appeal." Just because you claim repentance will "get us out of this mess," the reality is that it won't–because God is not a government.
CJM2, I have not at all forgotten what you think I have. You will actually find those passages addressed in the online book mentioned above. Perhaps you shouldn't be so presumptuous about my beliefs, lest be guilty of Proverbs 18:13.
obama takes libeties with the US Constitution that he knows are not permitted….he spits on the Law of the Land, ignoring the ire of the people, and, consequently, will be his own undoing. Sooner or later, lies have a way of catching up to you and they are closing in fast where obama and his cohorts in crime are concerned. Any agreements that this adminsitration has enterd into must be rescinded. We will NOT be governed by the UN–The US needs to oust this communist agent from our nation (and make nice apartments out of the building) and severe our ties with NATO.
No one international law should affect our constitution. Let's they try to remove illegal ones first.
Whather it passes or not, perhaps the best way to send a message is to go down the list of all those that voted for it and make their funeral arrangements for them.
the tyrants must erase any potential for armed resistance. Notice they mentioned "insurrection", which usually means armed resistance against government; tyrannical government.
I'll bet you $ 10,000 that the people of Syria wished to God that they had access to small arms right now. If the Foreign ministers of the U.K., France, Germany and Sweden merely want to eliminate arms in the ir own countries by all means let them. But why would they care about other countries?
Because they are part of a group that wants to dominate and control the entire world for their own exploitation. It won't matter who dies or suffers as a result because they want the wealth and the power. The rest of us be dammmed.
But then, I'm preaching to the choir here. Few on this site need convincing of what's happening here.
Seriously, any elected or appointed official, and this especially includes Hillary, who desires to dismantle the Constitution or our secured rights under the Constitution, by any means, should immediately be removed from office and imprisoned.
lilbear68,
If obomo signs that treaty, there will be NO election in November. The UN will take over and that will be the end of the US.
Obomo needs to be stopped immediately, and prevented from signing it at all…
Everyone, after you contact your elected representatives.
You need to stock up on God and Guns, ammo, disaster supplies, and practice, practice, practice, and get ready to
fight in defense of the United States…
God bless America…
There is some misinformation in the comments above. If Obama and Hillary sign on to this treaty the U.S. is bound by it as if it were approved until the President (whoever it might be) rescinds his approval or until the Senate votes on it. Obama doesn't have to bring it to the Senate to have it voted on for 5 years, but it functions as if it were approved because of his signature. Obama will sign it and immediately start the implementation of its provisions to disarm the American people through executive order. There are already foreign troops in our country waiting to be used for the confiscation of banned firearms in the hands of the people. Check out the video about this on dickmorris.com to see how this will be done. Blue helmets look good in crosshairs.
The Bill of Rights is comprised of RIGHTS, not revocable privileges.
Any politician who signs onto this aganda is a TRAITOR, and should be dealt with accordingly.
(1) You are benighted and foolish if you think that the 2nd amendment protects an individual's right to own a gun. It does nothing of the sort but instead guarantees a well regulated militia, of which Congress is the regulator, and the president, the commander in chief. In principle it would be a simple matter to limit gun ownership to members of the militia and to limit membership to loyal, law-abiding citizens. You gun huggers will be counted as terrorists, of course, and terrorists shouldn't be tolerated in a militia. A UN ATT could motivate the changes to American statutes, and possibly to state constitutions (e.g. Illinois), that would be needed to bring this about.
(2) Some features that would be included in the UN's ideal arms trade treaty are clear enough from the web site of the United Nations Office for Disarmament Affairs (http://www.un.org/disarmament/convarms/SALW/). For example, it reads there that
"Governments have a responsibility to ensure public safety and they have an interest in providing human security and development to their citizens. So they should ensure that small arms from Government stocks or from private ownership are not misused and do not enter illicit circuits, where their use may contribute to instability and to exacerbating poverty."
So, there you have it. The UN's ideal arms trade treaty will be about regulating firearms ownership within the USA, among other places, for regulating the trade in arms between citizens of a given nation is a way to make sure that arms don't enter "illicit circuits". See also the remarks about international marking and tracing in the section "Marking and tracing".
(3) It should be obvious to you that the UN's ATT would be progress toward establishing a global federation that stands in relation to its provinces much like the central government of the USA stands in relation to Delaware, Pennsylvania, NJ, and so on. This progress would have to come at the expense of conservative Americans' cramped view of federalism. But problems will remain.
For example, according to Wikipedia, the United Nations Treaty Series has "over 158,000 treaties and related subsequent actions which have been published in hard copy in over 2,200 volumes". This is much too unwieldy for anything like a smoothly-functioning confederation to cope with. So a constitution will be drafted and submitted to member nations for approval. You'll get a United Nations Congress, a president, and a Supreme Court of the United Nations (SCOTUN). Maybe gun huggers will get a clause added about the security of a free state needing a well-regulated militia, which in turn will be conflated with the right to keep and to bear arms, just as it is in the great Constitution of the USA.
From my cold dead hands! If Obama signs this, even as a lame duck preasident, any senator who doesn't vote for impeachmant will never receive another vote from me!
It has just occured to me: just as I will resist by deadly force if necessary, the illegal confiscation of my guns, so will thousands or millions of Constitution loving Americans. This is just the "crisis" Obama is looking for to declare martial law, nullify the election and declare himself dictator. It may start more of a fire than he can put out, however.
I see the morons are redefining MILITIA again.
A militia is not a standing army. It is comprised of armed citizenry. The arsenal act was enacted to standardize the arms used by both militias and standing army units. It was not intended to disarm the citizenry.
Leave it to the Libs to revise history and law, and attempt to relegate the 2nd Amendment to a 'privilege' confered by a political body in contravention of the Bill of Rights.
Once again, theBill of Rights is comprised of RIGHTS, not revocable priveleges.
Just keep an eye on who votes yes …
Send Hilary, Obama, and whatever UN reps they can gather to Mexico to confiscate guns from the drug cartels. This would probably not pan out if Holder just sends them more. I really think the U.S. should withdraw from the useless UN and throw the headquarters out of our country. With our massive deficit we can't afford to throw taxpayers dollars at this totally useless organization. It's painfully evident we have a grossly disfunction gorup of elected officials ruining our country. Please vote in the 2012 elections and trow these liberal bums out. Read the Constitution.
McCain, Snow, Collins, Brown, McConnell, Grassley and 10 other RINO scum bags. It's not just on the left – our problem is the Dumb ass Americans who vote any incumbent in for a second or 10th term! Send them home after one term possibly two if they've done something great. Just want good piece of legislation has come out of D.C. in the past 50 yr or so, now obviously I do believe the civil rights legislation was good, but, other than that what?
Keep on rocking there oldfart, the one thing if we can get r done is ALL the people of this country have to understand the scum bag politicians (except for a few) represent special interest not the people. the only fix is for us to come together get off the D's and R's (that strategy that keeps us divided works only for them) blame game and Re-Elect No-One….I do believe there are enough Dem's (as a former born and raised dem) who do think and who have seen their party go too far to the left and do not like it….so convice people of this?? pipe dream but, they will never do term limits or campaign finance reform and as long as the lobbyist can get to the politician and dump Big $ in their war chest for re-election well we know who's interest will be served…
where are these foreign troops? I'm sure the scum bag commie occupying the oval orifice would like nothing better than to disarm us for who ever is calling on him to do so….UN commie bastasds with the wealthiest families in the world running it (just like the federal reserve) we're so screwed bkz of the dumb ass American people. I'm surprised we've managed to hold on this long to what little liberty we currently have in this country.
we the people who are the real government,to ovomit/devil to hillary the evil agenda21 nwo bitc-,we the people only abide by the law of the land,which is the constitituion,the un can pass anything they want,we the people nullify anything out of this treasonous evil communist,people and building,hillary/ovomit/camel dung,stick your small arms global gun ban upper us.god bless ron paul,sheriff joe and cold case posse,brian terry and family,chuck norris,frank serpico,all american veterans/citizens.one nation under god
WHEN the POTUS and sec. of State sign this treaty and under the Venice Convention it will become law. It will remain so until either the POTUS decides to veto it or the
Senate declares it void. 54 have already agreed not to sign the treaty which is well over the 1/3 needed.
My question is, although the above is what the law says, how will Obama and Hilolary avoid the term "inalienable" that is in the Second Amendment??
If I hear another liberal use the word "robust", I'm going to lose my lunch!
Excellent! Look up "pogram". Instead of sending flowers I suggest wet paper bags full of dog crpa.
Make that pogrom.
I pray that this treaty is not ratified. There is another country, maybe two, that have banned guns. Now just the criminals have guns and the people have no way to defend themselves. Is that the way we want our country to go? I don't think so.
We need to vote these kind of people out.
Hillory Clinton will take Joe Bidens place, that would put Her 2nd in Command if something dreadfull should happen to Captain BS (barry soetoro). That dreadful something could very well be a recall of Obama (for any one of dozens of impeachable offenses). That event would automatically propell our National Sweetheart into the White House as Queen of The USA.
Since it has the effect of a constitutional amendment, after the Senate ratifies it, we should have to get 3/4 of the states to ratify it….?
Mike you are very right harry the jackass reid will NOT bring this to the floor might not pass. And I to think blue looks good in the crosshairs.. GOD and the REPUBLIC
And this is a surprise because…………..???? I have said for decades now 'get out of the UN, and get the UN out of the US' Obama kowtows to them like a slave (and no, my choice of phrase is not lost on me). Bob
Dirty Harry says,"Make my day punk."
