The UN Small Arms Treaty, that was signed by Obama but not ratified by the Senate, went into effect on Christmas Eve.

There is no reasonable doubt that the UN Small Arms Treaty does violate the U S Constitution, and President Obama is absolutely wrong to sign it.
This is not a complex argument. The 2nd Amendment says: “the right of the people” – not men, or militia members; “to keepand bear” – not just to own; “arms” – not only hunting or self-defense guns; and “shall not be infringed”.
The last phrase is key. If you want to restrict gun ownership, amend the Constitution to allow it; as written, there are no restrictions.
A key point to be made here is the export/import application to the 2nd Amendment. Restricting exports doesn’t infringe on our rights to gun ownership, it restricts the rights of non-Americans, those in other countries. But restricting imports does infringe.
Reasons to be concerned about the UN Small Arms Treaty:
Article 2 states:
- Sec. 1. “This Treaty shall apply to all conventional arms within the following: 1(h) Small arms and light weapons.” – exception in section 3 below.
- Sec. 3. “This Treaty shall not apply to …conventional arms…that… remain under that state party’s ownership” – control of that government is exempted. There is no exemption for civilians.
Article 3 regulates the export of ammunition.
Article 4 regulates the export of parts.
Article 5 states:
- Sec. 3. “Each State Party is encouraged to apply the provisions of this Treaty to the broadest range of conventional arms.”
- Sec. 4. Requires all Parties to submit their “national control lists” to the Secretariat.
UN Small Arms Treaty conclusion:
The UN Small Arms Treaty is not an honest attempt to create world peace. If it applied only to larger military weapons, such as planes, warships, tanks, etc, we could reasonably give the United Nations the benefit of the doubt. But with the vague wording, as well as the inclusion of “small arms and light weapons”, and specific encouragement to “apply the provisions of this Treaty to the broadest range of conventional arms”, and, finally, the exemption for arms that “remain under that State Party’s ownership”, the only reasonable conclusion is the creation of a Police State. This Treaty restricts civilian arms sales while exempting government sales, and consolidating all control under the United Nations Secretariat.
This is a fairly transparent attempt at consolidation of power under the UN, vs individual national sovereignty.

I say sign that shit and lets get it on.
Amen
“Obama is absolutely wrong to sign it. ”
You are incorrect.
Obama committed TREASON when he signed it. Big difference. No one who serves within our governments were given the power to give authority to a foreign nation, foreign entity.
What he did was openly declare his treasonous acts (again). This time if the UN comes into the US to enforce these unlawful things under our legitimate government it is (as it really was before in the 2012 elections) an invasion of our nation, an act of war against the USA and the American people.
That is the VERY definition of TREASON, and the acts of a traitor to the USA. “We the People” need to arrest him and his complete administration and charge them with treason, including the legislative and judicial branches. Then we need to require the death penalty.
Look at the good side, we will get to use HONEST elections to replace those positions that run for office, and new jobs created for all the rest of the positions down to the janitors. May as well clean house and get the rest of the traitors from Bush 1 and his administration, the Clinton’s and their administration, Bush 2 and his administration. Those who are in the Pentagon, and the Federal Reserve. All are TRAITORS to the USA and the American people.
“There is no reasonable doubt that the UN Small Arms Treaty does violate the U S Constitution,”
Article. VI: “This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in Pursuance thereof; and all Treaties made, or which shall be made, under the Authority of the United States, shall be the supreme Law of the Land; and the Judges in every State shall be bound thereby, any Thing in the Constitution or Laws of any State to the Contrary notwithstanding.”
Alexander Hamilton: “The only constitutional exception to the power of making treaties is, that it shall not change the Constitution… On natural principles, a treaty, which should manifestly betray or sacrifice primary interests of the state, would be null.”
Alexander Hamilton: “… a treaty cannot be made which alters the Constitution or which infringes any express exceptions to the power of the Constitution of the United States.”
John Adams, 2nd US President: “You have rights antecedent to all earthly governments; rights that cannot be repealed or restrained by human laws; rights derived from the Great Legislator of the Universe”
Alexander Hamilton in Federalist 69: “The one [a president] can confer no privileges whatever; the other [the king] can make denizens of aliens, noblemen of commoners; can erect corporations with all the rights incident to corporate bodies.”
Thomas Paine:“It is the duty of the patriot to protect his country from its government.”
James Madison, Federalist 14: “In the first place, it is to be remembered, that the general government is not to be charged with the whole power of making and administering laws. Its jurisdiction is limited to certain enumerated objects, which concern all the members of the republic, but which are not to be attained by the separate provisions of any”.
In Federalist 45 Madison wrote: “The powers delegated by the proposed Constitution to the federal government are few and defined. Those which are to remain in the State governments are numerous and indefinite. The former will be exercised principally on external objects, as war, peace, negotiation, and foreign commerce; with which last the power of taxation will, for the most part, be connected. The powers reserved to the several states will extend to all the objects which, in the ordinary course of affairs, concern the lives, liberties, and properties of the people, and the internal order, improvement and prosperity of the State.”
Samuel Adams: “If ever time should come, when vain and aspiring men shall possess the highest seats in Government, our country will stand in need of its experienced patriots to prevent its ruin.”
“Patriotism means to stand by the country. It does NOT mean to stand by the President or any other public official save exactly to the degree in which he himself stands by the country. It is patriotic to support him insofar as he efficiently serves the country. It is unpatriotic not to oppose him to the exact extent that by inefficiency or otherwise he fails in his duty to stand by the country.” Theodore Roosevelt
easy lesson
Trees and rope
funny how the pond near the Washington monument has all those trees lining it…coincidence ? I think knot <— play on words if you catch my drift ?
Listen up folks. Berry may have signed it, Kerry sign it BUT the senate has to approve by 2/3 for it to become official. So just chill out and wait for the Assholes to approve it, then get pissed off. READ THE CONSTITUTION.
I look at it like this
He signed it, so it applies to him, not the citizens of this Republic , or this country
I also look at it like this…bring it , and your balls.. so we’ll have a small enough target to practice on
will not comply..dont have to ,,never will F -you
