U.S. agrees to timetable for UN Gun Ban

[Pepsi]

The United Nations and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton are moving forward with their plan to confiscate your guns.

The United States joined 152 other countries in support of the Arms Trade Treaty Resolution, which establishes the dates for the 2012 UN conference intended to attack American sovereignty by stripping Americans of the right to keep and bear arms.

Working groups of anti-gun countries will begin scripting language for the conference this year, creating a blueprint for other countries when they meet at the full conference.

The stakes couldn't be higher.

Former United Nation's ambassador John Bolton has cautioned gun owners about the Arms Trade Treaty and says the UN “is trying to act as though this is really just a treaty about international arms trade between nation states, but there’s no doubt that the real agenda here is domestic firearms control.”

Establishing the dates for the Arms Trade Treaty Conference is just the first step toward their plans for total gun confiscation.

The worldwide gun control mob will ensure the passage of an egregious, anti-gun treaty...

. . .and that's where Secretary of State Hillary Clinton steps in.

Once the UN Gun Ban is passed by the General Assembly of the United Nations it must be ratified by each nation, including the United States.

As an arch enemy of gun owners, Clinton has pledged to push the U.S. Senate to ratify the treaty. She will push for passage of this outrageous treaty designed to register, ban and CONFISCATE firearms owned by private citizens like YOU.

That’s why it’s vital you sign the special petition I’ve made up for your signature that DEMANDS your U.S. Senators vote AGAINST ratification of the UN’s “Small Arms Treaty.”

So far, the gun-grabbers have successfully kept the exact wording of their new scheme under wraps.

But looking at previous versions of the UN “Small Arms Treaty,” you and I can get a good idea of what’s likely in the works.

Don't let any of the "experts" lull you to sleep by saying "Oh, we have it handled" or "Until you know exactly what's in the treaty you can't fight against it."

Judging by Ambassador Bolton's comments -- who certainly knows what to expect from the American-freedom-hating international crowd that infests the U.N. -- we are certain the treaty's going to address the private ownership of firearms.

If passed by the UN and ratified by the U.S. Senate (which is where we must ultimately make our stand), the UN “Small Arms Treaty” would almost certainly FORCE national governments to:

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

*** CONFISCATE and DESTROY ALL “unauthorized” civilian firearms (all firearms owned by the government are excluded, of course);

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

*** Create an INTERNATIONAL gun registry, setting the stage for full-scale gun CONFISCATION. So please click here to sign the petition to your U.S. Senators before it’s too late!

You see, this is NOT a fight we can afford to lose.

It's truly amazing how they can't understand how this won't go over very well at all. It's like poking a hornets nest. Just amazing how detached from reality these people are.

Maybe they think that they have gotten to the point were most of the world hates guns, and think that American's wont give up thier guns is just a myth.

Lot's of American's do just give up and hand in thier guns when ever thier local police do those programs were they give out free gift cards for walmart and other stores, in return they give up and hand thier guns in.

U.N. to Pursue Conventional Arms Trade Treaty
Sun, 2009-11-01 03:38 — editor
America
By Thalif Deen, Inter Press Service
United Nations, 01 November, (IPS): The United Nations, which is pursuing a proposal for "a world without nuclear weapons", will soon turn its attention to another new goal in the field of disarmament: creating a legally-binding treaty on conventional arms.

The proposed new treaty, which is expected to be ready for a U.N. Conference on the Arms Trade Treaty in 2012, will regulate the global trade in conventional arms, including fighter planes, combat helicopters, unmanned aerial vehicles, warships, missiles, battle tanks and armoured personnel carriers.

By an overwhelming majority, the General Assembly's 192-member Committee on Disarmament and International Security adopted a resolution Friday, after years of negotiations, that sets the stage for "common international standards for the import, export and transfer of conventional arms".

The General Assembly is expected to ratify the decision in early November, which is a formality.

Some of the world's biggest arms traders, including the United States, Britain, France and Germany, supported the resolution, which garnered 153 out of 192 votes.

The 19 states that abstained included two of the remaining major arms exporters, Russia and China, along with countries with active domestic arms industries: Egypt, India, Iran and Pakistan.

Also in that list were Bahrain, Belarus, Cuba, Kuwait, Libya, Nicaragua, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Sudan, Syria, United Arab Emirates, Venezuela and Yemen.

The only country to vote against the resolution was Zimbabwe.


No more personal military helicoptors or tanks.

Whose gonna try to take them? The South won't disarm. Those in the military won't disarm Americans and even if a lot of them would, the soldiers are all in the sandbox. That leaves the police and they don't have the manpower nor efficiency to disarm Americans.

For many all that is needed is Cash , gift cards, or free stuff.

It's truly amazing how they can't understand how this won't go over very well at all. It's like poking a hornets nest. Just amazing how detached from reality these people are.

If this timetable is about a gun ban, stupidity and aloofness is a possible explanation. It's not the only one though. Off the top of my head, I wonder if any of these are the case:
They simply don't care about how this affects them politically, and they're just going to keep ramming gun control down our throats over and over until eventually only the government is armed.
Many of us frequently refer to the Democrats and Republicans as two wings of the same party. At the highest levels of party leadership (or above, where the kingmakers are), I think this is truer than most people could possibly imagine. At the very least, they realize that both parties are in a symbiotic relationship that ensures mutual dominance of American politics, and they'll stop at nothing to keep things under joint control. The point is this: They could be doing this to deliberately give Republicans more momentum among voters and prevent real change (ours) from taking hold. The liberty movement is still weak politically, and a neocon sweep in 2010 and especially 2012 would set us back years, considering our political efforts are aimed at GOP takeover.
They might even want to deliberately boil the frog too quickly in this instance: Bringing on confiscations quickly enough would naturally spark armed confrontations. The MSM would obviously use these as a backdrop to justify government confiscation policies, and the onslaught of propaganda would momentarily quell public outrage...that is, until it's too late.

First they'll come for .22s: Cash for Plinkers

You may depend upon it.

Hillary and the one world gov. commies won't go for guns.....they are going to GET THE AMMO....

Stock up on ammunition now!!!

[Stary Hickory]

Let them try. That will be the fastest way to clean house.

Exactly this will be the beginning of the end for whatever administration who tries this.

I guess you missed the "conventional arms" part, even though you yourself bolded it.

This is serious.

[BuddyRey]

I wonder why there's nothing about this particular legislation on the GOA's website. You'd think they'd be buzzing about it right now.

Is the OP sure this is a legit story and not an Onion article? Not accusing anybody of fabricating of course, but I really don't want to believe this!

[Dianne]

Can't she spend her time more usefully by dragging Bill out of bed with every ho he meets? Is she just taking her frustrations out on us? Get a marriage counselor Hillary... get a private investigator to spy on Bill... but damnnnnnnn leave us the hell out of your madness !!!!!

[youngbuck]

I guess you missed the "conventional arms" part, even though you yourself bolded it.

This is serious.

Exactly what I was going to point out... The fact the the U.N. is out for America's privately owned firearms is no "theory" by any stretch of the word.

[Liberty_Tree]

I hope this isn't true.

[Zippyjuan]

The treaty will cover illicit arms trade in arms between countries. It says nothing about what residents of any country can own. That is up to them and their governments to decide.
