Anyone hear of this?

Look here.

Obama and Clinton are also planning to secretly relinquish all US sovereignty to the UN Security Council as part of a New World Order.

 

Either that or this is just another bs crackpot theory for people who desperately want to believe anything bad about the administration no matter how crazy.

This crap has been going on for years and years now. No one knows what is in the treaty, it has not even been written yet. No one knows what guns it will effect, and to what extent. Also, any treaty must be ratified by the US Senate as well. Everything you have read about it is speculation.

 

Of course, none of these inconvenient facts seem to keep the NRA, right wing bloggers, and every paranoid redneck from here to Idaho from freaking out about it.

You guys can talk this down and make fun of it, but it is a real treaty, it is really going forward and it will really come in front of the US Senate for ratification.

 

The Genesis of this treaty is not the current administration. This treaty predates Obama. Bush told the UN to shove it. Hillary and Obama have both signaled support for it and will push for ratification. Bank on it.

So is the UN now a terrorist group? they are trying to impede on our freedoms...are they not?

"U.N. Agreement Should generate massive amounts of page-clicks for Forbes Have All Gun Owners Up In Arms"

 

Out of curiosity, can anyone name one thing the UN has ever done, ever, anywhere, that was not an abysmal failure and complete waste of money, time and life?

 

This is a serious question; I just spent 10 minutes on the Web site and I still don't know what they do, other than write write strongly worded letters.

 

"Dear Mr. Dictator/General/Drug Czar/Warlord:

 

Here at the UN, we strongly condemn your continuing genocide. If you do not stop immediately, we'll be forced to send a second, even more strongly worded letter, expressing our even more outrageous outrage..."

Theres a good article on The Truth About Guns about this. Short version: this is not a gun grab, and there is no cause for alarm. Unless you're one of those gold and ammo hoarders, in which case you are worrying anyway.

What about silver and ammo?

You silver and ammo guys are cool.

The Truth About Guns take on the whole scenario

 

I've been following Farago's stuff since he was running "The Truth About Cars", and while he may be an opinionated a**, he makes passionate (and more importantly) logical arguments.

This has been floating around for like three years. It isn't going to happen, and for two huge reasons. The first is built into the Constitution and its Article II, Section 2, Clause 2 and the second is a Supreme Court case from 1957, Reid v. Covert.

 

It'll never happen, and if it does we're in deeper trouble than gun grabs.
