This from Forbes:
Under the guise of a proposed global "Small Arms Treaty" premised to fight "terrorism", "insurgency" and "international crime syndicates" you can be quite certain that an even more insidious threat is being targeted – our Constitutional right for law-abiding citizens to own and bear arms.
What, exactly, does the intended agreement entail?
While the terms have yet to be made public, if passed by the U.N. and ratified by our Senate, it will almost certainly force the U.S. to:
- Enact tougher licensing requirements, creating additional bureaucratic red tape for legal firearms ownership.
- Confiscate and destroy all "unauthorized" civilian firearms (exempting those owned by our government of course).
- Ban the trade, sale and private ownership of all semi-automatic weapons (any that have magazines even though they still operate in the same one trigger pull – one single "bang" manner as revolvers, a simple fact the ant-gun media never seem to grasp).
- Create an international gun registry, clearly setting the stage for full-scale gun confiscation.
- In short, overriding our national sovereignty, and in the process, providing license for the federal government to assert preemptive powers over state regulatory powers guaranteed by the Tenth Amendment in addition to our Second Amendment rights.
What other amendments should we ignore all in the name of global equality? This administration has already assaulted the 1st amendment where they thought it prudent to make religious organizations pay for contraceptives against their religious teaching. You could argue the 10th as well - Limits the powers of the federal government to those delegated to it by the Constitution with its massive power grab via Obamacare.
Does the Constitution mean nothing to these people? Wait never mind don't answer that..
What was it Charlton Heston said about his "cold, dead hands"?
