U.S.reverses stance on treaty to regulate arms trade

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The United States reversed policy on Wednesday and said it would back launching talks on a treaty to regulate arms sales as long as the talks operated by consensus, a stance critics said gave every nation a veto.

The decision, announced in a statement released by the U.S. State Department, overturns the position of former President George W. Bush's administration, which had opposed such a treaty on the grounds that national controls were better.

On Wednesday Obama Took the First Major Step in a Plan to Ban All Firearms in the United States . The Obama administration intends to force gun control and a complete ban on all weapons for US citizens through the signing of international treaties with foreign nations. By signing international treaties on gun control, the Obama administration can use the US State Department to bypass the normal legislative process in Congress Once the US Government signs these international treaties, all US citizens will be subject to those gun laws created by foreign governments. These are laws that have been developed and promoted by organizations such as the United Nations and individuals such as George Soros and Michael Bloomberg. The laws are designed and intended to lead to the complete ban and confiscation of all firearms.

The Obama administration is attempting to use tactics and methods of gun control that will inflict major damage to our 2nd Amendment before US citizens even understand what has happened. Obama can appear before the public and tell them that he does not intend to pursue any legislation (in the United States) that will lead to new gun control laws, while cloaked in secrecy, his Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton is committing the US to international treaties and foreign gun control laws. Does that mean Obama is telling the truth? What it means is that there will be no publicized gun control debates in the media or votes in Congress. We will wake up one morning and find that the United States has signed a treaty that prohibits firearm and ammunition manufacturers from selling to the public. We will wake up another morning and find that the US has signed a treaty that prohibits any transfer of firearm ownership. And then, we will wake up yet another morning and find that the US has signed a treaty that requires US citizens to deliver any firearm they own to the local government collection and destruction center or face imprisonment.

This is not a joke nor a false warning. As sure as government health care will be forced on us by the Obama administration through whatever means necessary, so will gun control.

Please forward this message to others who may be concerned about the direction in which our country is headed.

We are being led like a lamb to the slaughter (Socialism/Dictatorship).

I don't know who said this first but I hope the powers that be realize we are serious! :naughty:
I honestly think this gun grab would be the end of the union, I can't see states like Montana and Alaska going along.

I'm not saying that the UN gun treaty is not the real deal we need to be aware of but the article posted above was written in 2009. Here's text right from the article:

WASHINGTON | Wed Oct 14, 2009 11:56pm EDT

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The United States reversed policy on Wednesday and said it would back launching talks on a treaty to regulate arms sales as long as the talks operated by consensus, a stance critics said gave every nation a veto...

Here's probably some of the most recent news concerning the UN Arms treaty from Reuters. After the election, Obama reiterated the US commitment to supporting it. Talks will reconvene in March of 2013. Here's the link:

We're talking about the Obama Administration right? When have they ever referred to the Constitution when setting policy? I was only trying to point out that the article folks were getting worked up about was old news. Don't you think we should be up to date on the events that could effect and destroy our second amendment rights? If we, as ardent supporters of our most sacred constitution right, are not up to date and well imformed how can we ever effectively fight the very machine who is trying to take it away? I'm off my soap box now...

This was more up to date, thanks.
Sorry, didn't mean to start a pissing contest. Just saw something on TV the other day and that was the first thing that came up on a search of the net.

I just wanted to interject that yes, we all DO want to be kept up to date and thank you both for supplying the info that you had handy. Being informed, whether it's something old OR something new, as long as it applies to our rights as gun owners, is always welcome and I am sure I am not the only man on here that appreciates the input.

Raised awareness and diligence are our only defense.

Also, it's great to see gentlemen like yourselves making amends quickly and respectfully during misunderstandings. To me, the ability to give and receive respect are badges all by themselves.

Great info, great disagreement and teamwork to resolve guys.

I do enjoy this site and the men on it and am proud to be a member. :thumbs:
