| Obama Finds Legal Way Around The 2nd Amendment And Uses It |
| 2010-04-10 |
| On Wednesday the Obama administration took its 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. Umm, no, a signed and ratified treaty does not supplant the Constitution. That's con law 101. The Constitution is the supreme law of the land and can't be amended by a treaty. This entire article is just scare-mongering. 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. |

| #4 Don't forget (though I'm sure Bambi has, if he ever knew), he can sign all the treaties he wants, but unless the Senate consents, it's just another piece of paper. See, ie., Kyoto. |

| #1 I think that the treaties might be used as rationales to create enabling acts. Bloomberg has recently come up with a list of dozens of ways guns might be micromanaged out of the US. Remember that these swine are firm believers in gradualism and the "two steps forward, one step back" agenda achievement. |
