House Bill Would Cut Off All U.S. Funding For U.N. If Anti Firearms Treaty is Adopted
2011-12-29
A major foe of anti gun rights efforts, and Tea Party favorite, Illinois Congressman, Joe Walsh, and 20 other co-sponsors have introduced a bill that would strip the United Nations of all United States funding if the UNÂ’s Arms Trade Treaty is adopted. Obama's State Department reversed its position against anti Second Amendment Treaties in 2009 after Obama put the United States under his heavy hand. Stripping American taxpayer's funding would be a good step toward sending the UN to Europe and on into oblivion, where it belongs.

The Bill blasts any treaty that would pose a threat to national security or infringe or abridge the rights of Americans to keep and bear arms or any other Constitutionally protected rights of our citizens. Citing the ConstitutionÂ’s Supremacy Clause, the Bill specifically forbids American United Nations funding if such a restrictive treaty is adopted.

However, on the unlikely chance that the bill is passed by the House and Harry ReidÂ’s Senate, itÂ’s a sure thing that ObamaÂ’s veto pen will be full of ink when the bill hits his desk.

Anti Gun Non Government Organizations such as IANSA, and domestic gun rights control groups are giddy with the prospects of the complete world ban of semiautomatic firearms and high capacity magazines. You know who these domestic terrorists are. IANSA works closely with the United Nations in gun rights control lawmaking.

#7  It'll be like Lebanon, where everyone but Hezbollah has to turn in their weapons.

#6  I suspect that they're just going to pass for trying to enforce it in Iraq or Iran.

#5  Someone said that the best way for evil to win was for good men to do nothing, and good men can DO NOTHING if they cannot arm themselves and defend themselves against evil doers.

I don't think this thing will fly in the ME, because I think everyone in Iraq has an AK in their attic or under the front seat of their car.

Cut it off regardless. Why are we funding our enemies, exactly?
