Americans will be unable to defend
themselves against the most violent armed force ever created: government
(Infowars) – Not to be outdone by Barack Obama and Hillary
Clinton in calling for civilian disarmament, the United Nations is taking
advantage of the Charleston shootings to join the chorus of confiscators.
In a statement issued on June 19 by the United Nations
Working Group of Experts on People of African Descent (yes, that actually
exists), committee chairwoman Mireille Fanon Mendes-France demanded that
“urgent measures must be taken to prevent gun violence.” Making a point of
distinguishing this crime for its effect on “the security of Afro-Americans,”
the UN group sent their “heartfelt condolences to the people of the United
States of America.”
If the United Nations has its way, there will much more to
mourn about in the United States of America. As part of the global effort
to grant monopoly control of weapons of all sizes to UN-approved “state
actors,” the Arms Trade Treaty mandates the forcible disarmament of all others.
The scheme was endorsed in the “name of the people of the
United States” by Secretary of State John Kerry on September 25, 2013.
“I am very pleased to have signed this treaty here today. I
signed it because President Obama knows that from decades of efforts that at
any time that we work with — cooperatively to address the illicit trade in
conventional weapons, we make the world a safer place. And this treaty is a
significant step in that effort,” Kerry said at the signing ceremony.
Promptly, Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon thanked Kerry and
Obama for their complicity in consolidating UN control over weapons and
ammunition: “Today, a number of countries signed the Arms Trade Treaty, pushing
the total number of signatures to more than half of all Member States.”
The secretary-general, as the depository of the treaty,
welcomes every signature to this important pact. At the same time, it is of
particular significance that the largest arms exporting country in the world,
the United States, is now also among those countries who have committed
themselves to a global regulation of the arms trade. He believes this will
contribute to efforts to reduce insecurity and suffering for people on all
continents. He calls upon other countries to follow suit.
Since the date of the treaty’s signing by Kerry, a number of
senators have warned President Obama not to try to enforce the terms of the
agreement by use of his infamous “pen and phone.”
In 2013, Senator Bob Corker (R-Tenn.), the ranking member of
the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, sent the president a letter reminding
him that:
As you know, Article II, Section 2 of the United States
Constitution requires the United States Senate to provide its advice and
consent before a treaty becomes binding under United States law. The Senate has
not yet provided its advice and consent, and may not provide such consent. As a
result, the Executive Branch is not authorized to take any steps to implement
the treaty.
President Obama knows this and he also knows that in March
of that year, 53 senators voted “to uphold Second Amendment rights and prevent
the United States from entering into the United Nations Arms Trade Treaty.”
Americans know something, too. They know that this
administration has never failed to use every murderous act of armed violence as
a pretext for tyranny. From Newtown to the Navy Yard to the latest atrocity
committed at a church in Charleston, President Obama has issued scores of
executive orders directly violating the Constitution’s explicit prohibition on
the infringement of the right to keep and bear arms.
In a statement made to The Blaze, Republican presidential
candidate Carly Fiorina pointed to this predilection on the part of the
president and bolstered her position, saying that “South Carolina has some of
the strictest gun control laws in the nation.”
As reported by The Blaze, “South Carolina is one of five
states that have an outright ban on open carry firearms.” Adding, “South
Carolina’s concealed carry law requires permit applicants to undergo
a background check, submitting two sets of fingerprints, and take a
state-approved class on gun safety before passing a written test and a live firing
range test.”
Regardless of the rigorous background checks to which one
must submit in South Carolina before being permitted by the government to
purchase a gun, the question remains: Why should any government possess
the power to disarm its citizens? Do I have the power to disarm my neighbor if
I believe him to be “dangerous?” Certainly not. If I tried to go over and take
his weapon I’d likely be arrested for trespass and assault. Where, then, does
government — that is nothing more than the collective expression of the
people’s natural right of self-defense — get the power to make legal for them
what would be illegal for an individual?
While the UN’s Working Group of Experts on People of African
Descent may be correct in calling the barbarous act committed at the Emanuel
African Methodist Church a “racist crime motivated by prejudice,” nothing in
the words or executive orders of President Obama would have prevented it from
happening.
The same goes for the Arms Trade Treaty. The
secretary-general, the secretary of state, and every presidential candidate can
claim that they want to talk about additional gun regulations out of
consideration for the safety of innocent people, but what they really intend to
do is take liberty from innocent people and leave those people defenseless to
do anything about it.
Arguably, the Arms Trade Treaty would become the law of the
United States if the Senate were to ratify the treaty.
While that is the process that the Constitution establishes
for the implementation of treaties, fundamental principles of construction and
constitutional law dictate that no treaty that violates the Constitution can
become the supreme law of the land.
In the case of the UN’s Arms Trade Treaty, there is no doubt
that regardless of presidential signatures or congressional consent, this
treaty cannot pass constitutional muster and therefore will never be the valid
law of the land.
Unless, of course, Americans once again acquiesce to
President Obama’s assumption of illegal authority and relinquish their rights
and weapons regardless of the reasons they should not do so.
This nightmare scenario took a giant leap toward reality on
Thursday, June 18 when 218 members of Congress voted to grant the president
“trade promotion authority (TPA),” the so-called “fast track.”
With this new power, the president is free to unilaterally
issue international executive orders that are binding on the United States, so
long as those orders concern trade.
Is there any question whether President Obama will use this
new power over “trade” to implement the provisions of the UN’s Arms Trade
Treaty? Somewhere, perhaps, a teleprompter is being loaded with a speech
mourning the death of so many innocent men and women and promising to “heal”
the country by making it more difficult for people to “own, buy, sell, trade,
or transfer” (the language from the ATT) firearms.
There is not a person of sound mind who doesn’t deplore and
denounce crimes such as that committed in Charleston. Senseless brutality
leaves us all scarred and diminishes our collective virtue.
Wise men, however, would also recognize that statements such
as that issued by the United Nations Working Group of Experts on People of
African Descent demanding that “urgent measures” be taken to reduce gun
violence will — as with all similar statements made since the establishment of
the modern state — have no effect on violence.
It will, however, leave Americans unable to defend
themselves against the most violent armed force ever created: government.

UN Agenda 21 requires the peaceful take-over
of the US. Obama will attempt to use the UN Treaty and Executive Orders to
repeal the 2nd Amendment. It’s time to impeach Obama.
