United Nations Arms Trade Treaty threatens national sovereignty, private gun ownership. Fax the Senate! Tell them to OPPOSE the Arms Trade Treaty!
American Conservative,
Barack Obama is the most anti-gun president in American history.
Not only has he continually urged Congress to craft legislation to disarm us and destroy our Second Amendment rights, he has also done - and is doing - everything he can to achieve the same ends on his own without Congress.
Just last week, a report noted that Obama's "paper gun control" agenda via the Centers for Disease Control will soon begin to take place, fulfilling yet another one of his twenty-three anti-gun "Executive Actions." (The CDC approach is aimed at using "scientific testing" to study and disarm individuals. See the study here.)
With this in mind, Obama's willingness to sign the United Nations Arms Trade Treaty - a major component of the global organization's disarmament agenda - comes as no surprise whatsoever.
After years of preparation, the U.N. Treaty was approved by a vote of 154 to 3 on April 2, and on June 3rd the doors opened for U.N. member nations to ratify it! Seventy-four nations have signed the treaty so far, and, sadly, our "leaders" have us in line to do the same, despite the Constitution.
In March, Secretary of State Kerry praised the "historic" Arms Trade Treaty and wrote that, "The United States is pleased that the United Nations General Assembly has approved a strong, effective and implementable Arms Trade Treaty;" last month he said that the president will sign it.
However, the good news is that Obama's signature is only symbolic without the consent of the United States Senate. This is to say that even if Obama were to add his signature to the treaty today, the United States will not yet be bound by its language.
The real battle is in the United States Senate - the body that does have power ratify and adopt international treaties. If the Upper Chamber of Congress accepts the Arms Trade Treaty then, and only then, will we be bound by the globalist language that the treaty contains.
If we want to remain a sovereign and independent nation under Constitutional rule, it is absolutely imperative that the U.N. Arms Trade Treaty be rejected.
Should Barack Obama's signing spark Majority Leader Harry Reid to bring the treaty to a vote in the coming days, we must urge Senate right now to vote against it!
Take action and demand that United States Senators oppose the ratification of the United Nations Arms Trade Treaty, else the United States be bound by supranational law not founded by the U.S. Constitution!
Just like the United Nations Small Arms Treaty, this Global Treaty is incompatible with the Second Amendment to the Constitution... despite what its advocates claim.
The Treaty would provide the United States Executive sweeping powers to regulate which guns can and cannot enter or exit our country. Further, this treaty is likely a stepping-stone to a mandatory international gun-registry.
Senator Mike Lee of Utah, one of thirty-four Senators who voted on a resolution in April opposing the Arms Trade Treaty, says that he will block the anti-gun U.N. effort "as long as [he is] breathing in the U.S. Senate."
In a statement, Sen. Lee said: "I have great concerns that this treaty can be used to violate the second amendment rights of American citizens, and do not believe we should sign any treaty that infringes on the sovereignty of our country."
Likewise, Senator James Inhofe has committed to oppose this treaty's ratification. The Oklahoma Senator says, "The U.N. Arms Trade Treaty that passed in the General Assembly ... would require the United States to implement gun-control legislation as required by the treaty, which could supersede the laws our elected officials have already put into place. It's time the Obama administration recognizes it is already a non-starter, and Americans will not stand for internationalists limiting and infringing upon their Constitutional rights."
In order to prevent the Arms Trade Treaty from carrying any force in the United States it must be rejected by the upper house of the United States Congress. We must make sure that we are making clear our demands and securing as many pro-gun advocates as we can to defeat this supranational attack on our Second Amendment!
Take action and tell U.S. Senators that you oppose the ratification of the United Nations Arms Trade Treaty!

Senate gun-grabbers are not a small minority - in fact, we have already witnessed their full-fledge assault on our right to keep and bear arms this year! We know that there are plenty of lawmakers on both sides of the aisle that seem to think that increased gun-control is "common sense" and that ignoring our God-given, constitutionally-protected liberty is acceptable.
When the "Safe Schools, Safe Communities" gun-control bill was tabled in April, we remember that Mr. Reid said that it's only a matter of time before he brings gun-control legislation back to the Senate floor.
The fact is, Senate gun-grabbers are far from retiring their agenda, and this dangerous U.N. treaty - which so many falsely claim is innocuous - would greatly aid them in their illegal and unconstitutional cause.
The Senate needs a 2/3 majority to adopt this treaty, and as Barack Obama adds his signature of approval we must make sure that we are doing all we can to stop the Senate from doing the same.
Like the United Nations Small Arms Treaty, this Arms Trade Treaty can and must be defeated! Will you send faxes, call Senate offices, and sign the petition to stop this attack on our right to keep and bear arms?

P.S. Tell the Senate to OPPOSE the United Nations disarmament agenda! Don't forget to send a free message to your U.S. Representative and both of your U.S. Senators! Sign the petition and message your lawmakers here.
P.P.S. Proponents of the U.N. Arms Trade Treaty claim that the international agreement would only regulate arms as they cross international borders and that the treaty has no power over arms within each nation state itself. This cannot be believed as governments always seek to expand their powers. Just like the "commerce clause" in the Constitution was intended to facilitate trade across state lines has come to regulate the crops one may grow in his or her own back yard, on his or her own private property, so does the U.N. A.T.T. threaten the private ownership of firearms with the United States as a whole. The United States must not ratify this treaty. Call your Senators and tell them to OPPOSE this international gun-control agreement! Find contact information here.
