Global War Against Gun Ownership (in the USA) Continues at the UN

Here's an extract of something I just received from Gun Owners of America:
This week, the UN is putting the final touches on a treaty that could affect every single gun owner in the country. From what we know of the treaty so far, we could see:

* A ban on certain semi-automatic firearms (e.g., the Clinton gun ban);

* Registration of gun owners (and, thanks to the unconstitutional instant check, the framework for such registration actually exists in the United States, unlike many of the countries that are negotiating the treaty);

* The mandatory destruction of surplus or confiscated firearms, and;

* Mandatory micro-stamping of ammunition.

These are just the points on which there doesn’t seem to be any disagreement among the nations at the UN.

As you can imagine, if nations like Iran, Cuba and North Korea have an opportunity to impact U.S. gun laws (as they do through a seat at the ATT negotiating table), they will take it!

The GOA seems to see a danger in this treaty that many Americans either don't recognize as a danger, or they are totally unaware of the ATT and the unstated devastating potential of such a "treaty". If the Obama administration signs onto it, this treaty will be a continual threat to our security and our sovereignty.

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has let the gun grabbers at the UN know that President Obama is ready to sign the treaty as soon as the UN finishes up its work. That "work" is scheduled to be completed this Friday, July 27, 2012.

Contact your Senators to demand they OPPOSE the Global Gun Ban!

As with any treaty, it does require ratification by 2/3 of the senators present at the time it is presented for ratification. (We'll learn who the Senatorial cowards are at that time... they'll be recognized by their absence from the Senate Floor.) Pax...

Sorry, but such a treaty would have no LEGAL effect on the average gun owning American.

It's sad that people don't read the current laws and fail to understand what is legally required and what is not.

The insta-check program/form 4473 does not legally apply in the 50 states. I have shown that to be the case more than once.

Socialist Security is a great example of ignorant people taking action. The whole of the Socialist Security program was created under a treaty with socialist countries and has no LEGAL AFFECT within the 50 states of the union nor does it have any legal affect on citizens who live and work within the 50 states of the union.

--------------
In short this treaty will only affect us if we allow the uneducated and ill-informed to misapply the law like what is being done with Socialist Security.
