Governments will become more powerful and well armed, and citizens will see their right to own firearms disappear.
Now, the U.N. has moved on to making plans for implementation of the treaty, saying they are “committed to mobilizing the necessary political will and resources to implement the Programme of Action and the International Tracing Instrument,” and they are looking for clear results over the next 6 years. There will be pressure put on the United States to adopt this treaty and sign on to implementation and regulation that could very well be at odds against our Second Amendment rights.
The UN Small Arms Treaty will:
- Enact tougher licensing requirements, making it almost impossible for you, an individual, to own a firearm
- Require the government to confiscate firearms owned by individuals
- Place further restrictions on the sale of arms
- Create an international gun registry
We are pushing for support of S. 2205 and H.R. 4846, bills that will protect Americans from any U.N. treaty and keep our sovereignty in place. These bills are meant to be a safety net if for any reason, the Senate ratifies the Treaty, or an anti-gun President passes an Executive Order. We must protect our rights under the Constitution.
The U.N. is a bloated international agency that constantly has to give itself something to do. That is how wide-ranging, one-size-fits-all agreements bleed their way into Member nations that are as different as North Korea is to Canada; or as Iran is to the United States. That is why Iran was allowed to lead treaty negotiations a couple of months ago. Under the U.N. umbrella, all are equal. And usually, the United States and our Constitution is the enemy.

The ostensible purpose of this treaty is to prevent terrorists and radical regimes from acquiring weapons. But, let’s be real: criminals will never have any problem getting their hands on weapons. Law-abiding citizens like you and me, who wish to own firearms for protection and recreation, will suffer.
The U.N.’s ultimate goal is to make America weaker and more vulnerable without armed citizens on the watch against tyranny. Also, within the language of regulating us to death and gun registries is that tiny little question of, just who qualified as a “terrorist” or a “radical regime?” Is someone who disagrees with the government? Is it someone against one world government? Is it a member of the military? Is it a conservative?
Members of Congress have been relatively quiet on the issue—we are too close to the election for any of them to possibly anger constituents. But don’t take their silence to mean they are not seriously considering ways in which to limit your Second Amendment rights. Many of them want to push for gun control, but they are going to wait until after November 6th to do it. After all, they need to know whom they will be working with in the Oval Office.
This is a very important, “under the radar” issue that has been brewing for some time. Action is needed to bring the issue to the forefront and get Americans involved. As proud citizens of this great nation, we must fight for our Constitution and remind our leaders to do the same. We tend to ignore news happening within the U.N. until they burst open the doors and begin to trample on our rights.
The American people need to contact Congress immediately and let their feelings be known about the U.N. Small Arms Treaty, and we need to encourage them to do everything they can to campaign for conservatives and help elect Mitt Romney on November 6th.
Opponents of the Second Amendment will not rest, and neither should those of us who value our Constitutional rights.
