Gun-Grabbers Undermine U.S. Sovereignty
Gun-grabbers invariably argue that such proposals will diminish the ability of criminals to use firearms in the perpetration of criminal acts. They seem not to have gotten through their thick heads that criminals who by definition do not obey laws prohibiting crime are not dissuaded by laws against gun possession or use. In fact, as John R. Lott documented in his book, More Guns Less Crime, laws that facilitate citizen access to firearms correlate with rates of reduction in crimes of violence. What a surprise: Criminals don’t want to face armed citizens!
Many lives have been saved by an law abiding ARMED citizen. Less guns on the streets does not equate less crime. These are criminals we’re talking about here, they will find a way to get weapons, illegally! They don’t give a flip about laws. If they did, they wouldn’t be criminals now, would they! The first line of defense is an armed citizenry! People willing, and able, to stand up against tyranny.
Amendment II
A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed.
It is my opinion, this should have been the FIRST amendment in the Bill of Rights, because without our right to bears arms, we will have no other rights to uphold. They can quite easily continue the erosion of all the others, which we’ve already seen in happening with the 1st Amendment.
Gun-grabbers for some time have worked assiduously to induce the United States to sign a treaty that would curtail drastically Americans’ gun rights. So far, the United States has avoided taking such a drastic, unconstitutional step. But the Obama Administration could well bring a reversal of policy. Obama may want to do an end run around American gun owners by signing such an international agreement and subverting citizen rights in that way. The administration propaganda nonsense that the Mexican drug wars are fueled with American firearms could be a prelude to such a program.
Do we really want our sovereignty as a nation diminished? I don’t live in a One World mind set, and neither should anyone else. Do we care about the rest of the world? Well, yes, we do….to an extent. But if you have watched events around the world, do you really want to be like them? Like Great Britain, where competition shooters have to leave their homes, just to practice? Do we want to be overrun by drug lords, like Mexico? Will we allow a dictator, like Chavez? If this is the same America I remember, then the answer will be, not just no….BUT HELL NO!
The gun-grabbers are seeking to promote and implement a 2001 UN resolution calling for a Program of Action to Prevent, Combat and Eradicate the Illicit Trade in Small Arms and Light Weapons in All Its Aspects.
Supporters of the program have been trying to neutralize American opposition by alleging that the program and its supporters contemplate action against only “illegal” or “illicit” guns or military-style firearms.
The fact that the Useless Numnuts are involved should be the first LARGE red flag! We’ve seen how effective they are in curtailing anything! /snark The biggest problem here, the UN does not want lawful citizens armed, to defend themselves, their families, their homes, their nation. An unarmed populace are much easier to control. Well, I don’t need to be controlled, and neither do you. Well, most of you don’t. Some should be put in straight jackets, but that’s another issue.
The program demands the adoption and implementation, “in the states that have not already done so, of the necessary legislative measures to establish as criminal offenses under their domestic law the illegal manufacture, possession, stockpiling and trade of small arms and light weapons within their areas of jurisdiction, in order to ensure that those engaged in such activities can be prosecuted under appropriate national penal codes.”
We already have laws in place to deal with this problem. We do not need a body of useless tinpot dictators to force their views on us.
A prime mover behind the program is the International Action Network on Small Arms (IANSA). It defines small arms as “weapons that can be carried and used by an individual, for example, revolvers, pistols, rifles, shotguns, submachine guns and assault rifles.”
I have a few of those little ‘weapons that can be carried and used’. And if push comes to shove, I WILL use them! I am not a criminal. I won’t say I’ve never broken the law. I had a wild youth. But during my wild time, I never, EVER, carried any weapons, or even owned any. Why should I, as a law abiding person, be left basically helpless because some asswipe in Europe wants to control the world? Why should you? Many countries in Europe imposed gun bans before WWII, and the citizens were left defenseless. We know what the results were then. Other nations have imposed such bans. The results are not pretty. Do we want a repeat of history? It’s bad enough we are forced to register any personal firearms, because with registration, they can easily come to your door, to forcefully take your guns.
It *might* happen here, but who the hell is going to enforce it?? We can’t disarm nor pacify Iraq, and it’s about the size of Texas… Think about it…
Yeah, but sneaking in the back door is a whole lot different than storming through the front. And those people are nuts. I’d like to think we’re a tad more rational. We tend to obey the law, and if something like this became law, there are a lot of folks who would follow along, thinking it’s “all for the best”. Pfft!
Splog on…
I bet your pardon?
Well how about this ? Is it not wonderful that the united states won/ hear me won a seat in the united nothings for civil rights , with the third world nations which prefer to suppress all rights ? Now The United States is not going to have the nothings like bHUSSEINo and the united nothings who do not want a free nation delete our Constitution or Bill of Rights , nuf said . The trend is to squash freedoms as well as thinking Americans and give all the hand-outs to as many as possible so they will be happy and be nothings and never improve . Wrong !! A very great point is not here , work , I bought this and I earned it . To much is free with many and the point is it was free so tear it up , we will buy another later . A step up is the way . Education + work , winner .
