Obama Backup Gun Grab: UN Treaty Confiscation Vote Soon! (Video)

Section III, Paragraphs 7 and 8 of the Programme of
Action mandate that if a member state cannot get rid of privately owned
small arms legislatively, then the control of “customs, police,
intelligence, and arms control” will be placed under the power of a
board of UN bureaucrats operating out of the UN Office for Disarmament
Affairs.

Mission Creep: Will the
UN
On
November 7, the First Committee of the United Nations General Assembly voted 157-0 (with 18 abstentions) in favor of Resolution L.11 that will finalize the Arms Trade Treaty (ATT) in March 2013.
China, the United Kingdom, and Germany all voted to move the historic measure toward passage.
As we have reported,
when the treaty was being deliberated in July, the United States was
the only obstacle preventing the global arms control regulations from
being imposed on the world.
Miraculously, however, all the points of the agreement
Secretary Clinton found so distasteful
in the summer were made so much more palatable after President Obama’s
reelection, and every single attack on the right to bear arms remains in
the version of the treaty approved on November 7.
Within hours of his securing his reelection, President Obama placed a
late night call to the U.S. United Nations delegation ordering them to
vote in favor of a passage of
L.11.
As soon as news of the U.S. policy 180 was confirmed, a new round of
negotiations on the treaty was scheduled for March 18-28 at the UN
headquarters in New York City.
ALWAYS HAVE A PLAN TO SECURE YOUR FIREARMS AND AMMO OUTSIDE OF YOUR HOME AT A MOMENTS NOTICE.
That was immediately followed by
a press release sent out
early the next morning from the United Nations General Assembly’s First
Committee proclaiming the good news of President Obama’s go-ahead for
the gun grab and setting the agenda for the next gun control conference.
Also kindling discussion among delegations was a draft resolution
aimed at building on the progress made toward the adoption of a strong,
balanced and effective arms trade treaty. That text would decide to
convene the “Final United Nations Conference” for the creation of such a
treaty in March 2013.
Also by that resolution, the draft text of the treaty submitted by the
conference’s president on July 26 would be the basis for future work,
without prejudice to the right of delegations to put forward additional
proposals on that text.
The U.S. government was now placing its full weight behind convening a
“Final United Nations Conference” for the proposal of a treaty imposing
worldwide gun control regulations.
In July,
51 senators sent a letter to President Obama
and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton encouraging them to “not only to
uphold our country’s constitutional protections of civilian firearms
ownership, but to ensure — if necessary, by breaking consensus at the
July conference — that the treaty will explicitly recognize the
legitimacy of lawful activities associated with firearms, including but
not limited to the right of self-defense.”
The failure to pass an acceptable version of the treaty in July is in
the president’s rearview mirror, however, as Reuters reports that
“adoption of a strong, balanced and effective Arms Trade Treaty” could
be imminent.
Reuters quotes Brian Wood of Amnesty International:
After today's resounding vote, if the larger arms trading countries
show real political will in the negotiations, we're only months away
from securing a new global deal that has the potential to stop weapons
reaching those who seriously abuse human rights.
The definition of an “abuse” of “human rights” will be left up to a
coterie of internationalist bureaucrats who will be neither accountable
to nor elected by citizens of the United States.
With good reason, then, gun rights advocates oppose approval of this treaty.
After all, it does seem more than a little incongruous that a nation
that places such a high value on gun ownership that it enshrined it in
its Bill of Rights participates in an organization that opposes gun
ownership so staunchly that it has an
Office for Disarmament Affairs.
An office, by the way, that the U.S. Deputy Director, Office of Weapons
Removal and Abatement, Bureau of Political-Military Affairs, Steven
Costner,
proudly announced would be moving from Geneva to New York City.
Lest anyone believe the U.S. delegation official’s promise to Reuters
that “we will not accept any treaty that infringes on the constitutional
rights of our citizens to bear arms,” consider the fact that a report
issued after the conclusion of the last Arms Trade Treaty (ATT)
conference in July listed the goal of the agreement to be UN control of
the “manufacture, control, trafficking, circulation, brokering and
trade, as well as tracing, finance, collection and destruction of small
arms and light weapons.”
That is a very comprehensive attack on “all aspects” of gun trade and
ownership. Notably, the phrase “in all aspects” occurs 38 times in the
draft of the ATT. The United Nations will control the purchase of guns
and ammo, the possession of guns and ammo, and any guns and ammo not
willingly surrendered to the UN will be tracked, seized, and destroyed.
A question that must be considered is what the UN will consider
“adequate laws.” Will the globalists at the UN consider the Second
Amendment’s guarantee of the right to keep and bear arms without
infringement to be a sufficient control on gun ownership?
The effort at eradication of private gun ownership is more insidious than it appears, however. On page 25 of the
1997 UN Secretary General’s Report
on Criminal Justice Reform and Strengthening Legal Institutions Measure
to Regulate Firearms (of which the United States was a signatory), a
part of the regulations agreed to by the United States is the
administering of a psychological test before a person is cleared to buy
ammunition.
Apparently, the UN recognizes that without ammunition a gun is no more
than a club, so in order to effectively disarm a population, the UN
does not need to seize all the weapons; it merely has to prevent
purchase of ammunition.
How does the ATT (and
the Programme of Action that undergirds it) propose to enforce this anti-gun agenda?

UN Warns Texas: Don't Mess
Section III, Paragraphs 7 and 8 of the Programme of Action mandate
that if a member state cannot get rid of privately owned small arms
legislatively, then the control of “customs, police, intelligence, and
arms control” will be placed under the power of a board of UN
bureaucrats operating out of the UN Office for Disarmament Affairs.
This provision includes the deployment of UN peacekeeping forces in a member state to seize and destroy “weapons stockpiles.”
Again, no definition of stockpile, but by that time it will be too late to make that argument.
In order to assist these blue-helmets and their disarmament overlords
in their search and seizure of this ammunition, Section III, Paragraph
10 mandates that member states develop technology to improve the UN’s
ability to detect stockpiles of ammo and arms.
This will be made much easier when the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) gets its hands on the
portable invisible lasers developed by Genia Laboratories
(a company created by CIA offshoot In-Q-Tel) that can detect even trace
amounts of gun powder from over 50 yards away. The laser reportedly can
penetrate walls, glass, and metal. DHS is scheduled to take possession
of the devices before the end of the year, according to
testimony presented on Capitol Hill late last year.
The UN’s effort to collect ammo from those they wish to oppress (a
disarmed society is a slave society) is nothing new. The “shot heard
'round the world” on Lexington Green in 1775 was fired because British
troops planned to seize the ammunition stockpile stored outside of
Lexington.
Perhaps our reporting on the president’s late-night call putting the
wheels of global gun control in motion will awaken modern Americans to
the threat to our sacred Second Amendment rights. After all, it was a
late night call that roused sleepy colonists in defense of their right
to bear arms, as well. This time, however, it is not the British who are
coming for our guns and ammunition, but it is the United Nations and
agents of our own federal government.
