Barr: "Perfect Storm" For UN Gun Control Agenda

Barr: "Perfect Storm" For UN Gun Control Agenda - 8

Former Georgia Congressman Bob Barr in an Oct. 26 blog-column in the Atlanta Journal Constitution warns that global anti-gun zealots are "on ethe brink of success."

"The folks at United Nations headquarters in New York City, and our 'allies' at Number 10 Downing Street in London, must be rubbing their hands with glee. Gun control groups here and abroad likewise are at last quietly cheering. Why?" he writes. "After a decade and a half of pushing unsuccessfully to secure America’s support for a legally-binding, international instrument to regulate the marketing, transfer and brokering in firearms, they are now on the brink of success. The process of formally negotiating an Arms Trade Treaty ("ATT") now has Washington’s seal of approval; announced October 14th by Secretary of State Hillary Clinton."

What would this for American gun owners, Barr asks?

" ... for Second Amendment purposes, a legally-binding instrument purporting to regulate illicit international transfers of firearms, would necessarily touch domestic activities. For example, in order to know and regulate international transfers, the UN folks would have to know what firearms were being manufactured, stocked, and purported to be transferred within each country," he writes.

We need to continue our vigilance. We have an administration that despises the Constitution and they trample on it everyday. For anyone who thinks that is harsh, government takeover of business, auto industry, the healthcare grab, these are all violations of the spirit and the letter of the Constitution. But the Constitution would stop them from their agenda, so in their minds, it needs to go. The presidential oath to protect and defend the Constitution from all enemies, foreign and domestic, was just another lie he told so he could destroy it.
The Obamanation is the greatest threat to the Constitution in my lifetime. I will be 60 next year. But I was born after Woodrow Wilson and FDR had both died, they were the threats when they were alive.

To Hell with the UN. Let them come and get them. Remember Charlton Heston's message at NRA meetings? "From my cold dead hands!" Exactly.

Patrick, the UN is no joke, unfortunately. They stand against everything the United States is all about. They are lying, jealous thieves who want our wealth without working for it, they want a one world government that will take from us and give to them. They need to be gone from the face of the earth. In their entire history, they have accomplished very little good and stood by and wrung their hands as their own soldiers committed horrible atrocities to wicked to discuss. And they have the gall to condemn us for our goodness.
