The treaty Secretary Kerry signed without authorization from the Senate would create an
un-Constitutional registry of all US gun buyers and would lead to the UN
controlling American’s gun rights.
Secretary of State John Kerry on
Wednesday signed a controversial U.N. treaty on arms regulation, riling U.S. lawmakers
who vow the Senate will not ratify the agreement.
As he signed the document, Kerry called
the treaty a “significant step” in addressing illegal gun sales, while claiming
it would also protect gun rights.
“This is about keeping weapons out of the
hands of terrorists and rogue actors. This is about reducing the risk of
international transfers of conventional arms that will be used to carry out the
world’s worst crimes. This is about keeping Americans safe and keeping America
strong,” he said. “This treaty will not diminish anyone’s freedom. In fact, the
treaty recognizes the freedom of both individuals and states to obtain,
possess, and use arms for legitimate purposes.”
U.S. lawmakers, though, have long claimed
the treaty could lead to new gun control measures. They note the U.S. Senate has
final say on whether to approve the agreement.
Sen. Bob Corker, R-Tenn., in a letter to
President Obama, urged his administration not to take any action to implement
the treaty without the consent of the Senate.
He claimed the treaty raises “fundamental
issues” concerning “individual rights protected by the Second Amendment of the United States
Constitution.”
The National Rifle Association blasted
the plan, claiming it would impose an “invasive registration scheme” by
requiring importing countries to give exporting countries information on “end
users.”
“The Obama administration is once again
demonstrating its contempt for our fundamental, individual Right to Keep and
Bear Arms,” Chris Cox, executive director of the NRA’s Institute for
Legislative Action, said in a statement. “These are blatant attacks on the
constitutional rights and liberties of every law-abiding American. The NRA will
continue to fight this assault on our fundamental freedom.”
Once again
Obama’s regime tries to end the Second Amendment by stealth.
