Many of you have heard of the U.N treaty on small arms. This treaty if ever ratified by the Senate would be an end run around the second amendment and our constitution.

President Trump has stated his opposition to this treaty and has asked the Senate to send it back to the White House where he can dispose of it.

Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) has just introduced legislation (S. 204) to remove the U.N.’s “Small Arms Treaty” from Senate consideration and send it back to the White House where it can finally be killed.

This Treaty if ratified will do the following:

• Mandate national “screening” for those seeking to own guns, giving bureaucrats the final say on whether or not you’re “competent” enough to own a gun;
• Restrictive licensing for gun and ammo sales, and perhaps even bans on certain types of firearms. This could include anything from semi-auto rifles to shotguns and handguns!
• Restrictions on the number of guns and amount of ammo any “properly-licensed” individual may legally own;
• Bans on magazines holding more than ten rounds; and
• Bans on owning a firearm for self-defense — unless a citizen can somehow demonstrate need and get federal government approval.

I received an email from Rand Paul requesting to sign a petition make a donation. I will post a few highlights of this email then provide a link to the petition. Whether you make a donation is up to you.

• As long as the Treaty is pending in the Senate, ratification is all that’s needed for this gun grab to become reality — regardless of who occupies the White House or their position on the Treaty!
• As President Trump stated, this Treaty would effectively “allow foreign bureaucrats to trample on your Second Amendment freedom.”
• In fact, after reading through the details of the Treaty, it’s hard to see how our Second Amendment could survive such an assault.
• Perhaps the worst of the Treaty’s provisions can be found in Article V, which mandates countries establish a “National Control List” — a record-keeping system to track “end users” of “small and light weapons” for a “minimum of ten years.”
• This is an International Gun Registry, clearly designed to include detailed information on American gun owners. Just imagine foreign dictators and governments having unrestricted access to a list of every American gun owner!

As you can see there is little chance that our Second Amendment and our gun rights would survive.

Remember that registration is just the first step toward outright CONFISCATION.

It Happened Again

As predicted in my last post more counties around the country are declaring themselves gun sanctuaries. In Virginia which has turned into a hard-blue state; recently, and who’s Governor and legislators are all Democratic they have promised some very restrictive gun control laws. It will be interesting to see how this plays out.

Here are two more articles about Virginia from Breitbart news:

• More Virginia counties declare themselves Second Amendment Sanctuaries.

• Virginia Sheriff will not enforce unconstitutional gun laws.

In an article from Reason magazine you will see that Counties in Wisconsin, Florida, Virginia, Arizona, and Texas became part of a growing “Second Amendment sanctuary” movement this month.

This article describes a Virginia House delegate Ken Plum saying: “The notion that you can have a locality void a state law by declaring yourself a sanctuary simply is not going to hold up in court.”

It is amazing how these Democrat’s see things two ways. It is perfectly fine to declare immigration sanctuaries but not gun sanctuaries. As noted in the article though, “Laws, at the end of the day, need somebody to enforce them, and many sheriffs and police officers in counties where Second Amendment sanctuary resolutions have been passed support their communities’ decisions.”

Patrick Henry had predicted this long ago. He was a staunch Antifederalist and didn’t want the constitution ratified. I will discuss his statement about why he believed that the constitution was flawed and how it led to the situation we are into today in my next post.
