If you follow what's been going on with the United Nations this year, you know that the USA came perilously close to having other countries dictate our gun laws.
And the fight isn't over yet. The United Nations has been debating an arms trade treaty for nearly a decade now.The focus of the treaty would be a demand that governments regulate the sale and possession of firearms worldwide -- all of them, including yours and mine. The proposed treaty is a
mechanism for Iran and other tyrannical powers to have a say in your gun ownership.But
bad ideas at the U.N. never go away; they just fade until the political climate changes. Treaty
discussions went underground for several years -- until the Obama administration announced a willingness to consider a new treaty,
as long as the parties operated under "consensus."The goal was to disgorge a treaty
in time for the Obama administration to sign it before Election Day,report the user's information to a U.N.-based gun registry and would have mandated that
every round of ammunition be tracked globally.What's really ironic here is that
the United States already has the most comprehensive system in the world for regulating international arms transfers but the reality is that the treaty was actually intended as
a mechanism to submit our unique Second Amendment guarantees to international inspection -- and condemnation.in late August,23 separate U.N. agencies, known as the Coordinating Action on Small Arms, adopted the first portion of International Small Arms Control Standards.
The ISACS text is made up of 33 separate modules, some 800 pages in total. And they're just getting started.This proposed U.N. global gun control treaty may not be an "invasion" in the classic sense of the word, but believe me; over time,
it represents the potential for encroachment of the greatest kind. [
