UN global gun control conference begins in New York

[mrjarrell]

Well, looks like the international gun grabbers have started the ball rolling and our illustrious secretary of state is joining in. Here it comes, folks. Now we'll get to see their true colours.

"Nations open talks on world arms trade treaty," the Reuters headline informs us:

The world's nations opened negotiations on Monday on an arms trade treaty meant to regulate the $55 billion global weapons market...
​

"There are currently no legally binding international rules governing the trade in conventional weapons," The Associated Press reports, "and treaty supporters say gaps and loopholes in national regulations allow thousands of weapons to end up in conflict zones in the hands of serious human rights abusers."

Lobbying for the treaty is strong.

"The Control Arms Campaign, a civil society network including Amnesty International, Oxfam and Instituto Sou da Paz, has called on governments to draft a robust and effective treaty to control the arms trade, covering all weapons, ammunition and related equipment," Amnesty International declares.

Something that I have always found humorous...
Do you know who the top Arms Dealers in the World are?!

The Top 5 places go to the Countries that are the Permanent Seats of the UN Security Council...
China, France, Russia, United Kingdom, and the US.
Followed closely by German, Israel, North Korea...

After the supply of firearms is eliminated from conflict areas and human rights abusers, they'll be forced to find more creative ways to kill each other.

I keep wondering where the UN is keeping the millions of troops it would need to fully disarm the USA?

Part will be our military,plus the ones rhat are being trained by our military.

I often wonder how many troops it would actually take? (yes, I know...all break out the copies of Red Dawn!)

Also...would the various nations of the UN really have the stomach for a guerrilla style war that would sure take place on a large scale? The US is a big country after all...strategically defending the supply routes and holding ground would be difficult enough...

We would have federal registration long before anything like this took place. If only 10% of American gun owners live up to "from my cold dead hands" that's a lot of dead gun confiscators. If anything like this scenario were to take place it would likely be US law enforcement and not foreign troops that would conduct the confiscation.

Really?! I doubt that the US Military would be involved in something like this.

Probably closer to how it would happen...

This is old news and the conference isn't even taking place until 2-3 years from now. They try this all the time and we always tell them to skrue off. To know just how we will lose them, one only need to look back a few years at other nations that gave their rights away. You'll be asked to turn them in, be given a grace period in which to do so, then suffer SEVERE penalties when found to not be in compliance. Penalties so harsh that you would seemingly be a criminal if you didn't just comply. So harsh that it would SEEM foolish not to give them up.....England anyone? Australia? Germany(well I'm okay with this one)? Nothing short of all out revolution will stop it I'm afraid.

Actually Germany was part of the treaty from WWII...

We always *used* to tell them to screw off. We used to have people who placed importance on American traditions and values. Now we have Hitlery Clinton as SecState. I don't think I need to be any more specific than that, do I?

Didn't think so.

Also, just a general, friendly reminder that we don't discuss uprisings on here.. I know this is not fomenting or promoting, but comments like "a lot of dead gun confiscators" run pretty close to the line. Let's keep it within the rules, please and thanks.

Blessings,
Bill

For those of you who think that we are safe because any such treaty has to be ratified by the US senate, please think again. I do not trust any of them. Scott Brown from Massachusetts will probably turn out to be just a liberal as good ole Teddy Kennedy. Graham and McCain think that they are helping by being the big compromisers and working across the aisle with the liberals, progressives, socialists and commies. One of these attempts is going to succeed and gun registration and eventual confiscation will start. Slowly, but surely, the gun grabbers will pick away at us. How many of us will actually resist when a squad of storm troopers busts into our houses looking for all of our guns? I can see it coming and the squads and plattons of the bammer gestapo national security force will be led by the same type of gentlemen who were intimidating white voters in Philadelphia in 2008.

Your local enforcers and sheriffs will be in the lead, then the national guard and active duty troops. They don't need foreign troops to get this done. There are plenty of people in this country who will follow the orders of their superiors. They don't make the laws, they just have to carry them out. Let the courts sort it out.

"And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say goodbye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling in terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand. The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst; the cursed machine would have ground to a halt!" ~ The Gulag Archipelago, Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn

This is actually new news. The current conference is laying all the groundwork for the future treaty and the Obama regime, with the aid of Hillary is sending people to it, for the first time. They will likely get an agreement in principle and schedule more meetings to hammer out their final treaty. Nothing old here, this is the beginning of something new.

I recall a survey of Marines done during cllinton's admin., asking whether they would obey UN ordersto disarm US citizens. 44% said no. If there was an active resistantance to defect to, the odds of defection would increase--and there aren't enough police to control common criminals as it is.
Just a hypothetical discussion B-O-R!
Agreed Jarrell, lets hope that politics and the courts don't let things get that out of hand.

A "Treaty" is George Soros' way of making the US gun free. Thanks to him and his minions, Bloomberg, Rebecca Peters and the like, a treaty may supercede US law. That will be a sad day for the US. Our laws will be made by an outfit (UN) run by dictators and henchmen. The worst thing? Obama will embrace it. Pray it doesn't happen.
