The Attack On The Second Amendment Is Not Finished

The Statist-Marxists (self-termed “Progressive Democrats”) are by no means finished hacking away at the branch of the Tree of Liberty bearing the 2nd Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. The right of a free citizenry to keep and bear arms is a right the Marxist-Statists absolutely cannot tolerate. We have seen it all throughout history: Hitler’s Germany, the Soviet Union, Cambodia…all of the totalitarian states must take the firearms from the hands of their citizens in order to make them subjects.

Ben Franklin once said, “Those who beat their rifles into plowshares will plow for those who do not.” How simplistic, but eloquent in its truth. Bill Clinton kicked off the Brady Bill on November 30, 1993, and this was followed by what was termed the Bill Clinton Gun Ban that imposed drastic restrictions on firearms that lasted for ten years. What Clinton did not foresee was the severe backlash that occurred as a result from angry citizens that ended up propelling the Republicans to regain the House of Representatives after they had lost it for forty years.

This lesson was not lost on Obama, who preferred to attack the 2nd Amendment indirectly without the passage of legislation. Such actions are his attempts to control firearms with executive actions. The Arms Trade Treaty was adopted by the United Nations on April 2, 2013, and on September 25, 2013 U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry signed the treaty. This action was proposed before and argued over tooth and nail for more than ten years. The treaty went into effect on December 24, 2014, a quiet Christmas Present for the whole world that nobody noticed.

The U.S. Senate has not ratified it and will not ratify it: we know, it violates Marbury vs. Madison and is onerous to the Constitution. The problem lies in the fact that Kerry signed it as Obama’s representative and thereby made the United States a signatory to the treaty. What this means is the United States is now obliged to refrain from any actions that the treaty holds in its terms. One example of this would be a federal opposition to gun control, as this UN treaty clearly makes the objective of removing firearms from every human being on the planet not sanctioned, certified, and approved in the service of a government. Here are a couple of points to this:

The government must (will) take the guns.
They have to take them prior to the economic collapse.

Dave T: Good luck with gun confiscation. They will need it. Not gonna happen. This is America, and there are people who still believe in it. You want a civil war? Try confiscating guns, and that wish will be granted. And once again the soil of this nation will be saturated red with the blood of those embroiled in the conflict.

Picture this.
The government orders the police to confiscate the guns from their already established list of owners.
The sheriff asks for volunteers.
Not one deputy raises his hand.
They know what will happen to them.
You know it, too.
Cheer that, jack.

Glad some of you pay attention. Of course our a liar in chief had to come on tv today and give us another freakin Americans are so stupid speech. Of course he had to bring up the subject of guns again and of course you stupid Americans sell them in our this country and terrorists can access them! So you dont deserve to access either. Screw him and his rainbow attack squads. They are in every nook and cranny lieing, deceiving, creating hostility, confusion. All part of their stupid plan. If they plan to impose UN agenda 21 on the USA it will be bloody.
