Since last year the United Nations has been debating a U.S. sponsored international conventional Arms Trade Treaty (literally an international gun control law). Yesterday the ban failed to be approved because Iran, Syria and North Korea voted against it, but only because they don’t think the ban is strict enough: “The achievement of such a treaty has been rendered out of reach due to many legal flaws and loopholes….One of those flaws was its failure to ban sales of weapons to groups that commit acts of aggression…”-Mohammad Khazaee, Iranian UN envoy
Now realize that yesterday the UN also created its first offensive combat unit, the Intervention Brigade, to invade the Democratic Republic of Congo, and other African countries.
Also, remember the North Carolina cop who went public at the beginning of January, and revealed that martial law was expected to be implemented in three to six months.
And how about the fact that recently it was revealed that not only did Obama fail to close down Guantanamo Bay torture facility, but he’s spending millions of U.S. tax dollars expanding it! Currently there are about 166 people still held at Gitmo, so why the need to expand it?
And don’t forget NDAA 2013, where any U.S. citizen can be detained indefinitely without charge or trial, simply because they are ‘suspect’!
The Barack Obama supported UN weapons ban includes civilian ownership of guns, such as registration of the gun and the owner, to be maintained on record for 20 years.
The move to ban guns by the United Nations began in 2001, the same year as 9/11. It was called the Programme of Action to Prevent, Combat and Eradicate the Illicit Trade in Small Arms and Light Weapons in All Its Aspects.
At first the U.S. opposed it, but then in 2009 President Obama suddenly reversed the Bush administration’s position and said the U.S. would now support the Arms Trade Treaty. The UN General Assembly will try another vote next week.
