UN Small Arms Treaty - Global Gun Control Scheme

Defending the Second Amendment
Standing Up For Freedom
www.nationalgunrights.org


With willing one-world accomplices in Washington, D.C., gun-grabbers around the globe believe they have it made.

In fact, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton just announced the Obama Administration would be working hand in glove with the UN to pass a new "Small Arms Treaty."

Disguised as legislation to help in the fight against "terrorism," "insurgency" and "international crime syndicates," the UN Small Arms Treaty is nothing more than a massive, GLOBAL gun control scheme.

Ultimately, the UN's Small Arms Treaty is designed to register, ban and CONFISCATE firearms owned by private citizens like YOU.

That's why it's vital you sign the special petition I've made up for your signature that DEMANDS your U.S. Senators vote AGAINST ratification of the UN's "Small Arms Treaty!"

So far, the gun-grabbers have successfully kept the exact wording of their new scheme under wraps.

But looking at previous versions of the UN "Small Arms Treaty," you and I can get a good idea of what's likely in the works.

If passed by the UN and ratified by the U.S. Senate, the UN "Small Arms Treaty" would almost certainly FORCE national governments to:

*** Enact tougher licensing requirements, making law-abiding citizens cut through even more bureaucratic red tape just to own a firearm legally;


*** CONFISCATE and DESTROY ALL "unauthorized" civilian firearms (all firearms owned by the government are excluded, of course);


*** BAN the trade, sale and private ownership of ALL semi-automatic weapons;


*** Create an INTERNATIONAL gun registry, setting the stage for full-scale gun CONFISCATION.
So please click here to sign the petition to your U.S. Senators before it's too late!

You see, this is NOT a fight we can afford to lose.

Ever since its founding almost 65 years ago, the United Nations has been hell-bent on bringing the United States to its knees.

To the petty dictators and one-worlders who control the UN, the U.S. isn't a "shining city on a hill" -- it's an affront to their grand totalitarian designs for the globe.

These anti-gun globalists know that so long as Americans remain free to make our own decisions without being bossed around by big government bureaucrats, they'll NEVER be able to seize the worldwide oppressive power they crave.

And the UN's apologists also know the most effective way to finally strip you and me of ALL our freedoms would be to DESTROY our gun rights.

That's why it's vital you act TODAY!

The truth is, there's no time to waste.

You and I have to be prepared for this fight to move FAST.

The fact is, the last thing the gun-grabbers in the U.N. and in Washington, D.C. want is for you and me to have time to react and mobilize gun owners to defeat this radical legislation.

They've made that mistake before, and we've made them pay, defeating EVERY attempt to ram the "Treaty on Small Arms" into law since the mid-1990s.

But this time, time won't be on our side.

In fact, we're likely to only have a few days or weeks to defeat the treaty.

Worse, there's no longer a pro-gun Republican Senate to kill ratification of the treaty.

There's no longer any Republican in the White House who has stated opposition to the treaty.

And you and I know good and well how Germany, Great Britain, France, Communist China or the rest of the anti-gun members of the United Nations are going to vote.

So our ONE AND ONLY CHANCE of stopping the UN's "Small Arms Treaty" is during the ratification process in the U.S. Senate.

As you know, it takes 67 Senate votes to ratify a treaty.

With 40 Republicans, that should be easy, right?

Unfortunately, that couldn't be further from the truth.

First, you know just as well as I do that not all the remaining Republicans in the Senate are "pro-gun" in any sense of the term.

Second, even with the partisan rancor in Washington, D.C., many GOP Senators get "queasy" about killing treaties for fear of "embarrassing" the President -- especially with "international prestige" at stake.

They look at ratifying treaties much like approving Presidents' Supreme Court nominees.

And remember, there were NINE Republicans who voted to confirm anti-gun Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor.

A dozen more GOP Senators only voted against Sotomayor after receiving massive grassroots pressure from the folks back home.

So if we're going to defeat the UN's "Small Arms Treaty" we have to turn the heat up on the U.S. Senate now before it's too late!

That's exactly where this petition comes in.

So won't you click here to sign IMMEDIATELY?

And also, if you can, I hope you'll agree to make a generous contribution of $200, $150, $100 or even just $35.

With your generous contribution, I'll immediately begin contacting Second Amendment supporters through mail, phones and e-mail to turn up the heat on targeted U.S. Senators.

Tops on the list are the "usual suspects" like Susan Collins, Olympia Snowe, Lindsay Graham and the rest of the weak-kneed Republicans in the Senate whose votes we can never count on.

I also want to begin contacting gun owners in states represented by key Democrats -- like Senators John Tester and Max Baucus of Montana, Senators Mark Warner and Jim Webb of Virginia, Senator Ben Nelson of Nebraska and Senator Mary Landrieu of Louisiana.

And finally, I've designed a "special" hard-hitting program especially for Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid to let Nevada gun owners know exactly what he and his anti-gun pals have planned for you and me.

Facing a tough reelection in 2010, Senator Reid knows he's already skating on thin ice with Nevada voters.

So you and I could end up putting the final nail in his political coffin -- if I can pull out all the stops.

Direct mail. Phones. E-mail. Blogs. Billboards. Guest editorials. Press conferences. Hard-hitting newspaper, radio and TV ads. The whole nine yards.

Of course, if I can raise enough resources, my goal is to expand this full program to ALL our target states.

But that's not going to be cheap, and we may not have much time.

In fact, if we're going to defeat the UN's so-called "Small Arms Treaty," we have to start NOW!

So please click here to sign the petition to your U.S. Senators.

And if you possibly can, please agree to make a contribution of $200, $150, $100, or even just $35.

Every petition and every dollar count in this fight.

So please sign the petition and include your most generous contribution of $200, $150, $100 or $35 TODAY.

In Liberty,

Dudley Brown
Executive Director
National Association for Gun Rights


P.S. The Obama Administration just announced they would be working hand in glove with the UN to pass a new GLOBAL, "Small Arms Treaty."

That's why its vital you and I fight back IMMEDIATELY.

Please click here to sign the special petition I've made up for your signature that DEMANDS your U.S. Senators vote AGAINST ratification of the UN's "Small Arms Treaty."

FIRST THEY DISARM YOU, THEN THEY CONTROL YOU!!!

Airport Profiling/Take the Profiling Test

Senator's call to profile angers 'Muslim Mafia'.
The Council on American-Islamic Relations' Oklahoma chapter is calling on Sen. James Inhofe, R.-Okla., to meet with Muslim leaders to discuss his statement during a congressional hearing in favor of using religion and ethnicity as factors in profiling airline passengers. Read the latest now on WND.com.

A Fox News guest proposed having a "Muslims only" line for airport travelers, an idea that "Dayside" co-host Mike Jerrick called attention to it so that viewers did not overlook the proposal.

Conservative radio host Mike Gallagher suggested the idea during a segment Tuesday (August 15, 2006) with constitutional lawyer Michael Gross discussing racial profiling.

"Dayside" co-host Juliet Huddy set up the debate by noting that all terrorists have been Muslim extremists, and Jerrick claimed that some people oppose racial profiling as "politically incorrect."
"It’s not just a matter of political correctness, please," responded Gross. "It’s illegal, it’s unconstitutional, unethical, immoral, it shouldn’t be done. We do not in this country prejudge a person based upon their race, creed, color, country of national origin and it’s wrong to do so and it addition it’s not effective. It doesn’t work. It actually perpetuates the problem. That is, it separates us."

Gallagher responded that Gross's statements were "absolutely absurd" and claimed that the Traffic Safety Administration is aggressively targeting uniformed members of the military. "Let's have a Muslim-only line," Gallagher said, as Gross started to talk. Jerrick asked Gallagher to repeat what he said.

"It’s time to have a Muslims check-point line in America’s airports and have Muslims be scrutinized. You better believe it, it’s time," Gallagher said, garnering tepid audience applause.

Gross attacked the proposal as "absolutely wrong" because "most Arabs are not Muslims, most Muslims are not Arabs. You don't even have your facts straight. How would you feel if we had a line for the Irish, which the English proposed during the IRA problems?" He pleaded not to turn the United States into a "tyrannical, imperial country." Still, a woman in the audience asked a question about being "politically correct" by not allowing racial profiling.

Gallagher claimed that opposition to racial profiling amounted to not wanting to hurt people's feelings.

"Most Americans want prejudice. Let’s be prejudiced against those who want to slaughter innocent American men, women and children. It’s time we start exercising some prejudice and stop these bloody terrorists," Gallagher said, this time drawing more robust applause.

I have no knowledge of any other organization, political or religious, which is regularly boarding planes to use as weapons against innocents. Islam masquerades as a religion, but, in reality is nothing but a political agenda for oppression of all humanity. I know of no other group willing to run around with bombs in their butts in order to kill innocent men, women and children.

A lot of Americans have become so insulated from reality…

No, I really don't see a pattern here to justify profiling, do you? So, to ensure we Americans never offend anyone, particularly fanatics intent on killing us, airport security screeners will no longer be allowed to profile certain people.. They must conduct random searches of 80-year-old women, little kids, airline pilots with proper identification, secret agents who are members of the President's security detail, 85-year old Congressmen with metal hips, and Medal of Honor winner and former Governor Joe Foss, but leave Muslim Males between the ages 17 and 40 alone lest they be guilty of profiling.

Foot note: Fort Hood Texas ......another Muslim 39 years old killed 13 people and wounded 30 some odd others... Does this fit the profile!

Hint Of Team For 2012?



U.S. Representative Michele Bachmann (MN-06) announced today that former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin will come to Minnesota to assist Bachmann's re-election campaign on April 7, 2010.

"There is absolutely no one more in tune with the hearts and minds of everyday Americans than Governor Palin, and I'm excited to welcome her back to our beautiful state this spring," Bachmann said.

Both Governor Palin and Congresswoman Bachmann are well-known and respected conservative leaders whose bold and unwavering stances in defending the U.S. Constitution and commonsense approaches to issues like health care, taxes and government bailouts have attracted millions to their message.

"It didn't take the American people long to see through the extreme liberal agenda of President Obama and his Democratic allies in Congress," Bachmann said. "We saw American's frustration start in the form of tea party protests in states from coast to coast. It continued with the health care town halls throughout last summer. But we saw it come into full focus yesterday in conservative Scott Brown's victory in Massachusetts, taking back a Senate seat that was held by Democratic Senator Ted Kennedy for decades. The American people have spoken, and the momentum is clearly at the backs of conservatives heading into the 2010 elections."

Details about Governor Palin's visit will be released as they become available. In the coming weeks, please visit www.michelebachmann.com for more information.

Little Did Muhammed Know...

...HOW DEDICATED THEY WOULD BECOME!!!
The Muslim Candle
I could not resist any longer. As the controversy still rolls on, I must comment on the "Butt Bomber". The media has come up with "underpants bomber", crotch bomb, fire crotch, and more, to be polite. I, however, am so thoroughly sick of the political correctness crap, any hint of turning reality into rhetoric makes me twitch. I'm seeking help from a therapy group.
*
*THE BOMB WAS IN HIS BUTT*
The Islam community became outraged and has actually spent millions on advertisements, propaganda, and even hit squads, all over the famous cartoon of a bomb in Muhammad's turban. I thought it was a subtle but true perspective of what Muhammad started. I couldn't understand why the Islamic world reacted as it did. 1.) Islam made the cartoon well known, when no one would have remembered it, and 2.) The reality is so much more perverted and twisted when it comes to Islam.
*
White House counterterrorism adviser John Brennan was briefed in October on an assassination attempt by Al Qaeda that investigators now believe used the same underwear bombing technique as the Nigerian suspect who tried to blow up Northwest Airlines Flight 253 on Christmas Day, U.S. intelligence and administration officials told NEWSWEEK.

The briefing to Brennan was delivered at the White House by Muhammad bin Nayef, Saudi Arabia’s chief counterterrorism official. In late August, Nayef had survived an assassination attempt by an operative dispatched by the Yemeni branch of Al Qaeda who was pretending to turn himself in. The operative had tried to kill the Saudi prince by detonating a bomb on his body, but stumbled on his way into the prince's palace and blew himself up.

Umar Farouk Abdolmutallab's father warned the Embassy his son was involved with terrorist organizations and people were going to die. There was documented ties to al Qaeda. Umar was allowed to board an international airliner (flight 253) with almost 300 passengers to arrive in the U.S. WITHOUT a passport. Does this make your conspiracy alarms go off? That's normal---its what helps us find solutions.
*
Had it not been for an alert passenger willing to take action, a catastrophe would have taken place. There was a technical difficulty with a detonator and it lit up Umar's crotch. I will not literally draw the picture, but, I am in communications and negotiations with key people in hopes to honor Islam appropriately.
*
Since we have the Islamic symbols at the Memorial for Flight 93 , Americans who died because of Islam, I believe Umar and the entire Nation of Islam should be acknowledged for what they are willing to do in order to force their will on an entire globe. I ask only that you show your support in honoring this bold young muslim who puts dignity aside for such a noble cause of killing hundreds of innocents out of dedication to his koran, even though it was a failed attempt. All the more better to celebrate the notion.
Please support us in changing the name of the most popular fireworks from Roman Candle to Muslim Candle. (CAUTION: flames from bottom of projectile)
I figure it wouldn't be hard for you to sketch a mental image...however, we advise do not attempt to stick a Roman Candle in your butt as a form of mocking Umar---this can be very dangerous!!!
*
Hopefully, every time someone lights a 'Muslim Candle' for freedom, they will think of not just Umar, but, the entire Islamic Nation for giving it a go to take away those freedoms and oppress a globe. (freaky little muslims)
*
It is sickening to read the excuses made by and for the liberals which are the major cause for breakdowns in both security and foreign relations (respect). The lunacy of a Janet Napolitano, who focused everything on our returning soldiers and labeled them, and conservative citizens as being a threat to the country, stating, "The system worked," in thwarting this potential catastrophe. In a speech earlier in the week she told a group of people we need to find things to do for these radical 'home-grown' terrorists--- they are just bored (comparing them to graffiti 'taggers'). WHAT DOES SHE HAVE ON OBAMA?

C.A.I.R. is filing suits claiming muslims should not be discriminated against for their religious beliefs. Really?!! You mean the religion which tells you to kill everyone that doesn't believe like you? That religion? Uh, get used to the discrimination as more Americans wake up!!!

I switched to CNN just to see if they had any coverage of F-16s being scrambled due to disturbance on an airliner and they are STILL going on about muslims being inconvenienced @ airports. TO ALL MUSLIMS: either do not fly to U.S. or shut up and take it off. You are the only ones running around with bombs in your butts. FREAKS!!!

If you don't like profiling, start talking to your jihad brothers and stop the madness...don't complain to the people you are blowing up - it's so uncouth! Unfortunately, for you, Baptists are not running around with bombs in their butts, only muslims. Why should we look anywhere else? Why should we NOT inconvenience you? Why should you not show your butt on demand? You do it freely all the time.

I offer this suggestion--- don't fly to the U.S. if you do not wish to be singled out for questioning, as you would in any other country which deemed you suspicious. You know you can make noise and attempt to use our laws against us and for your radical agenda. If you do not like being 'profiled' I suggest you talk to your jihad brothers and CHANGE IT!!! Don't complain to me, and don't expect twisted 'political correctness' to keep bailing you out, as many Americans are waking up.

Just as Japan did, you are awakening a sleeping giant. The apathy will be replaced by patriotism and we will end up bailing out the rest of the planet from the assault of your sickness.

The muslims are now calling it opression, as we dare to take measures to stop them from killing us for not believing THEIR way. Attorneys General all over the U.S. are afraid to take measures to stop jihad training camps, as they claim it is their religious expression. (But they spend millions to remove Jesus)

The muslims claim Christians and Jews are such bad people they need to die. The fact is, I know of no Jews or Christians running around with bombs in their butts, but, if I did I would report them and expect them to be 'jacked up' at airports, in order to protect the innocent-- no matter what the cause.

Well Mr. Obama, you've aided and abetted the enemy in hopes they would like you and not attack us on your 'watch'; Guess what---they are still devoted to their koran which tells them to kill us. You thought you were so much smarter than all the experts pleading with you - YOU CANNOT NEGOTIATE WITH TERRORISTS!!!

A dozen Pakistani Muslim extremists in Lahore burned a Norwegian flag and chanted slogans after a Norwegian newspaper reprinted the famous Danish Mohammed cartoons and a Norwegian Member of Parliament changed his Facebook profile picture to the caricature of Mohammed with a bomb in his turban.

Government Against The People


Now that the tax-hungry Maoists we call 'Congress' makes its way back to Washington after the Christmas break, the charlatans who supposedly 'represent the people' are set to ram through government-controlled healthcare.

The fact is these people do not represent the citizens at all. Citizens have made it abundantly clear in poll after poll, in Town Hall meetings, and in Tea Party protests that they do not want this 2 trillion dollar government takeover of 1/3 of the nation's economy. Read more at the Examiner

A message from Michael Connelly, Retired attorney, Constitutional Law Instructor,
Carrollton , Texas :
Well, I have done it! I have read the entire text of proposed House Bill 3200 (pdf): The Affordable Health Care Choices Act of 2009. I studied it with particular emphasis from my area of expertise, constitutional law. I was frankly concerned that parts of the proposed law that were being discussed might be unconstitutional. What I found was far worse than what I had heard or expected.

To begin with, much of what has been said about the law and its implications is in fact true, despite what the Democrats and the media are saying. The law does provide for rationing of health care, particularly where senior citizens and other classes of citizens are involved, free health care for illegal immigrants, free abortion services, and probably forced participation in abortions by members of the medical profession.

The Bill will also eventually force private insurance companies out of business, and put everyone into a government run system. All decisions about personal health care will ultimately be made by federal bureaucrats, and most of them will not be health care professionals. Hospital admissions, payments to physicians, and allocations of necessary medical devices will be strictly controlled by the government.

However, as scary as all of that is, it just scratches the surface. In fact, I have concluded that this legislation really has no intention of providing affordable health care choices. Instead it is a convenient cover for the most massive transfer of power to the Executive Branch of government that has ever occurred, or even been contemplated If this law or a similar one is adopted, major portions of the Constitution of the United States will effectively have been destroyed.

The first thing to go will be the masterfully crafted balance of power between the Executive, Legislative, and Judicial branches of the U.S. Government. The Congress will be transferring to the Obama Administration authority in a number of different areas over the lives of the American people, and the businesses they own.

The irony is that the Congress doesn't have any authority to legislate in most of those areas to begin with! I defy anyone to read the text of the U.S. Constitution and find any authority granted to the members of Congress to regulate health care.

This legislation also provides for access, by the appointees of the Obama administration, of all of your personal healthcare direct violation of the specific provisions of the 4th Amendment to the Constitution information, your personal financial information, and the information of your employer, physician, and hospital. All of this is a protecting against unreasonable searches and seizures. You can also forget about the right to privacy. That will have been legislated into oblivion regardless of what the 3rd and 4th Amendments may provide.

If you decide not to have healthcare insurance, or if you have private insurance that is not deemed acceptable to the Health Choices Administrator appointed by Obama, there will be a tax imposed on you. It is called a tax instead of a fine because of the intent to avoid application of the due process clause of the 5th Amendment. However, that doesn't work because since there is nothing in the law that allows you to contest or appeal the imposition of the tax, it is definitely depriving someone of property without the due process of law.

So, there are three of those pesky amendments that the far left hate so much, out the original ten in the Bill of Rights, that are effectively nullified by this law It doesn't stop there though.

The 9th Amendment that provides: The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people;

The 10th Amendment states: The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are preserved to the States respectively, or to the people.. Under the provisions of this piece of Congressional handiwork neither the people nor the states are going to have any rights or powers at all in many areas that once were theirs to control.

I could write many more pages about this legislation, but I think you get the idea. This is not about health care; it is about seizing power and limiting rights. Article 6 of the Constitution requires the members of both houses of Congress to "be bound by oath or affirmation to support the Constitution." If I was a member of Congress I would not be able to vote for this legislation or anything like it, without feeling I was violating that sacred oath or affirmation. If I voted for it anyway, I would hope the American people would hold me accountable.

For those who might doubt the nature of this threat, I suggest they consult the source, the US Constitution, and Bill of Rights. There you can see exactly what we are about to have taken from us.

News came yesterday that during the 2008 campaign Barack Obama promised at least 8 times that all negotiations on healthcare reform would be done in the open, on C-Span. Today Obama has agreed, under pressure, to C-Span coverage...FOR 1 HOUR ONLY!

Transparency Is In The Eye Of The Beholder (Apparently)


Recently in the Washington Examiner, National Right to Work Foundation president Mark Mix discussed the Foundation’s Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) attack against the shadowy Obama administration, which is refusing to let the American people know more about the close connections between Department of Labor officials and Big Labor operatives.

As Mix explained, the Obama Administration has stonewalled on numerous disclosure demands, despite its promises of a new era of transparency.

After months of waiting for a response from the Department of Labor, Right to Work Foundation lawyers filed a federal lawsuit in U.S. District Court to force the Obama administration to fulfill its obligations under the Freedom of Information Act. Hopefully, this complaint will spur the Department of Labor toward greater disclosure.

The public at least deserves to know the extent to which union operatives are rewriting laws and regulations put in place to ensure minimal standards of union transparency and accountability. Read more about unions...

The National Right to Work Legal Defense Foundation is a nonprofit, charitable organization providing free legal aid to employees whose human or civil rights have been violated by compulsory unionism abuses. The Foundation, which can be contacted toll-free at 1-800-336-3600, is assisting thousands of employees in more than 200 cases nationwide.

During his campaign, Obama promised unprecedented transparency. Recently, in several public speeches, he has professed his administration to be "The most transparent" administration in U.S. history. Congress Democrats continue to make public anouncements proclaiming their transparency, even as they emerge from "locked door" meetings to form strategies in manipulating bills in which the majority of the American people clearly do not want.

In recent polls, it is believed almost half the country still strongly believes Obama and the Democratic Congress is on a path for the best interest of the citizens in both economic and national security issues. Almost half of the country! This defies reason and logic.

In my research over three decades I have found a significant portion of the population enjoys corruption in public office. It becomes an excuse, if you will, for the rationalization of society's own immoral inclinations. The narcissist in many people distorts their sense of awareness to consequences.

That percentage of public acceptance and apathy to government expansion in controlling our lives increases every generation, thanks to our apathy for indoctrination of our children in school and through media. In affect, with every generation, we are becoming more stupid.

It is clear major and drastic changes must take place in order to turn the country around, but, typically Americans are not willing to leave their comfort zones and commit to measures necessary. We are not willing to do what it takes, as a whole. As a rule, "Majority rules" or the needs of the many out weigh the needs of the few. Through propaganda and politics the needs of the corrupt few are now dictating what will be the majority's needs.

We have ignored the experts and history in dealing with the economy and foreign affairs. We have come to negotiating with terrorists, supposedly in the name of "PEACE". It would be nice if the liberal fantasy of all nations holding hands and singing "Kumbaya" was possible, but, it will never be. The corrupt portions of other nations laugh at the attempt. The "Peace" initiative could not even work among those who claimed to be dedicated to forcing on the rest of the world. Through their delusion, some of the 1960's 'peace movement' became killers themselves, to make their point, of course.

Just as the economy requires drastic measures or face certain consequences, so does foreign relations. Unfortunately, Obama has taken on a negotiation stand with Islamic jihad, taking steps to lighten the burden of those who wish us harm. Now, an enemy combatant will receive all the rights and comforts as would an American citizen, even though the jihadists are killing us BECAUSE of those rights.

James Robbins of the Washington Times writes: President Obama's freshman-year foreign policy was the worst in living memory. At the dawn of 2010, the United States finds itself noticeably weaker in international affairs than it was when Mr. Obama took office, and there are no signs of improvement in the year ahead.

Larry Klayman is suing the president for secret meetings with Planned Parenthood and other lobbyists on his plans to nationalize health care.

Klayman, founder of Judicial Watch and, more recently, Freedom Watch USA, filed a lawsuit in U.S. District Court in Washington, D.C., under the Federal Advisory Committee Act. The law requires disclosure of records of meetings between the executive branch and outside industry lobbyists. Klayman states Obama "violated his commitment to transparency." (Full story)

And let us not forget the most popular lawsuit of our generation, the transparency of Barack Obama, aka Barry Soetoro, regarding WHO HE IS, REALLY!!!
