Forbes Piece on UN Weapons "Agreement"

U.N. Agreement Should Have All Gun Owners Up In Arms - Forbes

While the terms have yet to be made public, if passed by the U.N. and ratified by our Senate, it will almost certainly force the U.S. to:

1 Enact tougher licensing requirements, creating additional bureaucratic red tape for legal firearms ownership.

2 Confiscate and destroy all “unauthorized” civilian firearms (exempting those owned by our government of course).

3 Ban the trade, sale and private ownership of all semi-automatic weapons (any that have magazines even though they still operate in the same one trigger pull – one single “bang” manner as revolvers, a simple fact the ant-gun media never seem to grasp).

4 Create an international gun registry, clearly setting the stage for full-scale gun confiscation.

5 In short, overriding our national sovereignty, and in the process, providing license for the federal government to assert preemptive powers over state regulatory powers guaranteed by the Tenth Amendment in addition to our Second Amendment rights.

The UN is the "foot-in-the-door" to a World government. Desensitization. Our country already goes to war based on their approval. Congressional approval means nothing compared to UN approval.

We are so fucked. That's all we need, is to centralize ALL the power to these already proven sociopaths.

I'm not constitutional scholar, but I'm pretty sure there is something in there stating that no foreign entity can create laws that supersede our own. So it would also take congress repealing the 2nd amendment.
