FAIRFAX, VIRGINIA --(AmmoLand.com)- NRA News’ investigative reporter Ginny Simone takes a look at the global gun control goals of the United Nations.
By pushing for a binding international treaty aimed at superseding the U.S. Constitution, the United Nations is committed to rendering Americans’ Second Amendment rights to own a firearm meaningless.
Simone interviews past and current U.N. officials and politicians and examines the debates at the United Nations Small Arms Summit to expose the international anti-gun agenda.

What is IANSA?
International Action Network on Small Arms says they are “The International Action Network on Small Arms (IANSA) is the global movement against gun violence – a network of 800 civil society organizations working in 120 countries to stop the proliferation and misuse of small arms and light weapons (SALW).”
What they really are is a well organized, well funded group of anti-gun partner organizations, including the Brady Campaign” from around the world, funded by governments that hate and fear the freedoms of the USA.
IANSA has one goal….to take a way the right of free Americans to own guns.

Shame on Simone and the NRA for not taking a look at Article VI of the Constitution (U.S., not UN). Here’s an excerpt: “This Constitution. . .and all Treaties made. . .is the Law of the Land. . .and the Judges in every State shall be bound thereby. . .the Constitution or Laws of any State to the Contrry notwithstanding.” [The elisions are not prejudicial.] You’ve certainly read the requirements attendant to amending the Constitution and you know they are rigorous, requiring large majorities of the States and of both houses of Congress (Article V).
To make a Treaty, though (Article II, section 2), requires only the consent of two-thirds of the Senate–no action by the House–and the signature of the President. Looking again at Article VI note that it makes the Constitution and Treaties co-equally the Law of the Land; neither takes precedence.
If the U.S. were to enter into a treaty purporting to vitiate the Second Amendment, that action could not be distinguished from an attempt to repeal the Second Amendment by amending the Constitution. Given that Treaties and the Constitution are co-equal (Article VI) and that amending the Constitution is a much more rigorous process than entering into a Treaty, it is not possible that the Courts would deem the Treaty to prevail.
Ergo, don’t worry; be happy!
Flavet:
Your explanation points to the obvious problem with this whole issue. That it would still come down to the supreme court having to make a decision as to which would prevail, the anti-gun anti-rights treaty or the 2nd amendment?
We have never put our constitution in that position, why would we do it now?
The USA should not even be considering this mass extermination of the one right that protects all the other rights of our constitution!
Ergo, more hope and change we don’t need.
Have to agree with AmmoLand on this one. The Bill of Rights is held to be inviolate by the Federal government. In other words, they cannot, in theory, pass any law, erect any regulation, or even express an opinion in contravention of the BOR (yeah, right!).
Just because they have the power to pass a treaty, because of the BOR, they should not be able to accomplish disarmament and an infringement of rights with a treaty. This would be in total disregard of the intent of the Constitution.
And why should we, the people of the USA, have to go, hat in hand to the same Fed Gov, and beg that they will defend our rights as spelled out in the COTUS and BOR? We know that the courts OFTEN make bad judgments (Kelo) that infringe on our RIGHTS.
What a fantasy world some folks live in.
It’s not like the US government hasn’t done things contrary to the constitution before. This, for example, of the Issei/Nissei confinement and divestiture of property during WWII. There was not then, nor is there now, any basis in the constitution for such an act. It took, literally, decades before anyone even got an apology and (as I recall) a lousy $80K for having lost large parts of their lives and all of their property.
If the current administration of this country wanted to sign off on such a treaty, the president could. The constitution requires the “consent” of the Senate, but it also provides that only the president can ratify it. What if he decides to ratify it regardless of what the Senate does or doesn’t do? How long do you think it would take for such an issue to get unscrambled.
Back during Franklin’s administration (and to some degree, earlier) the legislative branch of this country gave over control to the “secretary concerned” the right to right regulations that have the force of law. This has clearly been unconstitutional, but has never been challenged appropriately.
Think also of the almost constant acts of ignoring the Xth Amendment. The interstate commerce clause is violated daily in so many public laws that no one can even tell how many of them exist. Even the proposed Healthcare system is founded on doubtful constitution bases — the “general wefare” clause, at the time it was drafted, did not include medical care, but only security and safety. We’re not supposed to retroactively give meanings to constitutional clauses that were not included in their original meanings.
The courts, unfortunately, aren’t any better. If you think the SCOTUS will immediately come to our rescue, think again — Dred Scott, the Slaughter House case, the imposition of judicial oversight of redistricting, the imposition of judicial oversight of school desegration plans.
Some of this judicial legislation started out after good, appropriate judicial decisions — Brown vs. Board of Education was a correct ruling. But, it should have been the job of the administration to assure that the law of the land was carried out and that the states and school districts complied not only with Brown v. BOE, but also with the XIII Amendment, subsequent laws like the EEO, etc.
I’m afraid I just don’t have Flavet’s faith in our government.

Here is the little catch that everybody misses:
Article 6:
“…and all treaties made, or which shall be made, under the authority of the United States, shall be the supreme law of the land;…”
A treaty must be made UNDER the AUTHORITY of the United States. What authority does the United States have to violate the Constitution? Answer, NONE. Result, all treaties must conform the the Constitution, because no power not specifically delegated to the United States BY the Constitution is valid or lawful.
Mikey,
It will be made under the authority of the Us when ratified by the Senate and signed by the president and will be USED as a PRETEXT to overturn the 2A under the international treaty.
They want to disarm us. If they try, there WILL be a civil war.

The Constitution confers the power upon the President to make treaties with the advice and consent of the Senate. However, one of those treaties cannot contradict the Constitution itself, just like a federal law (the “supreme law of the land”) cannot contradict the Constitution. See Reid v. Covert, 354 U.S. 1 (1957) ( “no agreement with a foreign nation can confer power on the Congress, or on any other branch of Government, which is free from the restraints of the Constitution.”)
This worry over this treaty is much ado about nothing.
Saying it is unconstitutional is pretty weak. The Federal govt has violated the 10th amendment for years and no one does anything. The UN scares the crap out of me.
Never forget one thing. The commies believe the Constitution is a “living document” that can be twisted into saying whatever they want it to say.
They gush “tolerance” and “diversity”, that is , until they are confronted with someone else’s freedom that they don’t like or a truth that they refuse to see and then it’s all hands on deck to stonewall, cover, obfuscate, conceal, derail or confuse. Never before have the American people been in such peril of losing everything.
The current crisis is unsustainable in this mode and collapse is seeming to be imminent. Remember also, the authorities confiscated firearms from law-abiding Americans in the aftermath of Katrina. Never forget that! The United Nations has long cast a baleful eye on our Second Amendment freedoms. As time goes by, we’ll hear more and more about “One World” and “It’s for ‘The Children’” and similar catch phrases. They’ll say things like, “violence begets violence” and “guns kill people”! “We don’t need the 2A because there aren’t any more wild indians.” Or, “This is the 21st Century, we don’t need guns for anything”!
The heck with gold, buy lead. Cartridges, that is. If you want to hang on to your generator and food, stock up on ammunition before the fecal matter hits the air movement device. Once that happens, it will be impossible to buy at any price, almost. Merry Christmas to all. God Bless America. Every time I wash my hands, I say five Hail Marys for America.
May the new year bring many Blessings to all who read these words.
As the Court ruled in Marbury v Madison 1803, “All laws which are repugnant to the Constitution are null and void.” That’s all that needs to be said for any true Patriot. God is the author of liberty, and the granter of it also. Any action by this government that offends the Constitution is null and void, and if the elected parties commit treason they should stand trial and be punished for such if they violate in any official capacity our sovereignty. There are more of us than them. Stand firm in truth and liberty, live free and fight the good fight for the right, or live in slavery and fear. I stand with Patrick Henry…”Give me liberty, or give me death. If it comes to illegal force and denial of your Constitutional rights…then stand true to your beliefs and principles. This nation has been hijacked by bankers and corporate moguls who bought off most of your elected prostitute politicians who have betrayed you. The cancer is within and they serve only themselves. What will you do? Make up your mind…time is short. May God bless and protect those who are defenders of truth and liberty, and the innocent. Vote them out!
I couldn’t agree more with Mike G III’s comments. As citizens of the United States of America it is also our duty to defend The Constitution against any and all threats foreign or domestic. Any holders of public office who attempt to circumvent The Constitution will be removed from office any way we have to. We will not wait to vote them out, because that could be too late. If they do try to “come and take them” there will be war and I’m sure our forefathers will be proud of us.
Anyone remember recently the Pelosi comment when questioned about healthcare bill legality…”The Constitution? Are you kidding?”
The United Nations objective should not be to tear down our Constitutional rights. Nor does the US have any interest in restructuring the laws of any foreign country. Foreign countries have no desire to invade the US, because they know our citizens are trained and armed. Switzerland issues firearms to all of their citizens and trains them. How many wars has Switzerland been involved in, NONE. How many times has Switzerland been invaded by a foreign power, NONE. Nuff Said.
