    [h=2]U.S. Promises "Full Implementation" of UN Gun-control Agreement
    [/h]
    https://www.thenewamerican.com/usnews/constitution/item/29424-us-promises-full-implementation-of-un-gun-control-agreement


    the PoA places the enforcement of the provisions “into the operational activities of United Nations peacekeeping missions.”
    In other words, should the Congress and the president fail to begin seizing and stockpiling privately owned weapons “in a timely manner,” then the UN will deploy blue-helmeted peacekeeping troops to assist in the operation.

    Will they deploy from FEMA death camps during the Jade Helm after Obama's third term due to martial law?

    To anyone thinking "oh, it would never happen here, our gun culture is too ingrained", let me remind you that at one point Australia had the single largest, most well armed and well drilled citizen militia in the world. In less than a generation they went from that to being, well, Australia.

    Did the UN invade and disarm them? Because that's what we're saying will never happen here.

    Actually if you read the article it is talking about the US signing on to the PoA. The blurb was just to get the conversation started.

    Nothing personal, the article just struck me as click-bait and I generally don't click through to reward that sort of thing. The US signing on to a treaty isn't going to override the Constitution or our internal court system, nor is it going to bring the UN here to confiscate guns.

    In order to reduce ambiguity, see attached, the Program of Action in question. Or at least, the most recent version I can find.
    http://www.un.org/events/smallarms2006/pdf/PoA.pdf

    Some bits in particular.

    2. To put in place, where they do not exist, adequate laws, regulations and administrative proce-
    dures to exercise effective control over the production of small arms and light weapons within
    their areas of jurisdiction and over the export, import, transit or retransfer of such weapons, in
    order to prevent illegal manufacture of and illicit trafficking in small arms and light weapons,
    or their diversion to unauthorized recipients.
    3. To adopt and implement, in the States that have not already done so, the necessary legislative
    or other measures to establish as criminal offences under their domestic law the illegal manufacture,
    possession, stockpiling and trade of small arms and light weapons within their areas of jurisdiction,
    in order to ensure that those engaged in such activities can be prosecuted under appropriate national penal codes.
    If there aren't laws against it and it's not a criminal offense, how is it 'illegal'? Or is this some definition of the word I'm not familiar with?

    7. To ensure that henceforth licensed manufacturers apply an appropriate and reliable marking
    on each small arm and light weapon as an integral part of the production process. This mark-
    ing should be unique and should identify the country of manufacture and also provide infor-
    mation that enables the national authorities of that country to identify the manufacturer and
    serial number so that the authorities concerned can identify and trace each weapon.
    8. To adopt where they do not exist and enforce, all the necessary measures to prevent the manufacture,
    stockpiling, transfer and possession of any unmarked or inadequately marked smallarms and light weapons.
    Goodbye 'ghost guns'.

    9. To ensure that comprehensive and accurate records are kept for as long as possible on the manufacture,
    holding and transfer of small arms and light weapons under their jurisdiction. The serecords should be
    organized and maintained in such a way as to ensure that accurate information can be promptly retrieved
    and collated by competent national authorities.

    And hello National Firearms Registry.
    I could go on, but this is a wall of text as it is.

    All of which is meaningless. It's words on paper with no enforcement mechanism that most of the signatories do not comply with and it isn't even an actual treaty.

    It's still not something we need to be bothered with, but it's not a sky is falling situation.

    https://www.heritage.org/report/us-...small-arms-and-light-weapons-not-the-national provides a more realistic look at it. Note how many countries actually even comply with the reporting (almost none).

    Note how many countries the UNHRC sanctions. About 2.

    It matters not if anyone else reports or not, If the US became a signatory. it would be used as a bludgeon by all of the "enlightened" countries.

    I realize that the Constitution is our charter, that we believe the right to self-defense is unalienable and that it has never been infringed upon in the past. That does not guarantee that some progressive politicians won't try.
