Obama Supports Global Gun-Control Treaty

Lou Dobbs notes that Obama is in favor of ratifying CIFTA, the Inter-American Convention Against Illicit Manufacturing of and Trafficking in Firearms. The treaty would “prevent, combat, and eradicate the illicit manufacturing of and trafficking in firearms, ammunition, explosives and other related materials”. According to Gun Owners of America; “Illicit manufacturing includes reloading and modifying or assembling a firearm in any way, This would mean that the Obama administration could promulgate regulations banning reloading on the basis of this treaty”.

Obama has promised Mexican President Felipe Calderon that he would urge the Senate to take up CIFTA. He is doing this under the cover of the drug cartel violence in Mexico. Obama and Calderon quoted a statistic echoed by the corporate media that 90% of the weapons seized in Mexican raids were purchased from U.S. gun shops and a reason why the U.S. needs to ratify this treaty. In fact, this is a lie — only a mere 17% of guns found at Mexico crime scenes have been traced to the U.S.

CIFTA would bury the Second Amendment under “pertinent resolutions of the United Nations General Assembly.” It would criminalize ammunition reloading (defined as explosives manufacture) and gun assembly (including firearm kits and presumably breaking down weapons for cleaning or transport).

Language contained in the CIFTA treaty insists it respects “the principles of sovereignty, non-intervention, and the juridical equality of states.” Not mentioned is the fact the Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties has a superior rank to national laws. If the CIFTA treaty is ratified without exception, it would kill U.S. sovereignty and lead the way to destroying the Second Amendment.

It should be noted that only the Senate needs to ratify the treaty. Article II, section 2, of the Constitution states that the president “shall have Power, by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, to make Treaties, provided two-thirds of the Senators present concur.”

The United States was one of the first signatories to CIFTA in November, 1997. The Convention was transmitted to the Senate in June 1998 and to this day awaits the Senate’s advice and consent. 29 of the 34 OAS member states have ratified CIFTA. Only the US, Canada, the Dominican Republic, Jamaica and St. Vincent & Grenadines have yet to do so.

Despite Obama promising before the election that he was not interested in going after the second amendment, his first action as president was appointing rabidly anti-gun Eric Holder as his Attorney General.

Obama quietly leaked a gun ban list that would make millions of Americans potential criminals for owning certain types of rifles or pistols. Anti-gun legislation has sneaked its way into Obama’s stimulus bill and other unrelated bills as pork barrel.

Obama has made it clear that he supports the D.C. handgun ban calling it constitutional, but denies filling out a questionnaire answering “Yes” in supporting state legislation to “ban the manufacture, sale and possession of handguns” and assault weapons. [Source] Obama also co-sponsored a bill that would have limited American’s handgun purchases to one per month (fortunately it did not pass).

The result of Obama’s outward support of gun control, record firearms purchases and ammunition purchases across the country has skyrocketed. In San Francisco at a Daly City gun show people rushed gun tables buying up everything they can find, “everybody’s panic buying,” said a wholesale ammunition dealer, “when the doors opened people we’re running in,” “people are afraid the Obama administration will ban assault weapons.”.

If that’s not all, a new bill has been introduced to the U.S. House of Representatives titled the “Denying Firearms and Explosives to Dangerous Terrorists Act of 2009” (HR 2159). The bill would allow the Attorney General Eric Holder (the anti-gun creature that Obama appointed) to deny firearms to anyone that is suspected a terrorist. This is very disturbing because Homeland Security is currently assaulting free speech, flat-out calling U.S. Constitution supporters as domestic terrorists. [Source]
