Dear fellow patriot,

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 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 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 any 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.

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!


Every petition and every dollar count in this fight.

In Liberty,

I am so sick of these socialist bastards!
I hope in 2010 and 2012 they get what they deserve - a boot in the ass and a another one on the way out!!!!

[Texasjack]

Gosh, I'm surprised. Are you surprised?

Actually, what's surprising is how many people STILL believe that these socialists won't take their guns away.

I put a link to this story in the conspiracy theory thread thinking it would show that the stuff I talked about in the thread was not conspiracy and was in fact happening right before our eyes. Instead the only comments I got were about Jesse Ventura, I don't understand, whatever.
This is exactly how they will get rid of our 2nd amendment they will sign a international treaty and bypass most of congress. They are well on their way to selling out our soventry to a world government and most will not even look objectively enough to see it.

I still say we need to kick the damn UN off of American soil and burn that fucking building to the ground. The US has opposed this "treaty" since the first time they tried it back in the '70s. I think DOH'bama needs to make a phone call to Japan and ask why they didn't invade the American mainland during WWII before they even pretend to think about something as stuid as this. Last time that question was asked the Emperor responded with "because your citizens are armed."

[SiscoKid]

I just don't think this will hold water. As someone said, this has been tried for 30 years.

We are the only country in the world with a Bill of Rights and a 2nd Amendment.

When the NRA AND the GOA get really worried about this, and not just a "Donation Cry", I will get worried and start digging holes in my yard.

Here, here!!!!
Amen brother and pass the grenade launcher!!!!

[Dawico]

If this does come to pass, it might be the beginning of the end for our government as it stands. It is a good way to make alot of domestic enemies.

[M. Sage]

Not much danger of this becoming binding, though its passage for other nations wouldn't be a good thing for us as it would destroy imports of arms and ammo.

But this happening here? Very much a long shot because they would need 2/3 of the Senate to approve of it, and that ain't gonna happen any time soon. Still a good idea to keep an eye on it.

[Texas1911]

Sensationalist hogwash.

The UN has zero jurisdiction in the United States. They can't even control Africa, what makes you think they have any sway here? Besides this treaty is regarding the international small arms traffic to warring nations abroad, places like Somalia.

The Senate would have to ratify the treaty, and frankly, that just isn't going to happen. They can't even get a National Registry going, nor did they care about reinstating the AWB.

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

There is no Federal licensing requirement. There is a state requirement for Godless Communist Shitholes like Illinois, but that is their own problem.

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

The Gun Control Act of 1968 already defines "authorized" civilian firearms as those for sporting usage. We don't have any real problems with the GCA of 68'.

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

No state in the US does this ... what makes you think they can magically wave a wand to do this?

*** Create an INTERNATIONAL gun registry, setting the stage for full-scale gun CONFISCATION.

There is no jurisdiction for such a registry in the United States. It would be impossible to enforce without a US law supporting it.
