Big Day For Gun Owners This Friday
Right now, the hate-America crowd at the United Nations is huddled with members of the Obama Administration - led by Sec. of State Hillary Clinton - to put the final touches on an international treaty that takes direct aim at the Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.
Too absurd to be believable, you say? Don't just take our word for it.
As Dick Morris recently wrote in The Hill, the Arms Trade Treaty (ATT) being hashed out behind closed doors at U.N. headquarters in New York City "marks the beginning of an international crusade to impose gun controls on the United States and repeal our Second Amendment rights."
And with the month-long negations over this dangerous treaty scheduled to conclude on July 27 - This Week - we have no time to waste to stop this dangerous treaty dead in its tracks.

The U.N. Arms Trade Treaty Exposed
The U.N. Arms Trade Treaty (ATT) has been in the works for a number of years.
Recognizing its threat, President George W. Bush rejected the treaty back in 2006 when the U.N. first voted to proceed with its development. But in a stunning reversal of U.S. policy, Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton are now supporting the U.N. negotiations and are working feverously to finalize ATT by July 27.
ATT supporters claim the treaty is designed simply to prevent illegal arms trade between dangerous rogue nations. But Second Amendment proponents here in the U.S. have studied it carefully and are exposing ATT for what it really is.
Chris Cox, Executive Director of the National Rifle Association-ILA had this to say about ATT:
"The U.N. wants to implement international gun registration requirements, bans on commonly owned firearms, tracking and registration of ammunition purchases, and create a new U.N. gun control bureaucracy."
"You might think that something so obviously menacing to one of our enumerated fundamental rights would receive a strong rebuke from our top government leaders. But you'd be wrong. This is President Barack Obama's vision for America, and we're expected to just go along with it."
Former U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. John Bolton also is sounding the alarm.
"The administration is trying to act as though this is really just a treaty about international arms trade between nation states, but there's no doubt...that the real agenda here is domestic firearms control."
Make no mistake: Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama are doing everything they can to deflect attention from these very real concerns, but if ATT is signed and ratified, the ultimate result will be over-burdensome gun registration requirements, severe restrictions on gun ownership and ammunition purchases and eventual outright gun bans right here in the United States.

Guess Which Nation Is Leading the U.N. Assault
on The Second Amendment...
The United Nations is often referred to as the "theater of the absurd" for good reason. And its appointment of the nation to lead the Arms Trade Treaty Conference would be laughable if the issue wasn't so serious.
The nation that is leading the ATT negotiations? IRAN
No, we couldn't make that up if we tried. Earlier this month, U.N. Watch, a human rights group that monitors the U.N., revealed that Iran was elected to lead the ATT conference at which the treaty is being finalized. As Hillel Neuer, executive director of U.N. Watch, put it:
"Right after a UN Security Council report found Iran guilty of illegally transferring guns and bombs to Syria, which is now murdering thousands of its own people, it defies logic, morality and common sense for the UN to now elect this same regime to a global post regulating the transfer of guns and bombs.
"This is like choosing Bernie Madoff to police fraud on the stock market."
Iran's role in leading the talks to finalize the U.N. Arms Trade Treaty is reason enough to oppose it. That this treaty takes direct aim at our right to keep and bear arms as law-abiding American citizens should render ATT dead on arrival.
America simply cannot allow any more of her sovereignty to be forfeited to the United Nations "world community" -- especially not the fundamental right that has protected us from tyranny for over two centuries.
The good news is we can stop ratification of the ATT. Under the U.S. Constitution, all treaties must receive the support of two-thirds of the Senate before they can be ratified.
That's why we must act right now to force at least 34 Members of the United States Senate to make clear, in no uncertain terms, that this effort to use the U.N. to eradicate the Second Amendment is dead on arrival - before Barack Obama signs it.
We must force 34 Senators to stand up on behalf of all law-abiding American citizens and say to Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton and the tyrants and despots that dominate the U.N., (to paraphrase former National Rifle Association President Charlton Heston) "From Our Cold, Dead Hands!"
Please stand with us now; demand the Senate speak as one American voice and decry any attempt to destroy our Second Amendment.
