Charlton Heston writes in "Guns and Ammo":

..officials from scores of nations convened at the UN to prepare for a major conference this July on "Illicit trade in small arms"...when they talk about illicit transfers, they are really talking about all transfers...participants in these schemes speak glowingly of a new "global norm of non-possession" of firearms...Often, such "Universal Declarations" become part of  international treaties, then all it would take  for the treaty's provisions to become domestic law of ratification by the Senate.  With the current 50-50 party split in the US Senate, such a scenario could get dicey fast...

Passing treaties, and enforceing them are two different things. If they ever try, I hope they still have the habit of wearing blue berets. Could they pass something like this, given the  norm for the international group of shit called the UN, yes, could they get it by the Senate????, but that is why you train, and prepare, always be watchful of these rights grabbers actions.

The disarmament nuts will do anything to make an end run around the second amendment.  Now that most constitutional scholars admit that the second means exactly what it says, i wouldn't put it past hillary and ted to look to the UN to over-rule their own constition.  Screw em.  I *have* a right to keep arms, and I'm keeping em, whether on the rack or in a bunker, either way is ok with me.

I doubt it. However, consider this. If such a thing were to pass and was enforced by blue helmets, how many of those guys wearing blue helmets do you think would be American soliders? It's likely many. Then what do you do?

no... I don't think it's feasable for the UN either.

You see these photos of modified humvees and such on American soil with the UN markings, etc... Umm, where is the vehicle made? Oh yeah.. here. I doubt we send our equipment overseas to get painted...

Geez, the UN is the least of our fears now. Take a look at Kali, NY, NJ, etc... The UN can't get a foothold with Iraq...!! and people worry they will come here.. lol

Tippie,

Well I will be standing beside Beekeeper while you try to change his attitude because he is right, anyone who tries to take our weapons even our own military become the enemy and will be dealt with accordingly. Oh by the way I would love to see you try to change my attitude when I am using our own traitorous soldiers wearing UN blue helmets as target practice.   If that treaty really happened and was actually ratified then it would mean Civil War and I would not wait until they came to my door to begin the fight. All the Blue Helmets and the people who help them in any way will become targets of opportunity and the streets will run red.   Sniper for Justice

PoppinFresh,

“Lets get realistic”,
Well for one thing the UN does not have to come here, all that has to happen is for the treaty to be ratified and then our own police and troops will do the dirty work, with or without the Damm Blue Helmets.

By the way if Foreign Troops were to try to take our weapons I think that would cause a full blown revolution. Can you think what would the members of the VFW and American Legion and all other patriotic organizations do if some of the same countries we fought against or helped sent troops to kill Americans. No one who loves our flag and our Country would stand for it.  Just a thought.

Sniper,

I think we are on the same team here.

When I say "be realistic", I mean we really have some epic struggles here, before the UN could even enter play. (Firearms laws that are unconstitutional)

They could come in and (Try to)take over tomorrow, can you say bloodbath? They would be decimated. I don't see this being a question for maybe 10-15 years.

I think what you are asying is they are eating us from within... Which is the point I was trying to reach (although akwardly).

As for Foreign troops rolling in,

I see all these folks here talking the "cold, dead fingers" spiel. I think you could agree these folks, collectively, couldn't fill a gallon bucket with water, without a fight breaking out.

It's just the impression I get. Granted, for every 1 of us that registers here, there are probably 20 that read and never post. ...and those are folks I count on.

This has been rambling, but, I keep trying to hold the faith. As a self proclaimed good ol' boy adjusting to the city life... ahh, screw it. I just want a cabin on a pond. (With BIG bass)

What I think is scary is our growing military dependence on the UN... If we need to fight a war that is unpopular with the UN we'd pretty much be screwed right now. We simply are not equipped to fight a unilateral action. Therefore, if this trend continues the UN will have one hell of a strong tool to use against us. "Get in line with world disarmament or we will not participate in the military action you so frequently feel the need to become involved in."

We are too, too dependant on that organization right now.

 The UN is an organization of pagan religions, and as such, it is your DUTY as a Christian to RESIST!  Actively or passively.  I can readily se the Feinsein/Teddy crowd using the UN to do what the Document prohibits.  And as far as "adjusting attatudes," you oath is to the CONSTITUTION, not some BLUE RAG and the color of 'law.'  Any cop or soldier stupid or venal enough to go along with a gun confiscation DESERVES WHAT THEY GET, AND I HOPE THAT I AM THE ONE WHO GIVES IT TO THEM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Not by force. We, the US, worked with the UN down in Kosovo - they are bunch of morons who hire cops to do their b#tch boy jobs. Without NATO or the US - the UN ain't sh#t. Worry about laws being passed that usurp your rights first - thats how they'll take guns away if, in fact, they do. Maybe I've been stationed in Germany too long - but nothing is impossible when it comes to STUPID laws. I'm a US soldier over here and cannot carry a personal firearm in a vehicle or have it on my possession on the Germany economy. Because of stupid laws.

Even assuming the UN did pass some sort of treaty to which the US was a signatory, I think there still has to be some implementing legislation (ie passed by the house, senate and signed by the president, just like any other legislation)to affect US law.  A perfect example is the Berne Convention regarding world intellectual property rights.  The US is a signatory to it, but we don't recognize or enforce major parts of the treaty, such as moral rights in intellectual property, because although they are recognized by the treaty and by many other countries, they are simply not recognized by US law.  That is, there has been no US legislation to support and enforce moral rights in intellectual property here.

The simple truth is they don't have to completely disarm us. All they have to do is continue the gradual encroachment and obliteration of our rights that they have been accomplishing. Once they get even remotely close to disarmament, then some sort of emergency or series of "emergencies" will provide them and their minions the opportunity to roam the landscape of America rounding up people and weapons.

"The illegal we do immediately. The unconstitutional takes a little longer." --Henry Kissinger

"What is important is to dwell upon the increasing evidence of the existence of a secret conspiracy, throughout the world, for the destruction of organized government and the letting loose of evil."  Christian Science Monitor editorial, June 19th, l920

"Since I entered politics, I have chiefly had men's views confided to me privately. Some of the biggest men in the United States, in the Field of commerce and manufacture, are afraid of something. They know that there is a power somewhere so organized, so subtle, so watchful, so interlocked, so complete, so pervasive, that they better not speak above their breath when they speak in condemnation of it." Woodrow Wilson,The New Freedom (1913)

"The governments of the present day have to deal not merely with other governments, with emperors, kings and ministers, but also with the secret societies which have everywhere their unscrupulous agents, and can at the last moment upset all the governments' plans.

First, I said that I would have to refuse this order.

Second, I would not order, nor allow an order of this kind to be issued to my soldiers.

LAST.  Neither will I take a firearm from my countrymen, nor will I support any orders to do so.

FROM ME:
I WILL NOT ALLOW ANYONE TO POSE A THREAT TO MY TROOPS. AND I WILL, TO MY LAST BREATH PROTECT THE SOLDIERS ENTRUSTED TO MY CARE.

Ya know, I am confused or maybe just having  a few too many Coronas, but when I joined the military, USMC, I took an oath that I would uphold the Constitution of the U.S. and protect my country and obey the orders of the president.
NOW, wouldn't it be contridicting and hypocritical of any U.S. serviceman to obey anyone or anything that changes or goes against the U.S. Constitution?
In fact, wouldn't that hold true for any government official who took the same oath?

Well, they could restrict the international flow of firearms and imports to this country. But the only people that could disarm us would be ourselves, with of course the prodding and suggestions of the UN.
Any point: There is a lot of talk of secret groups trying to take over the world. While I believe it is possible and they exist, I don't believe it is too organized. See, most of these people would want totally power right? But only for themselves, so while they are all working toward  a common goal, and following the same path, and consulting with each other, they aren't really "working" together. They may join an organization to promote their ideas and help influence leaders, it really isn't too centralized and controlled or directed from one group.
Another argument used to discredit to conspiracy movement is that it could not be secret. Too many people with too big of egos that want to feel important. Well it isn't, the information is out there, waiting to be found, but the people behind have found an ingenious way to keep the people deaf and blind of the progression toward tyranny: discredit all of those who do believe and have found out the truth. Portray them as nuts, crazies, etc. Pretty clever. Don't underestimate the intelligence of the enemy.
That's my opinion anyway.

Read the whole blessed thread.
Don't play with words either.
I said that neither me, nor any troops under my care would participate.
Not a contradiction.
Statement of fact.
Not former, reserve.
And I make the same final statement again.
My troops will not participate. No "blue" or any othe color.
If you choose to take an issue with me, NEVER threaten to hurt those that I am responsable for.
I don't think that you would want me, or those with me for an enemy.
I won't take your guns, but, don't take a shot at me.
I have no intention of finding anybody.
Get ovet it.
