United Nations
As a understand it there were two bills in the United Nations, one concerning the Environment (This last environmental conference Mr. Obama attended) and containing clauses that would have placed our privately owned firearms in the same class a nuclear weapons. The second bill as I understand it is just a out right ban on personal weapons as selfdefense is not a recognized right as a the United Nations sees it. Apparently Hillery speaking on the behalf of the president is promoting this second agreement.
I am NOT a lawyer. Does someone know more about this then the feeble information I have above and if so, is it true that our constitution right to bear arms could be bypassed under international treaty and not subject to review by the Supreme Court?

They'd really like to do it, & have been toeing the line for a long time. What they are not ready for is the resulting civil unrest (revolt) that it would trigger. That's why they are picking away at our rights little by little.

Bills in the United Nations? Never thought of the UN as a legislative body. As for international treaties, they fall under both the need for senate confirmation and judicial review.

They are running out of options as far as the whole "Global Warming", "Climate Change", "whatever you want to call it" scare is concerned. People are starting to actually look at the science and realize that we don't have a problem and they are being lied to. There is a reason why the Vikings were farming in Greenland and they were growing grapes in Scotland during the middle ages. There is also a reason why those Viking graves in Greenland are now under permafrost and it's hard to grow anything in Scotland. They always try to scare you into believing there is a massive problem that only they can fix.

Same with any law, ordnance, rule, regulation, edict, etc....
You can make them all you want, but do you have will and the ability to enforce it??? Are the UN officials so arrogant to think I really give a rats @$$ about what they want. |

I visited the UN as a child and wrote a paper about it. They implanted the chip then.
My 6th grade teacher loved the UN and Unicef.

OK, how's this:
Here is a link to the U.N.'s Disarmament site. If you want the info straight from the source, it is here: http://www.un.org/disarmament/ Links include: Conventional Arms Small Arms / Armed Violence, Arms Trade Treaty, Transparency Registers, Ammunition, Landmines, Certain Conventional Weapons & Cluster Munitions Should provide the info the OP requested. Although, there may be a boat load of questions about the international legalize used.

How Old is Old?
This is all backed by AI. Heck they have a website and having been working on it for years:
http://www.controlarms.org/en This is what they want: http://www.controlarms.org/en/docume...arms-transfers This is what that have gotten so far:

This is another one of those urban legend things that happens either because someone is paranoid, or because they don't understand the definition of "international arms smuggling," or both.

But Glenn!
For 3 years I gave up candy on Halloween to walk the hills of Priest Lake with my little Unicef change bucket. Was I duped.
Made of for the lack of adequate sugar highs latter in life. Good Luck & Be Safe

When I trick or treated for Unicef, I dressed as soldier with a plastic tin pot and a realistic 1911 that shot plastic bullets. That was a different time.
