"Have no doubt that this plan is very real, with strong Obama administration support. In January 2010 the U.S. joined 152 other countries in endorsing a U.N. Arms Treaty Resolution that will establish a 2012 conference to draft a blueprint for enactment. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has pledged to push for Senate ratification."

Yup. On the same day the UN issued sanctions against Iran for sending guns, explosives and other fun stuff to Syria.

The very specific email Snopes refers to several years ago was false as they state, but the UN Small Arms Treaty is a large and very real threat to our 2A Rights now. There were over 60 senators that signed a letter to Obama stating they would not support this treaty if it came to a vote. I believe the US dropped out of talks earlier this year only because of the perceived damage it would have to Obama's re-election effort. It will be revived full force now and make no mistake that one of the UN goals is total disarmament. That is...except for them.

Here is an excerpt from an earlier post of mine regarding the UN:

The ultimate goal of the UN is complete disarmament. The UN believes the source of weapons for the illicit trade is ultimately tracked back to the legal trade, so the legal trade must be curtailed or halted in order to control illegal trades. The bold is mine for emphasis, but in the words of the UN "...this applies to ALL classes of weapons. In addition to nuclear they believe that "...the human and material cost of conventional weapons is also extreme. Of at least 640 million licensed firearms worldwide, roughly two thirds are in the hands of CIVIL society. The legal trade in small arms and weapons exceeds $4 billion a year. The illicit trade is estimated at $1 billion".

Another excerpt from their site..."Since the birth of the United Nations, the goals of multilateral disarmament and arms limitation have been deemed CENTRAL to the maintenance of international peace and security. These goals range from reducing and eventually eliminating nuclear weapons, destroying chemical weapons and strengthening the prohibition against biological weapons, to halting the proliferation of landmines, SMALL ARMS and light weapons".

If your not worried yet, here is the scary part...'''Established in September 2003, the United Nations Mission in Liberia (UNMIL) was charged with assisting in the disarmament, demobilization, reintegration and repatriation of all armed parties. The process was launched in December. Within 12 months, nearly 100,000 Liberians had turned in guns, ammunition, rocket-propelled grenades and other weapons. On 3 November 2004, Liberia?s warring militias formally disbanded in a ceremony at UNMIL headquarters in Monrovia. By the end of February 2006, more than 300,000 internally displaced Liberians had been returned to their home villages. After 15 years of conflict, the people turned out in massive numbers for UN-assisted elections in 2005, electing Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf as President.

A direct quote from their website..."UN Peacekeeping also employs the strategy of preventive disarmament, which seeks to reduce the number of small arms ...as well as collecting and destroying their weapons as part of an overall peace agreement".

The UN has created their own Holiday in October called "Disarmament Week".

This is perhaps the single biggest threat to 2A rights and really US sovereignty on the whole. They view the US and our 2A rights as the number one road block to their policing and control of the world as a whole under the UN umbrella.

Please read their official policy at UN.ORG website for yourself.

From NRA website..."On Wednesday November 7, the U.S. Mission to the U.N. made clear its support for renewed ATT negotiations, casting a vote in favor of resolution A/C.1/67/L.11. The resolution calls for a "Final United Nations Conference on the Arms Trade Treaty" to be held in New York City from March 18-28".
