Serious Threat Against Your Right!

by Don Bekeleski


There is a very serious threat to the 2nd Amendment in this country! The U.N. has been pushing this for years and there is very little news told about it. It is called CIFTA or.Inter-American Convention against the Illicit manufacturing of and Trafficking in Firearms, Ammunition, Explosives and other related material.

Notice the last few words—other related materials.

Folks this is a very broad coverage. The word explosives could be ammo, but most certainty gun powder is included under “explosives”.

A letter I received from The Citizens Committee to Keep & Bear arms contained the following:
“Here are some of the proposals included in the section of the U.N. report entitled, Measures to regulate firearms:"

1. A requirement for hunters to store their firearms in so called Sporting Clubs.

2. Allowing only smooth-bore firearms or shotguns, for personal protection.

3. Allowing firearm collectors to possess only those firearms that have been altered so they can no longer be fired.

4. Requiring firearm owners to establish “a” need for possessing their guns.

5. Requiring hunters to obtain insurance before hunting.

Generally to discourage the private ownership of firearms!

This treaty is being pushed by Obama to be passed in the Senate of the United States. If this passes in the Senate and is signed by the President, which Obama will sign, as he never read a gun right restriction bill he didn’t love, then our 2nd Amendment is out the window and the U.N. now controls the sale, flow and sets standards for all arms sold in the U.S.

It also sets up a national gun registration by having every gun owner purchase a Federal license to own a gun. It also requires that anyone who reloads will have to purchase a Manufacturers license, just like Remington, Winchester and anyone else that makes ammo. This information on you is to be shared around the globe with other nations that have signed this treaty—currently 29.

When John Bolton was our ambassador to the U.N. under President Bush, he told them no way will the United States sacrifice any part of our 2nd Amendment. President Bush also would not sign it, even if the senate passed it. We were safe then, but we are on shaky ground with this current administration. You won’t hear anything on the liberal news stations about this, because of course they want it passed. The polls are showing that 87% of Americans believe in the individual right of owning a gun. We really need that 87% to speak up loud and clear to our Senators that this is a gross intrusion on our Constitution and why should foreign nations govern our right.

I don’t think I have ever written a more serious article. Take a few minutes out of your busy lives to email, write, or call your senators! Even if you don't own a gun, this is very important!  Please pass the link to this article to all of your friends. There are many people who don't know about this treaty.

Webmaster's note:  Don found a copy of a news video on the internet where this treaty is reported on and discussed.  He would like everyone to watch it.  The ISRA was not able to find a version of this video that could be linked to from the ISRA website, but you can find this video if you do a google search on "Obama Pushes Anti-Gun Treaty youtube".
