The Second Amendment is precious to most Americans. The right to bear arms is, however, repulsive to liberals and they have tried all manner of maneuvers to take Americans’ guns from them. ✧ The latest tactic is to ratify a United Nations Treaty to regulate arms trade. The concept of the treaty was introduced in 2006 and was vetoed twice by the Bush Administration. The basis for the veto is the sovereignty of the United States Constitution and the unwillingness to subjugate our Constitution to any international body. [...] Now, Rep. Denny Rehberg (R-MO) and Rep. Ben Quayle (R-AZ) have introduced House Bill 5846, “The Second Amendment Sovereignty Act,” to counter the proposed treaty. The Bill would block funding for or the implementation of the treaty.
- Quayle said the “U.N. treaty is a direct threat to American sovereignty and the constitutional rights of all Americans. Congress needs to put its foot down, and make clear that it, not the United Nations, is the only body with the constitutional right to impose laws in the United States.”
