THE UN GUN BAN TREATY

On Drudge today, there was an article about the UN’s gun treaty that would attack our Second Amendment like Sarah Brady on crack, however, it doesn’t mean a damn thing unless the Senate ratifies it AND we the people allow it to happen. Unfortunately for the Senate and the UN (who should be kicked to the curb and booted from this nation as fast as humanly possible), our history of keeping and bearing arms trumps anything the vermin in the UN can drum up. Indeed, any American politician who votes to subjugate our Constitution and our sovereignty should immediately be whipped, tarred and feathered, and booted out of the country in a New York second!

The Left had enjoyed decades of trampling on the Second Amendment, pulling off gun bans in DC and other "liberal" cities, all of which now languish under the rule of criminals and their enablers, i.e., Daley and the Chicago gun ban and those awesome flash mobs. Unfortunately for the Left and fortunately for us, the recent rulings of the SCOTUS now totally recognize that the Second Amendment clearly covers and protects the individual’s right to keep and bear arms. Indeed, Heller vs. DC (Holder was the idiot representing tyranny here), deemed that a gun ban deprived legal citizens the right to keep and bear arms which prevented them from defending hearth and home, against armed criminals, which went against thousands of years of the right of self defense and defense of others.

In reading the early State’s Constitutions, it is very clear that they guarantee a right to arms for the common defense of the State, which in actuality means, the common defense of the community against criminals. In today’s society this is called "justifiable homicide" because when an armed citizen kills a felon committing a crime (or wounds him for the police to arrest), that person has done their community a service by helping to keep the streets and environs safe for other citizens. So, if the UN treaty was to be passed, and the American people forcibly disarmed, two things would happen, one, criminals would profit by that action, as they have done in Chicago, for example, and two, the right to self defense and defense of others would be negated, which the UN, nor the Senate, nor Obama himself can do since that Right comes from our Creator.

For example, South Carolina's constitution, written in 1776, states very clearly:

"[H]ostilities having been commenced in the Massachusetts Bay, by the troops under command of General Gage, whereby a number of peaceable, helpless, and unarmed people were wantonly robbed and murdered... The colonists were therefore driven to the necessity of taking up arms, to repel force by force, and to defend themselves and their properties against lawless invasions and depredations."

As we all well know, the Battle on Lexington green began over gun control, as Redcoats were dispatched to disarm the Minutemen, who were deemed a threat by "the State." Other states followed suit as well:

1. "That the people have a right to bear arms for the defence of themselves and the state..." Pennsylvania 1777.

2. "That the people have a right to bear arms for the defence of themselves and the State..." Vermont (1777 and 1786)

3. The people have the "right to bear arms, for the defence of the State". North Carolina 1776.

4. "And whereas it is of the utmost importance to the safety of every State that it should always be in a condition of defence; and it is the duty of every man who enjoys the protection of society to be prepared and willing to defend it; this convention therefore, in the name and by the authority of the good people of this State, doth ordain, determine, and declare that the militia of this State, at all times hereafter, as well in peace as in war, shall be armed and disciplined, and in readiness for service..." NY 1777.

The states then, even New York, recognized the absolute right of an American to keep and bear arms and that the taking up arms to defend freedom against tyranny was appropriate and right. ("The militia of this State (NY), at all times hereafter,... shall be armed and disciplined, and in readiness for service...") Now before some Sarah Brady loving liberal opens up their suck hole, the militia WAS the individual citizen and they had the duty to drill to BE ready, on their own time. "I ask, Who are the militia? They consist now of the whole people, except a few public officers..." George Mason. The great patriot Patrick Henry stated: "The great object is, that every man be armed... Every one who is able may have a gun." It must be stated that "defence of the State" was the individual militia members responsibility and in a previous ALZ essay on the Second Amendment, it was noted that State’s often passed laws that all citizens shall be armed and those who could not afford a firearm were given one (with the necessary accoutrements) and then they worked to pay off the debt, doing whatever they were told to do by the magistrate, sheriff, etc! Moreover, that an unarmed citizen was an easy victim of criminals and tyrants was also recognized in their early constitutions.

John Adams wrote, as he defended the British soldiers who had opened fire on a mob of colonists during the Boston Massacre (1770), "Here every private person is authorized to arm himself, and on the strength of this authority, I do not deny the inhabitants had a right to arm themselves at that time, for their defense, not for offence, that distinction is material and must be attended to."

Not to be outdone, the Republic of Texas Constitution, written in 1838, declared: "the right to bear arms in defense of himself and the State." It is quite clear that the word "himself" means the individual, not the collective and it should be noted that Texas took their verbiage from the US Constitution and the Amendments therein. In 1871, the Tennessee Supreme Court ruled that an "individual" had the right to keep and bear arms for self-defense. In 1842, Rhode Island’s Constitution actually uses the US Constitution verbiage from the Second Amendment itself: "The right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed." Now liberals have used the term "the people" to point to the collective but nothing could be further from the truth, if one reads the 4th, 9th, and 10th Amendments, which grants the rights therein to the individual.

In conclusion, as of 2010, 27 states have introduced in their legislatures, bills that would nullify all gun registration laws within the state, and several states have passed laws that allow any firearms made and retained in-state are beyond the authority of Congress to regulate, under its constitutional powers. This is a huge victory for state’s rights in that it nullifies Federal regulations based on the fact that some parts of the firearm have their origins outside the state. In other words, a firearm made in Montana, that is sold in Montana, is outside their regulations! As we can clearly see, the mountain of facts support that the State’s Constitutions defend our right to keep and bear not only from a legal standpoint from the hand of our Creator. The UN is a Godless organization of petty tyrants and criminals, bent on subjugating the sovereignty of the US to their will. Therefore, quite clearly, the early state constitutions are strong evidence that the Founders, at the State level, confirmed their intent that the "right of the people to keep and bear arms" was an individual right.

And should the Senate ratify this treaty, then it is the duty of every freedom loving American to resist it and indeed, fight against the tyranny of it. Indeed, running the foreign scumbags in the UN OUT of the US and onto garbage scows in NY harbor, for transport elsewhere, is something the Gunny would love to see in his lifetime, preferably at the end of a whip, suitably adorned in tar and feathers (and a few boot prints on their elitist asses).
