MOLON LABE

The Greek phrase Molōn labe means: "Come and take them." This is what was reportedly stated by King Leonidas in response to the Persian army's demand for them to drop their weapons.

A person free to keep and bear arms is a citizen. A person unable to do so is little more than a slave.

What supporters of the UN Small Arms Ban do not seem to care or bother to realize is that there are groups who are legitimately seeking to free themselves from the oppression of a tyrant or a tyrannical government. This does not include groups like the Palestinians who have no state simply due to their refusal to not only accept the existence of Israel but also their rejection of a two-state solution over and over. A real non-state group or "actor" would, for example, the Kurds, who fought against the murderous regime of Saddam Hussein, with little backing of the free world. They would have a legitimate right and a legitimate need to procure arms whereas, the Palestinians do not. The UN Small Arms Treaty would prevent the Kurds from getting those weapons and would instead force them to rely on the UN for help, justice, assistance, etc, a reliance that when looked at from a historical standpoint, is dangerous at the least, lethal at best. Just ask the Muslim men and boys at Srebrenica.

Who was a non-state actor in 1775? That would be the fledgling United States of America. Imagine us trying to create a nation in, say, 2012, after (if) this crap is passed and foisted on the world. We would literally be nothing more than unarmed rabble fighting against the finest military in the world; which would be like a stone age group fighting against the US Marines. Like the Obama Regime, it would be an epic failure from the outset. If the reader has taken the time to review the links posted in the essay discussing the UN Small Arms Treaty, the governments in approval of this treaty are some of the most oppressive in the world today. For example, the Chinese employ slave workers, er, prisoners, in order to manufacture goods cheaply for their economy. The Chinese would not look favorably on the Tibetans getting their hands on modern weaponry and fighting to free themselves of Chinese rule. Indeed, the Chinese have been working for decades to isolate Taiwan (a rogue province) from the US (and from the arms we sell them) and appear to have finally succeeded with the help of the Obama Regime. Little wonder why they endorse a small arms treaty from the UN that they can ignore at their leisure.

Think back to the Iranian elections and the fact that the students and people were in a semi-revolt against the Half Pint running the show there and had they been able to secure arms or if they had had them at hand, it might have been impossible for the Angry Dwarf to berate and criticize the US at the UN the other day. It is quite clear that a small arms ban works to support tyrants and "global governments" as the UN/EU so desperately want to be and against freedom loving people. Only a regime that is oppressive, unpopular, and that lacks legitimacy would seek to enslave its people with such a treaty. Consider that Hugo Chavez, the wannabe tinpot dictator in Venezuela, now losing support on a scale bigger than Obama, who has real reason to fear a popular uprising demanding that their country be freed of a socialist idiot and a return of their country to the prosperous state it used to be, before Chavez took over and nationalized everything in sight. Now the shelves are empty, bellies are empty, and they’re on the path to becoming the Latin American equivalent of Zimbabwe. The UN would prevent these people from the wherewithal to free themselves from under Chavez’s boot.

During WW1, the British armed the Arabs to fight against the Turks and for freedom. In WW2, the British and the Americans armed the Marquis, the Greek underground, the Poles in exile in Britain, the Filipino freedom-fighters, etc, all non-state groups since their nations were either vanquished or occupied and no longer "their" nation. We’ve armed freedom-loving groups like the Contras who fought against the commie regime in Nicaragua, who lied and connived and cheated their way into power. We armed the mujahideen in Afghanistan, then fighting against the communist invaders (who also assassinated a US Ambassador). The UN Small Arms Treaty would have denied these groups what they needed to fight with us against tyranny. Is not such a treaty tyranny itself? What kind of an organization would even CONSIDER coming up with such oppressive nonsense? What kind of person would endorse it? Obama. Soros. Hillary Clinton. A rogue’s gallery there to be sure and anti freedom in every single cell in their nasty bodies. Why would the United States, a nation that embraces freedom, fought and died to preserve it on every shore, every sea, be a partner to such a treaty or even involve itself with such an organization? The United States should stand head and shoulders above every other nation on Earth to preserve the right to arm oppressed groups and assist them in their fight for their legitimate fight for freedom. That is just one reason why the US should remove themselves from the UN and them from our shores for they seek an autocracy over the world, not the shining city on the hill that cherishes freedom.

The UN has not been able to prevent one single act of genocide, no, they have enabled them. The UN and their Small Arms Treaty would prevent ANY assistance to a group trying to defend themselves and their families from a genocidal government, like Pol Pot for example. What a hideous concept from an organization that is supposed to PROTECT the oppressed and that liberals like Obama, the Clintons, etc, would support the very idea of it reveals that they are without a shred of decency or honor. They really are beneath the contempt of decent and honest, honorable Americans. Americans liberate, we do not enslave, no matter what Code Pink, John Murtha, Media Matters, etc, say or have said. What the liberals and their cohorts in the UN fail to note is that ALL of the genocides in the 20th century were insured by first disarming the targeted population, i.e., Jews, Ukrainians, Cambods, Rwandans, Gypsies, Armenians, etc. Indeed, here in America, everywhere guns are banned, Chicago for example, murders are over the top and the people hide behind locked doors and barred windows. THAT, my friends, IS NOT what America is supposed to be. A gun ban is DEADLIER than a free society, armed.

The treaty calls for an international registration of firearms. Why? So that when "they" decide that our right to keep and bear arms is over with, they can easily pop on over and take them, as they’ve done in the UK? Would Americans stand for a forced registration of who they voted for? Who they sleep with? A publication of their medical records (coming under ObamaKare), their sexual practices or partners? In two words, Hell NO! Liberals erupted in frenzied anger over the FBI checking library records of possible terrorists but they’ll roll over and beg FOR THIS? Mao stated that power flows from the barrel of a gun and maggots like Che made sure of it. Only an oppressive government or a wannabe tyrant like Obama, would even THINK of condoning this rediculous UN blather but then again, Obama DID state that he wants a civilian national security force to ensure, "domestic tranquility" to use a famous phrase.

In short, our Founding Fathers made the government is responsible to the people, not the people responsible to the government for they knew full well what government sponsored tyranny was all about. "The urge to save humanity is almost always a false-face for the urge to rule it." H.L. Mencken. What it is boiling down to is that, do you support freedom or do you support slavery and chains, even golden ones, are still chains. Our Founders came down on the side of freedom: "all political connection between them and the state of Great Britain, is and ought to be totally dissolved; and that as free and independent states, they have full power to levy war, conclude peace, contract alliances, establish commerce, and to do all other acts and things which independent states may of right do. And for the support of this declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of Divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our lives, our fortunes and our sacred honor." An INDEPENDENT STATE…something the Obama Regime, Hitlery Clinton, and the UN would stop at nothing to stamp out. Those who support the UN Small Arms Treaty and the UN itself should be considered our enemy and those who walked out on the Angry Dwarf at the UN and who continually stand with the U.S. for freedom, are our allies. Ask your Senators where THEY stand on the UN, the UN Small Arms Treaty, and freedom. MAKE. THEM. TELL. YOU. WHAT. and WHY.

"I know not what course others may take but for me, give me liberty or give me death."
