To Every US Citizen: The Worst Is Yet To Come

And because governments realize this, there will be a renewed push to disarm the average world citizen and, by extension, this push will occur here in the United States as well.

From Larry Bell at Forbes.com:

It may not come as surprising news to many of you that the United Nations doesn’t approve of our Second Amendment. Not one bit. And they very much hope to do something about it with help from some powerful American friends. Under the guise of a proposed global “Small Arms Treaty” premised to fight “terrorism”, “insurgency” and “international crime syndicates” you can be quite certain that an even more insidious threat is being targeted – our Constitutional right for law-abiding citizens to own and bear arms.

This is occurring for two very important reasons, reasons that you need to realize exist right now, this very moment:

1. The arrogance of government on all levels in every nation is exploding; only the government knows what is best for its citizens who -- more and more -- are becoming simple Serfs;
2. The fear of government -- realization and the concomitant fear that citizens who are armed may be pushed to the point where they not only awaken to the threat governments place and have placed on their lives with onerous taxes, regulations and profligate spending -- and the present ability of mere "citizens" to enact their own form of "push-back."

Here in the United States, people are finally beginning to realize that what Mr Obama has been doing to allegedly "combat" our fiscal predicament isn't working and, instead, is making things worse. There is no "rebound" in the economy, in the jobs market, in the housing market, in the overall economy. These events are already occurring:

• - The Washington Post/ABC News poll indicates that Americans' disapproval has reached new highs. There is a broadly pessimistic view of the economy due to increasing gas prices, increasing unemployment. By a 2-to-1 register, people think the country is on the wrong track. 6 in 10 say the economy isn't improving at all. At this point Romney is ahead of Obama, 49% to 46%.
• - This is the 32nd straight month of a continuing federal deficit;
• - China has divested itself of 97% of American debt;
• - The auto bailout was a conglomeration of lies and shockingly-unaccounted spending;
• - No one takes Mr Obama to task for killing darker-hued people in Libya;
• - The US has a history-making, record-making $61.6 TRILLION dollars in unfunded debt, leaving each US household with a $534,000 obligation;
• - 30% of American companies plan to abandon healthcare in 2014 because of the onerous mandates of ObakaKare;
• - And still Mr Obama demands that the debt ceiling be raised and that America continues to spend and spend and spend money that it simply does not possess.

Which brings me to: what is that oft-quoted "definition of insanity"? -- that is: "doing the same thing over and over again, expecting different results"?

Mr Obama and his minions do this precisely, expecting that miracles shall issue forth. And there are no miracles. Precisely the opposite. Printing money is a Death Knell. Spending money that one does not possess is a Death Knell. It beggars stupidity on an incomprehensible level:

When you are in personal or familial debt, is the answer to spend more money you don't possess?

Because the answer is so plainly obvious, I won't provide it. That said, what makes anyone think a nation, a series of nations, a planet of governments -- is somehow exempt from this common sense stricture?

Therefore, the only final equation can be catastrophe. Catastrophe on a state and national level, and very likely on a global level as well.

When those -- in America -- come to realize just how ill-managed, arrogant, incompetent, exclusive, elitist, their governments and highly-paid executives are, there will be a clear pushback. It is this pushback or revolt that those in government are attempting to ameliorate or eliminate entirely. Because they realize it means their own very highly once-separated throats.

Mr Bell continues to write:

While the terms have yet to be made public, if passed by the U.N. and ratified by our Senate, it will almost certainly force the U.S. to:

1. Enact tougher licensing requirements, creating additional bureaucratic red tape for legal firearms ownership.
2. Confiscate and destroy all “unauthorized” civilian firearms (exempting those owned by our government of course).
3. Ban the trade, sale and private ownership of all semi-automatic weapons (any that have magazines even though they still operate in the same one trigger pull – one single “bang” manner as revolvers, a simple fact the ant-gun media never seem to grasp).
4. Create an international gun registry, clearly setting the stage for full-scale gun confiscation.
5. In short, overriding our national sovereignty, and in the process, providing license for the federal government to assert preemptive powers over state regulatory powers guaranteed by the Tenth Amendment in addition to our Second Amendment rights.

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.

Former U.N. ambassador John Bolton has cautioned gun owners to take this initiative seriously, stating that the U.N. “is trying to act as though this is really just a treaty about international arms trade between nation states, but there is no doubt that the real agenda here is domestic firearms control.”

As an Illinois state senator, Barack Obama was an aggressive advocate for expanding gun control laws, and even voted against legislation giving gun owners an affirmative defense when they use firearms to defend themselves and their families against home invaders and burglars. He also served on a 10-member board of directors of the radically activist anti-gun Joyce Foundation in Chicago during a period between 1998-2001when it contributed $18,326,183 in grants to anti-Second Amendment organizations.

Further, a very salient and little-published but amazing point:

There are many like me, and fewer of them would be alive today were it not for exercise of their gun rights. In fact law-abiding citizens in America used guns in self-defense 2.5 million times during 1993 (about 6,850 times per day), and actually shot and killed 2 1/2 times as many criminals as police did (1,527 to 606). Those civilian self-defense shootings resulted in less than 1/5th as many incidents as police where an innocent person was mistakenly identified as a criminal (2% versus 11%).

Mr Bell sums up perfectly:

Now, more than ever, it’s imperative to stick by our guns in demanding that all Constitutional rights be preserved. If not, we will surely lose both.

There it is.
