America in 2016 II: Disarmament?

Posted by Gene on Friday, May 22, 2009 12:35:34 AM
Here’s a mouthful: The Inter-American Convention Against the Illicit Manufacturing of and Trafficking in Firearms, Ammunition, Explosives and other Related Items.

Politicos get turned on by long titles such as that one which refers to a treaty never ratified by the United States Senate and which more commonly goes by its Spanish acronym, CIFTA.  If you haven’t heard about it, you will soon enough since President Obama is now pushing it as is Republican Senator Richard Lugar of Indiana.

It’s no surprise Obama is on board but Lugar, Richard Lugar  the most senior Republican in the Senate, is a major shocker.

CIFTA fits very nicely with Obama’s obsession with internationalism.  (See “America in 2016,” http://www.genelalor.com/blog1/?p=1022, which discusses the un-American scheme for the ”use of international law in interpreting the Constitution of the United States.”)

The seventy-seven year old Dick Lugar, however, is generally considered a pretty conservative guy so his support for a treaty for which there is very little enthusiasm in the Senate is indeed a surprise.  The CIFTA treaty has been gathering dust there for 12 years ever since Bill Clinton proposed it but made little effort to get it ratified.

I can’t figure why a conservative Republican would advocate for a treaty which, among other features, would provide all available United States’ governmental information on every gun owner in the country to bureaucrats in foreign nations. 

Catch the video on the subject with CNN’s Lou Dobbs,   who says, “We’re fools” to buy into this farcical treaty, here: http://wearechangecoloradosprings.org/blog/?p=594.  Dobbs added that “We will have only ourselves to blame” if the Senate ratifies it.

Speaking of fools, the far left wing The Nation . . .

SCOTUS UPHOLDS THE CONSTITUTION!

SCOTUS UPHOLDS THE CONSTITUTION!

June 27th, 2008

In what has become the typical 5-4 split on the Supreme Court–with 4 conservatives on the good side, 4 liberals on the bad side, and Justice Kennedy swinging in the middle, SCOTUS struck down the D.C. ban on the legal possession of handguns for self-defense.  Score one for the good guys!  (http://apnews.myway.com/article/20080627/D91I48C82.html)

I hope someone is keeping tally on the D.C. crime rate.  If it goes up, watch for headlines, prime time specials, and rallies for new gun laws.  If the crime rate goes down, watch for no media coverage.  I’m betting on a plunging crime rate as Joe Average D.C. Citizen starts packing a weapon to ward off the already-armed reprobates.

One can only hope that the next Court sees a few more conservatives who just may determine there is no “right to privacy” in the Constitution and overturn Roe V. Wade.   One can always dream, no?
