Illinois was the only state in the U.S. to have an outright prohibition on concealed carry. Residents could own guns but only keep them in their house. They weren’t even allowed to carry an unloaded gun in public. That changed last Thursday and we may witness the ‘Anointed One’s’ wrath in the coming months.
A question floating around the smoke-filled room of Democrat strategists in Washington and Chicago is: Will Obama commit to signing UN Arms Trade Treaty while Congress at summer recess?
Unless the GOP and other patriotic Americans keep their eyes on the Democrats, he well might.
A couple years ago, a Democrat state Representative Brandon Phelps (IL-118) sponsored a bill that would have allowed concealed carry, albeit with many limitations. Governor Pat Quinn and Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel both lobbied against the bill, and it eventually failed 65 – 32.
However, their prohibition against concealed weapons is a thing of the past, because a U.S. Appeals Court struck down Illinois’ ban as unconstitutional last year. The court instructed Illinois to enact legislation in the next 180 days that allows concealed carry. Their initial deadline was June 9th, but then they got a one-month extension. And at the last minute on Tuesday, Illinois legislators enacted their own concealed carry law:
Undoubtedly, this betrayal by Illinois politicians really ‘ticked’ the Anointed One off. How dare those hayseeds back in the Land of Lincoln go against his wishes to disarm America?!
The fact that most central and downstate Democrats (not Chicago, Cook County nor collar county Dems) voted for concealed carry really, really was the straw that ‘broke the camel’s back’ – Mideast pun intended- it really, really got his head scarf unwound .
We may witness the Anointed One’s wrath in the coming months.
ICE News has often written of this administration’s love fest with the goals of the United Nations. Obama doesn’t really see himself as President of the United States but more as a ruler over the world. He sees himself above it all, trying to orchestrate and coordinate various countries and their agendas. He sees moral equivalency in all cultures. He promised his avid followers “change” when he ran for the presidency and for five years he has done everything he and the Democrat Party could do to achieve that goal: Changing the face of this nation. One of those changes (working clandestinely behind the scenes with the UN) is the re-interpretation of the Constitution’s Second Amendment: the disarming the American citizen.
The number one goal of the United Nations is to become the political entity that rules all nations or in other words, the one world government. To accomplish that goal, they have to continue to exert their authority and power over individual countries and they have been quite successful at doing this in recent years.
One of the key pieces of international law that needs to be in place before the UN can take over the world is to control all weapons, including handguns, rifles, shotguns, semi-automatic and automatic weapons and ammunition. Over the past few years, the UN has been pushing one treaty that will help to accomplish that goal. It is the UN Arms Trade Treaty.
The UN Arms Trade Treaty is a treaty that would regulate the international sale and transfer of all conventional weapons throughout the world. Conventional weapons are sea and land mines, rockets, missiles, cluster munitions, non-nuclear bombs, shells, small arms and light weapons. By small arms, they mean handguns, rifles and shotguns of all kinds, regardless of their use or design.
A number of Second Amendment supporters and gun rights advocates believe that this treaty could be used to further regulate guns in the US and infringe on the rights of Americans to bear arms. One hundred and thirty members of Congress jointly signed a letter to President Obama and Secretary of State John Kerry, insisting that they reject the UN Arms Trade Treaty, saying:
“As your review of the treaty continues, we strongly encourage your administration to recognize its textual, inherent and procedural flaws, to uphold our country’s constitutional protections of civilian firearms ownership, and to defend the sovereignty of the United States, and thus to decide not to sign this treaty.”
White House Press Secretary Jay Carney has indicated that President Obama intends to sign the treaty by the end of August. Speaking on behalf of Obama, Carney said: “We believe it’s in the interest of the United States. While we look forward to signing the treaty, there are remaining translation issues that need to be resolved.”
Notice that the time frame that Obama has given for his signature of the UN Arms Trade Treat just happens to coincide with Congress’s summer recess, which makes us wonder if he is going to try to pull something like a recess appointment to push it through without congressional approval. But, legally, he can’t because in order for an international treaty of any kind to become binding to the United States, it must be passed by a two-thirds majority vote of the Senate. At this time, it does not appear that there is enough support in the Senate to muster up 67 out of 100 votes.
Ratified or not, it’s clear that the Democratic Party continues to do their part in turning over US sovereignty to a radically liberal organization that is against everything America stands for. The UN is against capitalism and the American way of government. They have been actively undermining the Christian religion, traditional family values, parental authority and free speech. The UN passed a massive hate crimes bill that makes any form of language against homosexuality to be a hate crime. Preaching the Bible is a hate crime according to the UN – not the Koran, though.
ICE News believes the United Nations is a terrorist organization that is actively trying to overthrow the US and subvert our way of life. They need to be kicked out of our country. Let them build a towering office building in another country – how about Saudi Arabia? Leaving the UN would also save us hundreds of billions of dollars that could go a long way to putting American back on our financial feet.
