So you say how would this effect me as a gun owner, well I’ll tell you. Any treaty that is signed trumps the Constitution and our bill of rights as I understand the law. That means if some president we elect would sign this then it would affect every citizen in America that owns a firearm. Can you just imagine what would happen if Hilary Clinton was elected our next president?

I along with many others in the pro-gun movement see this as the single largest threat we will ever endure to our rights to keep and bear arms in America. This fight could be of great effect on our national sovereignty, and our individual freedoms for the future of our nation and children. I believe this threat to be far worse than our war on terrorism that we are now fighting. I can’t stress any stronger what this would do to us for generations to come.

The fight must start with your vote, it is more important now than ever that we elect people with strong pro-gun stances to every elected office in this nation right down to those we elect to city councils. We must send a strong and clear message to them all that we will not stand for this threat to our freedoms and the nation we all love a fight to keep free.

I see this as the catalyst for the next world war and civil war right here on our soil. The cost in human life and our freedoms would be far too great. I like many of you would not go softly into the next years without putting up a fight. I’m an old man and if they kill me the world wouldn’t lose much, however I worry about my children and grand children and what they would face in the future. My only hope is that God will smile on America once more and help us through this fight.

Once this starts it will not be a good thing for anyone. Our future and our world as we know it would be worse than the holocaust in Germany. Perhaps this is the start of the great world war that will start the thousand years of piece prior to the end of the world. I don’t know but it sure is looking bad from my saddle.

I tell you all of this so that you can prepare for what I believe to be the hardest fight we will have in the future and hope that we can stop it with our very important vote instead of having to take up arms and fight the hard way. I have been to war and it is not a good thing, as they say war is hell. This means we will all have to sacrifice as much as possible in the next year and help people like the National Rifle Association and other pro-gun organizations as much as possible to get the right people elected to office. This will mean we must each reach down as far as possible and give tell it hurts with financial aid and writing letters and making phone calls to get the right people in office all over this land of ours.

You won’t hear or see much on the main stream media about this yet because they don’t want you to get up in arms and fight this until it is sprung on you at the last minute. It’s the old mushroom syndrome to keep you in the dark until you’re picked. If you are not a member of the NRA or other pro-gun organizations please join now as our strength is in numbers with those in office. This may be the single most important thing you do to insure that America and our freedoms endure for years to come. Please take the time to be informed about this and other issues and put up the fight that I know you are all able to do. Even if you are not a gun owner this could affect your life and quality of life for future generations. We need your help also. If we lose our rights then America is finished for good.

It’s time for the United Nations to go away and leave our soil for good. When nations like Great Britain, Sweden, the Netherlands, France, Japan, and Belgium are attempting to tell us how to live. Most if not all other nations owe there way of life to us and our freedoms and our people who are the best in the world with weapons because we have the freedom and rights to use them and own them. Now they want to control us and make us slaves like their own subjects. I think not.

God Bless America and God bless our troops still in harms way.
