The 10th Conference of States Parties to the Arms Trade Treaty met this week in Geneva, Switzerland. Although it was heralded as a celebration of the treaty’s tenth year since entry into force the only thing worth celebrating was the fact that President Trump unbound the United States (U.S.) from its object and purpose in 2019.
Supporters of the Arms Trade Treaty (ATT) have always argued that it will have zero impact on national policy, claiming instead that it serves as a tool to bring other nations up to U.S. standards when it comes to firearm export and import standards.
On the other hand, we have always held the position that the ATT is a direct threat to our national sovereignty, and the Second Amendment in particular. That is why the NRA alone worked tirelessly with the Trump administration to remove John Kerry’s signature from the treaty and unbind the U.S. from its object and purpose, which he did from the stage at our annual meeting in 2019.
My guess is DJT MESSED UP and did something right! (SARC!)
This week, we witnessed first-hand why that was the right move, and we only had to wait until halfway through the first day of the meeting to see why. Justification came in the form of an intervention from the State the Palestine (which is recognized by the ATT). They took the floor to deliver a blistering attack against Israel and the U.S., claiming that U.S. arms exports are fueling violations of human rights and are being used to commit gender-based violence in the Gaza region. According to them, U.S. firearms exports are a clear violation of the ATT which demand immediate international recourse.
OK, MY TAKE? These Criminals will stop @ nothing to either draw us into a ‘conflict’ or have the entire CABAL GOING AFTER US, Sanctions, Fines, whatever it takes to DISARM US! (Which they cannot do unless our Local Corrupt leaders (DEMONCRATS) Start the SH** rolling about Confiscation, disarmament, Martial Law…whatever it takes. Our .gov gets it’s MARCHING ORDERS from these folks because it’s Soros, Gates and the Zuck (and many other Elites).
We are tightening the NOOSE but these Crim’s are getting desperate.
Recognizing PALESTINE? Really? Seriously?
