UN Panel Meeting to Take Your Guns Away

Program of Action to Prevent, Combat, and Eradicate the Illicit Trade in Small Arms and Light Weapons in All its Aspects, known as POA for short, is meeting in New York ostensibly to discuss the international sale of small arms, but in reality, their motives are much more sinister. The meeting began on Monday and runs through Friday. The POA website describes it’s mission as:
“Most present-day conflicts are fought with small arms and light weapons. They are the weapons of choice in civil wars and for terrorism, organized crime and gang warfare.
Illicit small arms have a negative impact on security, contribute to the displacement of civilians, facilitate the violation of human rights and hamper social and economic development.”

The key words here is organized crime and gang warfare. They could use this as a way of banning small arms in the US. Such a ban would be illegal in the United States, as we cannot pass laws or sign treaties that violate the Constitution. However, we are talking the Obama Imperial Court here. Not only doesn’t the emperor not have clothes, but he is also lacking morals.
The United States is active with the POA and even made a report to them in 2012. Since 2005, the panel has been working at tracing small arms, to determine where they are coming from and where they are going to.
“If weapons can be traced back to their last legal owner, they need to have been marked, and a record should be kept. In the ITI, governments have committed to do just that.”
Ted R. Bromund, a senior fellow at the Heritage Foundation, wrote an article on the POA panel. This is a summary of what he percieved their goal is to be:
“While it poses as an effort to control the illicit arms trade, it’s actually the centerpiece of the U.N.’s gun-control efforts.”
“Above all, it’s a classic UN norm-building institution that seeks to build up purely verbal commitments that can be transformed by the alchemy of frequent meetings into supposedly binding international law.”
Bromund points out that the UN panel is using an incrementalist approach to disarming law abiding American citizens using “acquis”, which the European Union term for legally biding totality of all its laws and directives :
“The POA’s approach is brilliant, if perverse: claim to be the centerpiece of any UN program, institution, or treaty that has any relevance at all to small arms, build up the acquis, and then argue that even unrelated treaties have to be interpreted in light of that acquis,” Bromund added. “So, for example, while the UN Arms Trade Treaty is supposedly limited to the international trade in arms and is actually separate from the POA, it is being pulled into the POA orbit, and thereby contaminated with the gun-control norms that the UN advances through its International Small Arms Control Standards.”

In layman’s terms it means they are coming for your guns, one step at a time.
