SECOND AMENDMENT

I've got a feeling that before the end of Obama's term there will be an all out, no holds barred, hook or crook attempt to separate Americans from their legally owned private fire arms. And it may well not come in the ordinary routine of legislation passed by both houses of Congress and signed into law by the president.

But, as America has found out the hard way, with this president there is more than one way to skin a cat, the Constitution and the will of the people be damned.

There is a very sinister United Nations document known as Agenda 21, which, if fully implemented, could deprive U.S. citizens of their property rights and allow for the confiscation of privately owned firearms.

This is just the tip of the iceberg with this devious treaty which includes the states right to regulate the private production of food for personal use, home gardens, meat and milk animals and so forth, plus population control and the reallocation of privately owned land to be set aside for government use.

I know some of the people reading this column doubt the validity and the scope of what I'm saying and I can't say I blame you because it sounds like the prelude to a Big Brother movie. So please don't take my word for it, get on your computer and look up United Nations Agenda 21 for yourself.

Now if some reporter in a press conference situation were to ask Obama if he was scheming to renounce the Second Amendment and turn America's sovereignty over to the UN he would probably laugh and say how ridiculous the question was.

But remember, "You can keep your doctor?"

Or, “You can keep your insurance plan, period."?

Or how about "the most transparent administration in history"?

And how about "I've got a pen and a phone."?

In order to be legally binding, Agenda 21 implementation would still need to be passed by Congress. So far nine states have passed anti-Agenda 21 legislation, but Democrats in Maine derailed a bill that would have prevented adoption in the state when they could have removed this shadow over our constitution forever and they chose to kill the bill in the state’s Judiciary Committee.

We have a lame duck president and probably will have some lame duck Senators and the same spirit of greed that got Obamacare through still exists in Washington and, at least in my mind, should there be a significant number of lame duck Senators who feel as if the only thing they have to lose is whatever minute scrap of honor they may have left they may well accept some conscience smothering bribe and live the rest of their lives in denial, and probably hiding, as this would be the most unpopular decision ever made on Capitol Hill, and that's saying something.

How would it work? Well, at least in my humble opinion the government would inform the public that the private ownership of certain types of guns was against the law, and very possibly that all handguns were outlawed and would have to be turned into some government agency to be destroyed by such and such a date and non compliance would constitute a felony and some serious jail time.

After removing most heavy caliber rifles and all handguns from the public, it’s a simple matter of drying up ammunition supplies or outlawing all guns a caliber at a time until there comes a time when it's against the law to own anything heavier than a Red Ryder air rifle.

Sound silly?

Well, let's hope and pray so, but think about this.

Everything Obama has touched since he came into office has turned to dust, he has lied to us repeatedly, his foreign policy is a total disaster, the economy is hanging by a twenty-seven billion dollar influx of cash the Federal Reserve prints and buys government bonds with every month, our southern border states are being flooded with dependent children which he will not deal with. Our military is being decimated and demoralized and he seems to think that releasing five of the most dangerous terrorists in the world is perfectly acceptable.

The confiscation of privately owned firearms could well be the pièce de résistance of Obama's presidency. Probably his most treasured legacy.

With what's going on in the world, an unarmed America is unthinkable.

EDITOR’S NOTE: As I read Agenda 21, it really does not apply to individual gun owners, but rather to the international trafficking in firearms. Obviously, not everyone sees it the same way.
