As we face the prospect that Hillary Clinton will sign the Arms Trade
Treaty, establishing first-ever UN gun controls, those of us who believe
in the Second Amendment need to gear up for a tough battle this fall.
But there is a good prospect of victory.
We have to realize that once the ink is dry on Hillary's signature,
there are only two ways to beat the Treaty and its threat of UN imposed
gun control - take back the Senate or beat Obama.
The fact that the NRA has succeeded in getting fifty-eight Senators to
sign on opposing the Treaty is irrelevant. If Harry Reid won't
bring it up on the floor, it won't get a vote. And, in the absence
of Senate disapproval or a renunciation by the president, the United
States is bound by the Treaty under the provisions of the Vienna
Convention which we have both signed and ratified.
Nor will the Second Amendment offer us any protection. The
Supremacy Clause in our own Constitution provides that treaties are the
"law of the land" akin to a constitutional provision.
The answer is to beat Obama and give the Republicans a majority in the
Senate. Either will suffice to kill the Treaty. A Republican
majority leader would certainly bring the Treaty up for a vote and it
would certainly be defeated, ending its power over the U.S. and a
President Romney will doubtless renounce the Treaty on taking office.
Voting for anti-gun control Democratic candidates for Senate won't work.
Their leader would refuse to bring the Treaty up for a vote, regardless
of how his members felt.
We know that Obama is frightened to death of the gun issue. While
he said, famously, that bitter people "cling to their religion and their
guns," in the 2008 election, he hasn't touched the issue since. In
his avalanche of liberal proposals concerning spending, taxes, health
care, labor relations, the environment, and energy, he has proposed no
added gun controls.
So we need to realize that this Treaty is a declaration of war against
the Second Amendment and we need to step up and battle. We have
got to make gun control the issue that tips swing states like
Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan, Wisconsin, Indiana, Missouri, Iowa, and
Colorado into the Republican column on Election Day. Now there is
no way to save our right to bear arms other than to win the election.
