TRR: UN Arms Treaty Dead

http://www.washingtontimes.com/blog/robbins-report/2012/jul/27/un-arms-treaty-dead/

Talks over the UN Arms Trade Treaty fell apart today, effectively killing the agreement. The Arms Trade Treaty Legal Blog reports that the process seemed to be moving to completion when the United States requested an extension to the time to negotiate the agreement. This opened the door to other countries to begin registering objections, and it soon became clear that reaching agreement within the allowed timeframe would be impossible. The proposed treaty, which raised considerable domestic opposition from gun rights advocates in the United States, died before it had a chance to become a threat. As a delegate from China observed, "C'est la vie et la vie c'est ça."

The UN may take up the matter at a later date, but for now it is on indefinite hiatus.

A LAWYER WITH A BRIEFCASE CAN STEAL MORE THAN A THOUSAND MEN WITH GUNS.

This is very interesting! I never thought about it this way.

The Lawyers' Party, By Bruce Walker

The Democratic Party has become the Lawyers' Party.

Barack Obama is a lawyer. Michelle Obama is a lawyer.

Hillary Clinton is a lawyer. Bill Clinton is a lawyer.

John Edwards is a lawyer. Elizabeth Edwards was a lawyer.

Every Democrat nominee since 1984 went to law school (although Gore did not graduate).

Every Democrat vice presidential nominee since 1976, except for Lloyd Bentsen, went to law school.

Look at leaders of the Democrat Party in Congress:

Harry Reid is a lawyer. Nancy Pelosi is a lawyer.

The Republican Party is different.

President Bush is a businessman.

Vice President Cheney is a businessman.

The leaders of the Republican Revolution:

Newt Gingrich was a history professor.

Tom Delay was an exterminator. Dick Armey was an economist.

Speaker of the House John Boehner was a plastic manufacturer.

The former Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist is a heart surgeon.

Who was the last Republican president who was a lawyer? Gerald Ford, who left office 31 years ago and who barely won the Republican nomination as a sitting president, running against Ronald Reagan in 1976.

The Republican Party is made up of real people doing real work, who are often the targets of lawyers.

The Democrat Party is made up of lawyers. Democrats mock and scorn men who create wealth, like Bush and Cheney, or who heal the sick, likeFrist, or who immerse themselves in history, like Gingrich. The Lawyers Party sees these sorts of people, who provide goods and services that people want, as the enemies ofAmerica .. And, so we have seen the procession of official enemies, in the eyes of the Lawyers Party, grow.

Against whom do Hillary and Obama rail?....Pharmaceutical companies, oil companies, hospitals, manufacturers, fast food restaurant chains, large retail businesses, bankers, and anyone producing anything of value in our nation. This is the natural consequence of viewing everything through the eyes of lawyers. Lawyers solve problems by successfully representing their clients, in this case the American people. Lawyers seek to have new laws passed, they seek to win lawsuits, they press appellate courts to overturn precedent, and lawyers always parse language to favor their side.

Confined to the narrow practice of law, that is fine. But it is an awful way to govern a great nation. When politicians as lawyers begin to view some Americans as clients and other Americans as opposing parties, then the role of the legal system in our life becomes all-consuming. Some Americans become adverse parties of our very government. We are not all litigants in some vast social class-action suit. We are citizens of a republic that promises us a great deal of freedom from laws, from courts, and from lawyers.

Today, we are drowning in laws; we are contorted by judicial decisions; we are driven to distraction by omnipresent lawyers in all parts of our once private lives. America has a place for laws and lawyers, but that place is modest and reasonable, not vast and unchecked. When the most important decision for our next president is whom he will appoint to the Supreme Court, the role of lawyers and the law in America is too big.

When House Democrats sue America in order to hamstring our efforts to learn what our enemies are planning to do to us, then the role of litigation in America has become crushing.

Perhaps Americans will understand that change cannot be brought to our nation by those lawyers who already largely dictate American society and business. Perhaps Americans will see that hope does not come from the mouths of lawyers but from personal dreams nourished by hard work. Perhaps Americans will embrace the truth that more lawyers with more power will only make our problems worse.

The United States has 5% of the world’s population and 66% of the world’s lawyers! Tort (Legal) reform legislation has been introduced in congress several times in the last several years to limit punitive damages in ridiculous lawsuits such as spilling hot coffee on yourself and suing the establishment that sold it to you and also to limit punitive damages in huge medical malpractice lawsuits. This legislation has continually been blocked from even being voted on by the Democrat Party. When you see that 97%of the political contributions from the American Trial Lawyers Association go to the Democrat Party, then you realize who is responsible for our medical and product costs being so high!

While the Arms Treaty has failed for now,the Senate has S.A. 2575 with an Arms control Amendment 3414 which infringes on the 1st & 2nd Amendments. Contact your senators & tell them, "do not pass this bill."

Comment by james r shelton on July 28, 2012 at 4:10am

The entire UN still should be given one hour to get out of the US or face the hangman. Same with ZERO & company.

Comment by Firehawk on July 27, 2012 at 9:59pm

Amen to all these good comments...stay vigilant...watch OBozo like a hawk, and Janet, and Eric, and all the P heads! I do believe the UN Treaty would have been a launch pad for the president t tie a giant gun gravb onto. It's gone, for now, but I ahve no doubt he will find another mechanism to try this; likely by Executive Order due to an "emergency" connected with the election/election results, or something else. Be especially on guard if the president is NOT re-elected and has two plus months of lame duck rule to pulll all sorts of crap...and he'll need to get our guns to do it! Stay ready!!

Comment by Northerner on July 27, 2012 at 9:55pm

I am relieved to hear that hte U N Arms Treaty failed. However I don't think it can be said to be dead because they will keep trying.
Please read this article about the DICK ACT of 1902... Gun Control Forbidden and can't be repealed, it would be in violation of the Constitution.
Next time they try to enact Gun Control we need to be ready to send this information to all members of the Senate. Please read: http://www.knowthelies.com/?q=node/3949 This time we got lucky, we need to nip this in the bud before it gets started next time.

Let them turn the thgs loose, I can get pretty damn dirty myself. The more the merrier. To me if that treaty had been signed and ratified that is a act of war, but thank God for it falling. George we need to throw all those sobs out and the un.

Comment by Jerry L. Busby on July 27, 2012 at 6:17pm

Amen ! Well folks it was a very good Drill and I hope we have learned from it ! You can bet it won't go away and we should look at what we have and what we could of had to do.

We need to Thank Our Lord for more time to get ready for the next move !

Comment by James Higginbotham on July 27, 2012 at 6:06pm

Howdy.
like the UN it's self this NEEDS A STAKE DRIVEN INTO IT'S EVIL SATAN DRIVEN BLACK HEART.
and DON'T let your guard down.
this might just be a DISTRACTION like the RIGHT hand NOT knowing what the LEFT HAND IS DOING.
Semper Fi.
