I’ve written about the U.N. Arms Trade Treaty many times previously, but as long as the ATT remains a threat to our Second Amendment, it bears constant reminders, considering Biden has signaled he intends to betray our constitutional rights to the U.N. by rejoining the ATT.

Surely Americans don’t want the U.N. having “supreme authority” over our Second Amendment.

President Biden is obsessed with getting gun control passed by any means and the ATT is designed to bypass our constitution, setting up an international body which will limit the types of firearms Americans can legally own, creating an international gun registry and pressuring treaty members to enact strict gun control laws. Under this treaty, unelected U.N. bureaucrats will slowly end private firearm ownership in the U.S. and worldwide.

Communist China is pressuring the U.S. to rejoin the ATT and we know why China desires American disarmament.

Barack Obama initially signed the ATT in 2013. Although the Senate never ratified the treaty, the gun grabbers claimed we had to “respect” the treaty as a signatory. Thankfully, President Trump unsigned the treaty in 2019.

One hundred eleven of the 150 countries which negotiated the ATT have ratified it and are pressuring the U.S. and other countries to do likewise.

Another upcoming threat to American sovereignty is Biden’s planned turning control of the CDC over to the World Health Organization, a puppet of communist China, through the International Treaty for Pandemic Preparation and Prevention. Thus, the WHO would have total control of managing pandemics worldwide including in the U.S. And the WHO would define what constitutes a pandemic. Maybe a bad flu season. They could put the U.S. in a perpetual lockdown for any reason they deem necessary.

This treaty would also allow the WHO access to Americans’ medical history and bank accounts and the WHO could force Americans to take any vaccines they deem appropriate.

Americans might consider what would happen should the WHO declare gun violence in the U.S. an epidemic and order the CDC to confiscate all privately owned American firearms.

Biden intends to submit this insane treaty to the Senate for ratification sometime this May. Everyone should contact their senators and tell them to oppose this treaty and the ATT treaty.

Both treaties can be looked up on the internet, but where’s the fake news coverage?
