Are Hillary Clinton & Barack Obama coming for your guns via UN treaty?

Many times a week, ISRA receives the following important warning, in this form, or something very similar, sometimes in all caps, large fonts, different colors, you've been receiving it too.  Here's an example:

So is Hillary coming for your guns? Like most stories spread on the internet there is some truth to this, some falsehood and some exaggerations.

The talks about the treaty exist. That said, we are a sovereign country with our own constitution. Even if the administration signed such a treaty, it has to be ratified by 2/3 of the US Senate, and even if they could ratify it, the U.S. Supreme Court has ruled that we have an individual constitutionally protected right to own firearms.  There has been no signing of any such treaty.

This administration does not have the power to implement such a change in American culture. Look at all the trouble they had passing the health care bill. The resistance to that change would be dwarfed by the people's resistance if they were looking at a revocation of their second amendment rights.

Still, the threat is being taken seriously. The Second Amendment Foundation has a recently formed International organization that is tracking these, as is the NRA. ISRA works closely with both of these organizations and if there is a credible, immediate threat that requires action, ISRA will be amongst the first to get out the alerts to our friends.

Gunowners must stay organized and informed. Being a member of the ISRA is the best way to achieve that. If you're not an ISRA member, you can join on-line , or over the phone at 815-635-3198. You can download a printable application form here .
