I received a fund-raising appeal from the NRA via text message 11/24/2023.
To be sure, globalists like the United Nations (UN), the World Economic Forum (WEF), and communists here and abroad genuinely strive toward the goal of a one-world government.
Few Americans know the Constitution, the Declaration of Independence, and the separation of powers between the federal and the state governments. Even fewer know the enumerated powers of the Congress.
Human governments do not give us our natural (God-given) rights. The Bill of Rights requires the federal and state governments to protect our natural rights.
Let’s focus on Amendment II:
A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.
What is the Supreme Law of the Land? Article VI, paragraph 2, answers this question.
This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in Pursuance thereof; and all Treaties made, or which shall be made, under the Authority of the United States, shall be the supreme Law of the Land; and the Judges in every State shall be bound thereby, any Thing in the Constitution or Laws of any State to the Contrary notwithstanding.
For either a law or a treaty to qualify as the Supreme Law of the Land, it must be in pursuance of the seven articles of the U.S. Constitution. Any Act of Congress or any Treaty that is not in pursuance of those seven articles is unconstitutional and unenforceable.
In Summary
- UN resolutions are not the Supreme Law of the Land for our people.
- Only an Article V constitutional amendment can modify or eliminate Amendment II.
- Agreements by Presidents with declarations of foreign governments, including the United Nations, are not binding on the people of the United States.
- Treaties in pursuance of the articles of the U.S. Constitution, as per Article VI, the second paragraph, and approved by the U.S. Senate, as per Article II, Section 2, the second paragraph, become the Supreme Law of the Land.
The Bill of Rights—the first Ten Amendments to the U.S. Constitution—limits the powers of federal and state governments and delineates powers between the states and the federal government. I refer you to Amendment X on the matter of delineation of powers.
By no means do I discourage the reader from financially supporting the NRA, the GOA, or any other legitimate gun-rights organization. Do contribute to these stalwarts of liberty.
