CIFTA
Before the WH silenced Eric Holder, he nearly gave away the new strategy for sweeping gun bans: CIFTA. Instead of fighting blue dog Dems or Republicans, the WH simply needs to sign CIFTA to retroactively require American gun and ammo owners to comply-- without needing US legislation.
Compliance includes 4 year jail terms for stockpiling ammo, 8 year terms for having any gun on the ban list (nearly all guns currently collected and owned in the US), and the ability of any signing country to EXTRADITE an American if a gun he previously owned is used in a crime in a signing country! This of course pre-supposes universal compulsory registration, which is a given with this treaty. Here are some details:
The treaty
This treaty requires the registration of all guns, and the Licensing of all gun owners, and all manufacturers of ALL guns and ammunition, even individual home re-loaders.
No congressman needs to lose any election by voting on them, he’s just ratifying a treaty.
It requires the NAMES and ADDRESSES of ALL gun owners to be shared among the signing countries.
This means that Hugo Chavez and Raul Castro will know who you are, where you live, and how many guns you own.
It also means that our dear Hugo Chavez, or Castro can extradite you to his "non-corrupt" country simply by requesting it. If you read it carefully, you can even be extradited to countries the United States has NO extradition treaties with.
All that has to happen is for a gun to be stolen and wind up in another country by any means, and you are off to jail in Venezuela.
Of course none of this information will ever reach the hands of any criminal elements, because there is no corruption in any South American country.
BTW you can expect the leftist media will be completely silent about this because this is an “end run around” and negates the Second Amendment…… by way of a treaty
