WJPBR Email News List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Peace at any cost is a Prelude to War! A few days ago, I read about a new ATF weapons ban and I started doing some research. What gave me the information I needed was the phrase "Implementation of the Model Regulations for the Control of the International Movement of Firearms, Their Parts and Components, and Ammuntion" I took "Model Regulations for the Control of the International Movement of Firearms, Their Parts and Components, and Ammuntion" + UN + OAS and ran it through a searchbot. BINGO! OAS is the culprit that created it and Clinton is its able abettor. America's ATF policy is now decided by an international organization that favors world government. Just today, I read an article by Tim Kern, "ANN SPECIAL REPORT: HR 4205 Is Real, and Horrible" (http://www.aero-news.net). The article is an absolutely MUST read. However, like most special interests groups, he is missing what I call "The Big Picture". His article is excellent,but doesn't dig deeply enough into the source of the problem. Quoting Mr. Kern regarding HR 4205, "The bill would impact others, too -- WWII collectors, VFW posts, libraries, even Civil War re-enactors -- to render their treasures inoperable. Wing spars would be cut; breechblocks welded; books destroyed, all after the DoD had already " disposed" of the equipment. "The offending sections, Sections 361 and 362, were designed as a bit of "tail-covering" for the DoD, which has, on occasion, sold stuff it shouldn't be selling. The DoD doesn't want to go track the stuff down, and Congress doesn't want to embarrass the DoD, so they did what any fool would do: Congress wants to give the DoD enough authority to cover up all its mistakes -- at your expense, of course. "Authorization for the language of Section 361, that allows the DoD to require demilitarization of things the Department already sold, came from a 1998 law that covered Fiscal Year 1999, Public Law 105-261, Section 1051, that requested the Secretary of Defense to provide "draft legislation that the Secretary considers appropriate to clarify the authority of the Government to recover critical and sensitive defense property that has been inadequately demilitarized." The wording came from the Defense Logistics Agency, and it's comprehensive enough to make sure that the DoD never has to worry about anything its citizens would ever own. PL 105-261 doesn't say the recommendations need to be adopted, either. "It depends on what your definition of "demilitarize," is. "Until recently, these legalistic word games were laughed aside; but we live in a new era, when plain words don't seem to retain their meanings for more than a session or two of the legislature. "Demil" used to mean, "render incapable of being used for an item's offensive military purpose." Not any more, according to the language of Section 361 (and its inbred little brother, Section 2573, which is the "book of lists" so popular with those who don't read the legislation they pass). There, you will see that, not only would the owner of, say, a nuclear warhead [how would the DoD be selling those? --ed] have to return it to the government for destruction, but owners of non-offensive militaria would, as well. The bill includes non-offensive items like clothes and like body armor. The real purpose of the bill becomes clearer as you read that the possessor of even the repair manual on, say, the instruments of a P-38 Lightning would have to subject his manual to "demilling." So would owners of other books and manuals. Collections of maintenance manuals, from everything from a lowly M-1 carbine, to the B-52, could be sent to the DoD book-burners. "Even non-offensive materiel would be banned. Non-offensive materiel and systems, even safety equipment, would be rendered useless. The bill includes "inertial navigation systems," and even some "non-military inertial navigation systems." These last, even though the DoD never owned them, could be recalled for the federal crusher. "Non-aviation historic and practical materiel is included. "A lot of aviators don't give a fig about guns, and that's fine. The rest of us will protect you. On the other hand, if you do cherish your Civil War-era caplock, or your 1903 Springfield (like Sergeant York carried), or your Daddy's WWII pistol, you're out of luck. Destroyed, all. Small arms primers, projectiles, ammunition, shell casings -- all gone. You say you're in the DCM and you like to shoot competitively, and you waited three years to get your M-1 Garand, and you bought it direct from the Pentagon? Sorry. It's bye-bye. Your local library has a complete set of drawings for the B-17, pieced together over thirty years by that little white-haired lady whose name you can't remember any more, but whose son was killed flying one? Burn 'em. "You reload your target ammunition, and you don't have any military manuals? That's OK, because any information in the reloading manuals you have, must be "redacted." If you don't know exactly which loads are military, you're going to lose the book. You bought your kid a set of XS camo clothes for camping out? Most of that clothing has an IR-absorbing treatment; your kid goes naked from now on. "You're in the VFW, and your unit saved donations for three years, and bought a landing craft, a "duck," and you use it each year in parades, and to raffle off rides across the river to a lucky dozen? Sink it. "So, you've figured out a way round this? "You don't have a warbird. All you have is your great gran-pappy's revolver, that he used when he ran with Teddy Roosevelt up San Juan Hill. You're certainly not going to turn it in, just to have its cylinder welded in place. You just won't tell anybody. Fine. Next year, when your home is broken into, along with all your other good stuff, that revolver disappears. The good news is, the police get your stuff back. The bad news is, the revolver's part of what they recover. Congratulations. You're a federal firearms felon. You don't even know who broke into your house, do you? "The "gun" issue...is a large part of the DoD's apparent paranoia; but privately-owned aircraft haven't carried guns, at least since 1934. "Just to make sure we weren't headed down a path already traveled, we called Larry Pratt, president of the Gun Owners of America. [We called the NRA too, but they're too busy to call back, or something. --ed] He shared his thoughts. "My initial impression is that this is the kind of thing you would expect at the end of a Congress." He recalled how other pieces of legislation get buried in larger, complicated, important legislation, just to get them passed, when they wouldn't have had a chance on their own. "This is how we got Lautenberg." [The Lautenberg Amendment made "assault weapons" illegal, just because of their cosmetics, in 1996. --ed] He is a strong Second Amendment supporter, of course; but he brought up additional Constitutional problems. "[Even] If we didn't have a Second Amendment, this law would still be unconstitutional. The Congress is given the power to provide for the militia, or to withhold its support; it isn't given the power to disarm the militia. Article I Section 8 of the Constitution gives the Congress the power to provision, not disarm. Additionally, the Tenth Amendment specifically limits the powers to those delegated [to the federal government]." [The Constitution also prohibits ex post facto laws, and declares contracts sacred; and this Bill goes against both those provisions, as well. --ed] "Action needs to follow from learning about this. We will be encouraging our members to have a grassroots reaction to this." We called the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms, thinking they would be interested in being instrumental in the recall and potential destruction of so many personal firearms, while getting a bit of control over the FAA's territory. We talked with Tracy Hite, who is in the ATF's Public Information branch, and we found out that trust goes two ways. "Would you believe me if I found out we (ATF) had nothing to do with this [bill]?" she asked. We replied that whether we believed her or not, we'd report what she said. She called back several hours later, after having done enough research to satisfy the point. Her statement: "ATF was not consulted and had no other input in the drafting of this legislation." [We found out the next day that the Defense Logistics Agency had written the section. Score one for the BATF. --ed]" End Kern quotes. I REALLY have problems with Kern's last statement. The Defense Logistics Agency is loaded with Clinton Administration appointees and what better way to sneak in a very nasty piece of gun control legislation written by the DLA than in a Defense Appropriations bill so huge, no one will read the entire bill? The DLA under Clinton is also busy giving away the government store to the Chinese. <A HREF="http://www.spectator.org/archives/97-10_timmerman.html">The American Spectator: October 1997</A> http://www.spectator.org/archives/97-10_timmerman.html As for the ATF, perhaps they are innocent and perhaps not. Many UN documents refer to " <A HREF="http://www.fas.org/spp/starwars/offdocs/itar/p121.htm#C-III">Internation al Traffic In Arms Regulations - PART 121-THE UNITED STATES MUNITIONS LIST</A> ". Without benefit of Congress, the Clinton Administration is actively implenting UN gun control policies. ATF certainly was in their latest unconstitutional ban. Unlike Mr. Kern, I do not think Sections 361-362 of HR 4205 was a simple CYA for the DoD. Rather, I think it was a stealth move by Clinton as the largest gun grab in the history of America. Check out the links for yourself and welcome to "The Big Picture." More and more, it looks like it is time to "Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition!" For years, I have been preaching the fact that the UN/OAS, and NGOs--financed by the major foundations such Joyce, Ford, Carnegie, Rockefeller, MacArthur, Soros and Rubin--are our most dangerous foes to Liberty and the power behind the gun-grabbers. These same foundations (or most of them) support the Eco-nuts. Many of these elitists serve on interlocking directorships. All have a socialist agenda. That is to lock up over 50% of land in America from all but the most restricted usage, herd Americans onto reservations and force One World Government upon us. They know the only way they can accomplish this is to disarm American citizens first. To change the way Americans think, these elitists took over our education system decades ago and are busily turning our children into good little globalist worker bees for the human hive they envision.

The changes implement the "Model Regulations for the Control of the International Movement of Firearms, Their Parts and Components, and Ammunition" which President Clinton directed the Secretaries of State, Commerce, and Treasury to implement after the second Summit of the Americas, in Santiago, Chile. The purpose of the Model Regulations is to provide standardized procedures for the international movement of firearms, their parts and components, and ammunition so as to prevent illegal trafficking in these articles. The new regulations will go into effect on June 20, 2000.
