Arming the Taliban; Disarming Americans By Charles Taylor (Florida)
Donald Trump Jr. is much more coherent than his old man, and often nails it. He has pointed out that Biden has armed the Taleban, America’s enemy with advanced weaponry, yet is moving to disarm ordinary Americans, as well as pushing for world-wide gun control, of civilians in reality. It is one of the agendas of the New World Order. Thus, the first act of the Taliban government was firearms confiscation of their subjects.

“Donald Trump Jr. tweeted Wednesday that while the Biden Administration has been targeting law-abiding Americans, the Taliban has been arming up with machine guns.
Moreover, Trump Jr. suggested the Biden Administration appears to have “no issue with this” dichotomy between limiting the freedoms of law-abiding citizens while leaving behind machine guns that the Taliban now possesses.
On August 20, 2021, the U.K. Independent noted, “The US spent about $83 billion over the last two decades on training and equipping the Afghan military. The sum included more than 75,000 vehicles, nearly 600,000 weapons and more than 200 aircraft.”
The paper also pointed out that President Joe Biden’s national security advisor Jake Sullivan admitted that the administration did not have a “complete picture” on how much arms and equipment were left behind during the U.S. withdrawal, however, he noted, “a fair amount of it has fallen into the hands of the Taliban.”
Also on August 20, 2021, Breitbart News reported about video of an alleged parade in which Taliban sympathizers marched through streets of the regional capital Qalat while holding U.S.-made firearms. The parade was initially covered by Eram News.”
“State Department official William Malzahn spoke August 31, 2021, at the Seventh Conference of States Parties to the Arms Trade Treaty and made clear the Biden Administration is committed to international gun control.
Malzahn is the Acting Deputy Director of the Office of Conventional Arms Threat Reduction at the U.S. Department of State.
An NRA-ILA transcript of Malzahn’s speech, obtained by Breitbart News, shows an emphatic emphasis on international gun control and specific, repeated mention, of the Arms Trade Treaty (ATT).
Malzahn’s opening comments:
I have come from Washington D.C. this week to take the floor on the agenda item Treaty Universalization to underscore the continuing commitment of the United States to responsible international trade in conventional arms. The United States has long supported strong and effective national controls on the international transfer of conventional arms, and the Arms Trade Treaty is an important tool from promoting those controls internationally.
He spoke about the Conventional Arms Transfer Policy (CAT), the current guiding policy for “arms transfers,” noting that the Biden Administration has been working to strengthen CAT. He stressed that the changes in CAT were guided by “respect for international law and human rights and U.S. national security interests in arms transfers.”
Malzahn also pointed out that the revised CAT policy will provide a “framework to review specific arms transfer issues, including determining the proper relationship of the United States to the Arms Trade Treaty.”
In mid-December 2016, Breitbart News reported then-President Barack Obama’s efforts to secure ratification of the Arms Trade Treaty.
The 2016 push came after Obama’s failure to secure ratification in 2013 garnered a lot of attention. Breitbart News reported the treaty was signed by Secretary of State John Kerry on September 25, 2013, but it was not binding because Republican Senators shot down ratification efforts.
The NRA warned against the Arms Trade Treaty in 2013, noting, “This treaty threatens individual firearm ownership with an invasive registration scheme [and is full of regulations and requirements that are] blatant attacks on the constitutional rights of every law-abiding American.”
The “registration scheme” referenced by the NRA is the treaty’s means of monitoring and controlling the movement of “small arms and light weapons across borders.” To that end, the treaty encourages records for “end use or end [users]” to be maintained for “a minimum of ten years” after the weapons reach their final destination. This requires the creation of a database of sales records – which would include information on the weapons and the owners – and that information would be internationally maintained; after all, this is a U.N. treaty.”
