For nearly 2 decades, possible adoption of the United Nations Arms Trade Treaty has concerned gun owners who fear the deliberate destruction of their 2nd Amendment rights.
On December 24th the ATT goes into effect in the United States thanks to the signature of John Kerry on behalf of the Obama Administration. Beginning today, Coach is Right will provide background and current information on Treaty terms and what they can mean to Americans across the nation.

In 2006, the United Nations decided it was time to explore “…the feasibility, scope and draft parameters for a comprehensive, legally binding instrument establishing common international standards for the import, export and transfer of conventional weapons.”
The Bush administration voted against the creation of this proposed Arms Trade Treaty, believing that such oversight would be more productive on a national level. But on October 30th, 2009 Barack Hussein Obama reversed course, quite possibly turning the sovereignty of the United States, its Constitution and the rights of its gun owning public over to Secretary General Ban Ki-moon and the member states. Many believe this decision to represent a serious threat to the right of the American people to keep and bear arms.
Claiming that the UN treaty would affect only international arms trafficking, Hillary Clinton said, “conventional arms transfers are a crucial national security concern for the United States, and we have always supported effective action to control the international transfer of arms.” But former UN Ambassador John Bolton is not buying the international aspect. In an interview with NRA News, Bolton stated, “the administration is trying to act as though this is really just a treaty about international arms trade between nations, but there’s no doubt…that the real agenda here is domestic firearms control.” Continuing on, “…many...

No worries. Obama will Executive Order any of that nonsense away.

You mean the same traiors that approved Obamacare and Amnestycare?
I think the NSA files and stuffed envelopes are assisting The One in circumventing the will of the Amercan people at every turn. If he isn’t the Anti -Christ he’s on speed dial...
Yet another question to put to all Republican candidates for POTUS:
“Will you abrogate (revoke formally) this treaty?”
Importantly, the candidate has only two options. To say “Yes”, or to not only quit the race, but to leave any other office they occupy, as unworthy to occupy any position of trust or confidence.
Anything they say, other than an unequivocal “Yes”, must mean the end of their career. The “Yes” for this answer is so important that they must put it in writing.
_> So even if the UN Treaty never goes into effect in the US, will its effect on other countries prevent our importation of foreign arms and ammo? If so, this will still hit us hard.
I think tat the intent and there is a record keeping article in there somewhere too. I think it’s Article 12...
It’s not going to happen that way. In fact it isn’t happening that way. Eric Holder let the cat out of the bag on the strategy some time ago. They will use anti smoking style propaganda to demonize firearms at the same time they pass more regulations that choke off gun manufacturing and ownership. At some point if you are known to have a gun you won’t be able to get any healthcare or any type licenses or maryiad of other services.
And of course gun owners will continue to sit on their asses waiting for the storm troopers that will never come.
As I said: for what it’s worth
