The United States, the world’s largest arms dealer, has joined more than 90 other nations in signing a treaty that regulates global arms trading, but there is strong resistance in the Senate, which must ratify it.

Secretary of State John Kerry, who signed the Arms Trade Treaty on Wednesday, said it was a “significant step” in keeping the world safe and preventing terrorists and others from obtaining conventional weapons. …

Addressing U.S. critics of the treaty, the former senator said fears that it would undermine Americans’ constitutional right to keep and bear arms are not grounded in reality.

For one, the treaty does not regulate domestic weapons sales. …

The U.S. did NOT sign it.

Kerry did.

Means nothing!

The treaty clearly calls for some kind of internal registration and tracking of all firearms— so Kerry and the AP (”All Propaganda”) are lying, as usual.

Is this a back door way for them to criminalize and fine the U.S with huge awards to countries Eric and Barry send guns to? You know, distribute wealth to our ‘friends’? After all, all those guns came from the U.S. right?

UNCONSTITUTIONAL! as Mr Heston said, pry it out of this great grandma’s hands.

Most important news story of the day bump!

Secretary of State John Kerry, who signed the Arms Trade Treaty on Wednesday, said it was a “significant step” in keeping the world safe and preventing terrorists and others from obtaining conventional weapons.

Yet, they send arms across the border in Fast and Furious to known criminal elements, while also supplying arms to Libyan and Syrian based AQ groups.

DOA in Congress.

[Red Steel]

The clown in the WH likely will attempt to implement his interpretation of treaty without consent of the Senate.

[DoughtyOne]

Kerry’s signature will be used to get the U.N. nation participation rate up to the point where this is ratified at the U.N.

Once that’s done, it doesn’t really matter what the U.S. Senate does. It’s still considered international law. And international law trumps U.S. law.

So what if U.S. Citizens object? It’s a done deal.

Clinton did it with the I.C.C. Now Kerry is doing it on behalf of the U.S.

If our Senate ratifies or not, it doesn’t matter.

The U.N. gun grabbers will have achieved their goal.

Had to LOL that statement.

It is all foreign and domestic enemies who are not grounded in reality. They don’t seem to understand what it means to be free AND armed.

It is not achieved prior to them prying guns out of “cold, dead hands”

[driftdiver]

“They don’t seem to understand what it means to be free AND armed.”

They understand they do not want the lower class to be armed. It inhibits the ‘elites’ freedom to control the lower class.

But hardly endorced.

[CivilWarBrewing]

DOA in Congress? 0bama views Congress as irrelevant and has already shown he can get away with whatever he so desires. He’ll issue EO’s using the ATT as his AUTHORIZATION to forward national gun registration, then confiscation.

And while the eyes of the nation (and of FR) were on Ted Cruz, the Agenda rolled merrily on.

Correction: “Hardly enforced.”
