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. …

Domestically, we will be able to stave off action for a while. International trade will be affected at once.
Municipalities will develop their own rules based on international law bypassing our government.
It will get messy, and the courts will have to settle it.
What with idiots like Ginsberg siting foreign legal precedence for her decisions and the like, we shouldn’t feel very secure in our rights.
I'm reminded of the scene in the beginning of "Red Dawn", when they did just that...
Trading means and exchange of something. hussein and his buddies are taking weaponry from America so there is no exchange. Kerry can sign off on the treaty all day.
I agree, but look how the Kyoto protocols were slipped into our nation without our government signing on. States and municipalities implemented much of it. In many areas it’s the same as if our federal government had signed on.
Don’t expect this to be much different. There is going to be a full assault on the Second Amendment. We just as well get ready for it.
That is why you will see folks hiding their weapons.
That’s why you’ll see people being arrested and their licenses to work revoked, them classified as felons.
This is full tilt go after your citizens time.
I have to agree with you. Those that think that signature dosen’t mean much are in for a shock.
As for me, I’m going out for another several thousand rounds.
Those that think that we are going to comply with this are also in for a shock.
DO NOT USE SOCIAL OR POLITICAL MEDIA SITES TO MAKE COMMENTS THAT WILL COME BACK TO HAUNT YOU.
Seriously.
That is why I see a revolt coming down the road.
And so do they. Believe me, they have seen this coming because they knew their ultimate goals, and how folks would respond to their attempts to realize them.
Please see post number 29, it is a prediction.

Not grounded in reality
..
We’re talking sKerry here, folks.
W.A.S.S.
F DA UN .. Send the UN to Africa or EUrope.. With Kerry.
It is a serious prediction I made.
I guess being an illegal Senator, the Sec of State in violation of the law wasn’t enough for ketchup boy.
He’s moved on to TREASON!
John F’ing Kerry the SLUT boy!
Oh what a tangled web we weave when we practice to deceive!
One day John you will be called to account before the Throne.
REPENT!
IOW, they want to provoke a revolt.
I agree they want to spark a revolt.
These folks have gone completely around the bend.
I still want to know whether Holder or the Obama Administration received an IEEPA waiver, or special license from Commerce, for arming these groups.
There is no wiggle room in the IEEPA and nobody seems to be asking this question regarding Libya. If Bush had to get authorization for the lead up to Iraq, where is the special license for Obama?
They have . . . and what will happen is if it does occur and the USA’s focus turns inexorably inwards, then the other burgeoning world powers will rise up very quickly—and they are very hawkish in spite of their rhetoric, so WWIII will end up sneaking up behind our backs.
