Easy Win for GOP: Kill the UN's Backdoor Gun Grab

It comes as no surprise that Congress’ $1.3 trillion dollar omnibus budget package is rubbing raw the already thin patience of the Republican base. Rather than draining the swamp, which includes seizing this historic moment of Republican control of both Congress and the White House to dramatically cut government spending, Congress instead (with the support of the White House) is spending as recklessly as when Democrats were in charge. Couple this with scant legislative victories outside of President Donald Trump’s tax cuts, especially in regards to expanding gun rights, Republicans are doing little – literally – to motivate voters to show up in November, and keep them in power.

That is why killing the United Nation’s Arms Trade Treaty (ATT) is precisely the low-hanging fruit Republicans need to score a quick and much needed victory with conservatives. And, just as Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell prefers it, doing so would require virtually no effort on his part.

In September 2013, the Obama administration signed the UN-ATT, an international agreement that regulates the sale, transfer and export of conventional weapons, including “small arms and light weapons”; essentially every civilian firearm on the market.

Could have stopped right after "kill the u.n." But, I suppose small bites will help. Too bad this "low hanging fruit" will probably not even get a mention from the post turtle and the rest of the gopE. They don't want to offend or hurt the dems feelings now do they.

Lets see how Trump actually spends the money before we bleat like the sheep they take us for .

[Howie66]

Exactly!

As though the Media Maggots would ever be caught dead reporting the FACTS when it comes to President Trump.

[BuffaloJack]

I truly hate all things U.N.
Their plans for Gun Grab is at the top of the list.

I see what he did there.

Nice jab, Mr. Barr.

The Bush League Republicans want US disarmed as much as the Democrats do.

This is exactly why you don’t vote for dems.

Doogle :" ....and keep in mind, the UN has 49 muslim majority countries as members"

True That !
Musims believe that they have a right to "conquest" under jihad.
And realize that we are the only country who retain "God given rights" to self protection,
more commonly known as the Second Amendment.

DNC now pushing background checks for ammo purchase...???...more “control”

Yes, it is coming from the "Awan Family" tech insecurity enabler,
Debbie Washerwoman Schultz, herself.
Any wonder why the DNC, or CAIR, or the U.N. would want us unarmed ?

The most egregious monumentally stupid failure by the U.S.A. to veto the proposal in the UN in the 50s is still with us.
. It would have taken only the VETO of the US to accomplish.

I have no desire to educate the stupid and ignorant on this point.
Suffice to say that the Umah was the sole representative of the koranimals in the UN (at their insistence; the Ummah encompassed the entire muslim world as an indivisible unit.)

When the koranimals realized that by splitting up the Umah and gaining 56 votes in the general Assembly, they could...

a) Take over the U.N.
b) Eliminate Israel once and for all.

People with a brain, who had the IQ to anticipate unintended consequences were voices in the wilderness, and unfortunately none of them were representing the interests of the U.S.A. at the United Nations.
