Gun Control: To some, concern over a U.N. Arms Trade Treaty set to take effect Dec. 24 is much ado about nothing. But a president unconstrained by Congress or the Constitution may try to impose severe limits on gun rights.

All treaties must be ratified by two-thirds of the Senate, and that's not about to happen in the case of the unratified Arms Trade Treaty (ATT), particularly after the 2014 election that gave the GOP Senate control.

The same, of course, could have been said about the Kyoto Protocol and other climate change deals that mandate that governments tie their economies in knots to meet arbitrary emission goals to save the planet. The Senate has not and won't ratify any of those either.

Yet a president who pays no attention to Congress or the Constitution has through Environmental Protection Agency regulations sought to impose Kyoto and cap-and-trade through regulation and fiat.

The Orwellian-named United Nations Office for Disarmament Affairs, which has disarmed none of the world's tyrants or terrorists, has announced on its website that the ATT will take effect on Christmas Eve, a lump of coal in the stockings of anyone who believes, as our Founding Fathers did when they wrote the Second Amendment, that guns in the hands of private citizens are the best defense against predators, terrorists and, yes, tyrannical governments.

If true, and I’m not saying it isn’t, then this is a great wrong.

Then we've been incorporating such "great wrongs" since at least 1941

Go here to learn more. Yes, I wrote it.

Interesting.

[[The law enforcement here said that wasn’t going to happen]]

Just like they said in NY when Cuomo forced unconstitutional gun laws on it’;s citizens? Or in Chicago? Or Connecticut? or or or? The NY poklice said the same thing, yet when ordered to go and confiscate weapons, they did just that-

[[A couple of the cop nazis in Connecticut might want to try.]]

Pssst- they are already doing it-

[[All treaties must be ratified by two-thirds of the Senate, ]]

Actually, it's worse than that.

I think those police forces were infiltrated and they knew that 70% or more of their career or civil servant pay was going to come into play...

But I agree with you - just because one sheriff says that it is NOT going to happen - I’ve the govt as a whole back step on about everything it says...I don’t rust the govt, but I do rely and count on it’s citizens!

time will tell...
