The Review Conference on Illicit Small Arms Trade adopted a consensus outcome document that states in Article 2, Paragraph 4 that signatories to the treaty would establish or update, as appropriate, and maintain a national control list that shall include the items that fall within paragraph A1 . Paragraph A1 includes small personal firearms.

once a treaty is ratified by the Senate, it becomes the supreme law of the land. I don't believe this is the case.

Once it is ratified by the states, then it becomes the law of the land.

It will pass the Senate, I fear. It will pass on the narrowest margin, but it will pass.
I wonder if shoot-n-see makes “UN-blue” target stickers?

This is an impeachable offense, attempting to bind US citizen to laws that they, through congress, have explicitly rejected.

“once a treaty is ratified by the Senate, it becomes the supreme law of the land.”
Well yes unless its totally unconstitutional. No treaty trumps the Constitution. But we all need to make known to our senators that this is unacceptable and to vote no. Personally I don’t believe this treaty has the 67 votes needed in the Senate and will not have.

You need 2/3 of the Senate.

Seeing as the Constitution is a ‘living document’ now it can mean anything. I suspect the treaty will cruise on thru. If it doesnt that ill be better. If it does thats part of what the 2nd is for.

...and yet the answer is still “NO”. Regardless of how they decide to kill our 2A rights, just “NO”. Why is this so hard to understand?

I fail to see how a mere treaty with a foreign power or corrupt organization can trump the US Constitution. Could a UN treaty end free speech, allow UN “peace keeper” troops to be housed in private residences, end trial by jury or allow UN “inspectors” to enter my residence without a warrant? If a treaty only ratified by the US Senate can end the Bill of Rights why are we signing such treaties?

We said the same thing about Obamacare. Please believe me, I do NOT want this, but in today’s political climate, I’m not holding to hope for much anymore.

This is just my personal feeling but there are currently so many things going on to bring about CWII I think we are going to be sorting the country out well before the 2016 election. So all this stuff will end up being moot.

I’ve talked to several active and reserve members of the Armed Forces and they all said that this will be regarded by the military as an act of war upon the Constitution and the American people.

The democrats have always liked the UN because they look at it as a tool to get around the Constitution.

I thought Kerry was pro-hunting, isn’t that the same as a friend to the 2A? Sliding around on his snake belly with his trusty double barrel hunting deer...
To: Joe Brower
Despots like the evil one first use the direct approach to get their stuff done...when that fails....they try the end run, like this idea about a treaty.....when that fails they implement by edict. So, if this does not (it won’t) become ratified, look for his niceness (phoney) to just declare it so.
