The United Nations General Assembly on Tuesday signed off on a sweeping, first-of-its-kind treaty to regulate the international arms trade, brushing aside worries from U.S. gun rights advocates that the pact could lead to a national firearms registry and disrupt the American gun market.
The long-debated U.N. Arms Trade Treaty (ATT) requires countries to regulate and control the export of weaponry such as battle tanks, combat vehicles and aircraft and attack helicopters, as well as parts and ammunition for such weapons. It also provides that signatories will not violate arms embargoes, international treaties regarding illicit trafficking, or sell weaponry to a countries for genocide, crimes against humanity or other war crimes.
With the Obama administration supporting the final treaty draft, the General Assembly vote was 154 to 3, with 23 abstentions.

Even if gun ownership is safe in America under this treaty.....and that’s a big “if”.....the UN secretary mentioned something about this treated being expanded and “added to” in the future. Those comments got my attention!

With THIS administration absolutely anything is possible. That is true.
The Left have been redefining what the meaning of 'is' is. Words, ideas, values, our Constitution mean something, I intend to keep it that way.

better to die like a free man with a pile a spent cartridge cases at your feet than like an animal in one of those slaughterhouses. "Oh bother," said Pooh,

Why are you arguing with me? How about you go argue with the liberals? I didn't think we were arguing other than discussing what'll happen with that treaty in the Senate. Oh, and I absolutely argue with liberals.... but it's not very challenging! ;-)

NOTHING a collection of international Gangstas does overrides the Constitution.
Anyone in the US government who THINKS so is BEGGING for a Revolution.
Maybe that is why the Department of Homeland Security is stockpling all those bullet, weapons and tanks.

It's like 2.5 hours long. Too long to take from the reading assignments and papers that are due for my masters degree courses this semester. I'll have a look after the winter session is over and before I start my research course this summer. Thanks, though. It looks interesting.
