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.

“-What they said about Obamacare in March 2010....”
BINGO!!!!
How right you are - sad, but true.
Yep 200 gr. Hornady FTX in 348 Winchester.
Thumper.
You and me both, bro. I’ve been saving mine for that ‘rainy day’. Looks like it’s going to be a hard rain indeed.
History has an important lesson to teach in that regard: 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.
We live with a government subject to our Constitution & our Bill of Rights, not nutty measures set by the U.N.
Write, email or call your US Senators and tell them to vote against any foreign treaty or proposed law that diminishes our Second Amendment or other rights.
Go ahead, pull that trigger, punk!
[UN has no say.] Fate = Kyoto Protocol
LMAO! great commercial
Oooh! We’re getting quite a little group going on here. I’ll have to bring my Mosey after all, and not just the Mare’s Leg, 12 Ga, and 1911s.
They’ll soften up the opposition with drone fired hellfire missiles, first.
Well, it is pretty clear. The war is here. NOW- how many Americans are going to stay asleep?
Obamacare is not a treaty, you can’t EO a treaty, can’t ram through a treaty without creating a lot of bodies
Veto power can only be exercised in the Security Council, not the General Assembly which is a just who has the most votes for what.
Reid will hold the vote a 2:AM when there are only five democRats present.
United Nations General Assembly just gave the Mexican cartels a new line of work to go into.
You can look forward to shooting local cops with black tips because if there is any enforcement and confiscation coming out of this they'll be the ones doing it.
True...but a difference is that the senate majority leader is not fully on board this time. Gun ownership has gone up dramatically among women lately (dem constituency) and also is up about 10 percent among DEMOCRAT men.
Sure they’ll try but this will be harder than obamacare for them and they will never get the House on board.
Most of the people who voted for and supported Obamacare were re-elected.
