Everything Obama tackles in office is strategically timed and politically motivated. He only looks out for himself, his fellow liberals, and his anti-gun agenda.

He made sure the Benghazi cover up was swept under the rug until he got re-elected. He will wait to attack certain issues until the 2014 Congressional elections so he’ll know how many liberals are by his side.

Obama believes now is the best time to sign the UN Gun Treaty since Congress is out of Washington. He will have less scrutiny to worry about if Congress is not nearby.

He can sign it, doesn’t mean it’ll be enforceable.

And if he tries anyway, all it’s gonna do is get a bunch of folks killed.

The treaty still has to be ratified by 60 Senators IIRC.

Even if they did get 60 to do it, and even if Obama did implement a national gun registry, I would not, will not comply. I’m not registering sh!t.

Does not a treat need to be ratified by the U.S. Senate?

To paraphrase Andrew Jackson: “Obama has made his decision; now let him enforce it!”

In what universe is it important when Obama signs a treaty. It isn’t law till it is ratified by 2/3 of the Senate.

And even then a treaty cannot override the Constitution.

The Constitution provides that the president "shall have Power, by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, to make Treaties, provided two-thirds of the Senators present concur"

The Senate's Role in Treaties

They don’t have enough guns and ammo and nazis in the world to deal with what’s going to happen if that bastard and the democrats somehow pull off this treason. And that’s all I’ll say about that.

(from the article):" These back door tactics are nothing new for the Obama Administration,
which is why we are using tactics of our own to stop his anti-gun agenda."

Obviously, Obummer and (UpChuckie) Schumer went to the same Saul Alinsky school so as to accomplish legislation via back door.
This is the issue where you call all your representatives to advise them that to agree with this bill is political suicide
regardless of their party affiliation.
This is just the latest attack on our Constitution , this time comming from the international
Commie/Islamo/Pansey/ effeminate community known as the U.N. : now known as the New World Order.
Now time for Statesmen ,..not Politicians !!

Will never be ratified by Senate (could happen), will be shot down by SCOTUS (could ignore constitution like Obamacare ruling and let it stand), nobody will ever comply (some will but most will not and many will die) give up your guns and give up your freedom.

Now we in California are facing laws to be passed in October that make all semi-auto .22LR rim fire rifles assault weapons that must be registered, outlaw AR type Rifles and Ruger Mini-14's and any existing that are owned turned in or registered, require all long guns to be registered (all hand guns already registered), outlaw all magazines even those already owned that hold more then 10 rounds illegal and must be turned in or destroyed, ban Internet ammo sales and require registration and thumb print to buy ammo, add a 10% tax to all ammo, if you have more than one DUI in a two year period they can confiscate your guns for 10 years, and it only gets worse. My Sheriff has already stated the laws are unconstitutional, unenforceable, and will be ignored in the County. Many other California Sheriffs have said the same thing. Either way this state is going to instantly create several million paper felons, millions of outlaws, and will get a lot of innocent people killed. NUTS!

Utter and complete bullsh*t.

This crap about the UN wimps confiscating guns has been going around since 1995.

It still hasn’t happened because the UN wimps don’t know how to confiscate arms. Don’t believe me? Read how the UN wimps confiscated arms in Rwanda. It DIDN”T happen.

We NEED TO HAMMER EVERY SINGLE DEMOCRAT (From Dog Catcher on Up to Governor) about IF THEY SUPPORT OBAMA IN HIS GUN-GRABBING policies and priority (rather than the American economy)..

Let’s let ‘em own it and kill them in 2014 over Obama and his bad, evil, destructive and devious policies!

NEVER will get 2/3 votes - DOA, so why Obama even will bother to sign it, other than to feel good about himself ...

Reid v. Covert, 354 U.S. 1 (1957), was a landmark United States Supreme Court case in which the Court ruled that the Constitution supersedes international treaties ratified by the United States Senate. According to the decision, “this Court has regularly and uniformly recognized the supremacy of the Constitution over a treaty,” although the case itself was with regard to an executive agreement, not a “treaty” in the U.S. legal sense, and the agreement itself has never been ruled unconstitutional.
