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.

67 Senators need to sign it. 2/3rds of Senate necessary to ratify foreign treaties. “[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”

Correct. Treaties require approval by the U.S. Senate. It doesn't matter if they happen to be out of session at the time.

I hope all the gun owners in Indiana, Missouri, Montana and North Dakota who thought it would stylish to elect a Democrat because the GOP candidate said something stupid in the heat of an election campaign are proud of themselves.

The Senate has already voted 53-46-1 earlier this year to tell the administration to NOT sign the treaty, so the possibility of getting 67 votes in favor of adopting the treaty is nonexistent.

NSA already knows what you have and how much you put through it on a regular basis.

This will just make that registry ‘legal’.
