I get a little tired of these “Treaty Threads” that do not offer factual acknowledgment that treaties have to be ratified by 2/3 of the Congress before they can take effect in the US.
This is why the US did not participate in Kyoto even though Rev. AlGore signed it. It is also the reason why the US did not participate in the League of Nations and had to negotiate a separate peace treaty with Germany after WWI.
I really don’t care what Obamao and company do with the UN Gun Ban treating. It will never be ratified.
From the article: "The Heritage Foundation's assessment of the small arms treaty brings up a horrifying proposition that the theory of 'international norms' means the U.S. might be bound by the treaty even if we never sign on. Basically, once the small arms treaty is accepted by enough nations, the argument can be made that the provisions become accepted practice and binding on all nations. Based on that logic, America is hurt by the U.N. treaty whether we are a party to it or not. Such a vague and ill-defined set of circumstances is exactly the type of Trojan horse President Obama needs as cover to inflict his dream of an anti-gun utopia on America."
