It’s amazing he is proposing ratifying a treaty his administration is violating.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CIFTA
“The Inter-American Convention Against Illicit Manufacturing of and Trafficking in Firearms (CIFTA), originally the Inter-American Convention Against Illicit Firearms Trafficking in the Americas, is an international firearms control treaty.”

“U.S. President Barack Obama has proposed that the U.S. ratify CIFTA.[2] Opponents are concerned that the measures contained within CIFTA could criminalize activities such as reloading ammunition if they are done without a license. Other provisions make unlicensed modification to any weapon a serious crime. Furthermore, there are provisions that expand infractions to larger groups of people effectively holding an organization responsible for the actions of a single member.”

Not really when you realize that his group is all about the selective enforcement of laws.
