U.N Adopts the Arms treaty.

[VIP3R 237]

So what does this mean for you and I, and will we see even more of a panic now?

So is this what is supposed to kill...say...my ability to purchase a new HK handgun? Or my ability to purchase a new Benelli M4 shotgun?

Doesn't mean ****all until the Senate ratifies it.

This is the least of our problems.

I don't think they will vote for this due to we are the largest arms exporter in the world.

[Failure2Stop]

This seems to be much ado about nothing.
We already have ITAR, and every country that sends weapons to the US for import already has to pass silly import laws and restrictions.
Even if it said, "No civilians in any UN member nation may own a weapon", we are still protected as the US Constitution supersedes all treaties and international agreements.

Among those things (and imported ammunition) it mandates that participating countries "establish national regulations to control the transfer of conventional arms, parts and components". Sounds like registration to me.

OTOH, the Senate, on March 23, voted 53-46 to recommend against the US voting for treaty (amendment to a budget resolution). Obviously Obama decided to ignore that in directing his ambassador to vote for it. There is a Senate bill pending to block Obama from signing the treaty, and there's already a budget bill passed (Sen. Jim Inhofe (R-OK) to block funding for its implementation. Now the treaty has to be signed, then ratified. Given the vote mentioned above, a 2/3 Senate majority voting to ratify the treaty seems unlikely.

Ain't that the truth.

Which as I pointed out many moons ago is why they are lobbying so hard for the Senate & flooding the borders by attempting to buy votes w/ Nanny State entitlements etc. Didn't say they would be efficacious in their pursuit.

Make no mistake (not directed @ GSJ) it is happening & think outside the box instead of insulting people w/ ad homenims or condescending diatribes that you would not say to their face vis a vis who have done the research & understand the concepts & mechanisms in play.

I'm far more concerned about what my state might do, or what comes out of the Senate in the coming weeks.

The UN treaty is the wrong fight at the wrong time.

It's a distraction from other things, and a cynical man might say this was intentional.
