“PASSED BY THE UN????? A joke, right?
NRA thinking same as I apparently, NEVER underestimate your opponent... everybody PLEASE call your Senator!
Obama in a Big Hurry to Sign Oppressive UN ‘Small Arms Treaty’ (Next Month!)
Well, that goes in line with him being an Oppressive doesnt it?
Is this all part of his trying to destroy our right of self-defense under the radar?
The senate Donks and RINOs know damned well they’d be skinned in their next election if they signed off on this. It won’t happen— Barky can pledge to sign all he wants but his signature would be meaningless.
Ratification of this treaty would require approval by 67 Senators. The leftists will not get 67 Senators to approve this, either before or after November.
Thus Obama would be doing us a favor to sign this treaty now, thereby handing us another club with which to beat him in the run-up to November.
I predict a rash of unfortunate boating accidents...shame we all took all of our weapons out in the boat that one time.
Dude is on crack and high as hell with all his victories by SCOTUS.
I don’t see him getting 2/3rds of the Senate for ratification.
Well, they had the numbers in their favor then. Not so now.
SO IS THERE AN ACTUAL TIMELINE OR DATE CERTAIN FOR HUSSEIN TO ENGAGE THE SENATE?
WE HAVE BEEN HEARING ABOUT THIS FOR YEARS BUT THERE IS NO DATE CERTAIN I AM AWARE OF AND NONE INDICATED IN YOUR POSTING.
My concern is that Obama is going to circumvent the Senate altogether. He’s already circumvented Congress with EOs, and there’s absolutely no response from any lawmaker on any of his wrongdoings. Every chamber is silent on Obama’s usurpation of power.
I have little faith Obama will abide by any advice or consent (or lack thereof) from the higher chamber.
Better to go down with a pile of spent cartridge casings at your feet than to submit to one iota of this. This, I pledge.
Guess I’ll have to kill someone who tries to take my weapons . Bring it on !!
Don’t be so sure it won’t pass — considering the many anti-American numbnuts we have in that place.
“When They Take Them From My Cold,Dead Hands”!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If that bill is passed you will see a huge increase in the crime rate in this country.
You can bet that the Swiss and the Yemeni, where every male over 16 carries an AK-47, will never give up their guns and that the UN will never ask them to do so.
This is clearly a case where the UN is singling out the US to change its Constitution and they know that, with Obama as POTUS, the time has arrived to do so.
“Most treaties submitted to the Senate have received its advice and consent to ratification. During its first 200 years, the Senate approved more than 1,500 treaties and rejected only 21. A number of these, including the Treaty of Versailles, were rejected twice. Most often, the Senate has simply not voted on treaties that its leadership deemed not to have sufficient support within the Senate for approval, and in general these treaties have eventually been withdrawn. At least 85 treaties were eventually withdrawn because the Senate never took final action on them. Treaties may also remain in the Senate Foreign Relations Committee for extended periods, since treaties are not required to be resubmitted at the beginning of each new Congress. There have been instances in which treaties have lain dormant within the committee for years, even decades, without action being taken.” - taken from US Senate website:

For whatever its worth, the Senate ratified Obama’s 70% reduction in deployed nuclear warheads (2011, New START Treaty).
O will do what he usually does. Sign a UN agreement and if the senate objects, go the back door route and enforce it through his departments(that already control most everything)with EOs. A few examples of this are immigration, energy and environmental “concerns”.
