The Marxists of the world, seeing one of their own now the 'leader' of their greatest obstacle, are steamrolling ahead on their agenda to create a monopoly on force for themselves.
No one can be surprised at this.

Countries of the world gathered at the United Nations in New York on 2-27 July 2012 for an historical initiative in the area of conventional arms: to negotiate an Arms Trade Treaty (ATT). The Treaty would establish high common standards for international trade in conventional arms. The Conference could not reach agreement on a treaty text. The General Assembly of the United Nations has decided to convene a Final Conference on the ATT, in March 2013, to conclude the work begun in July 2012.
In this case only John Kerry need sign it on behalf of Obama and the second amendment goes by by. Spread the word.
Ammunition
Stockpiled ammunition can become unsafe if not properly stored. Unintended explosions of ammunition depots have affected over 60 countries worldwide, leading to thousands of casualties over the past 15 years. Moreover, when depots are not well managed, they can form an unremitting source for diversion of ammunition to armed groups and criminals, thus sustaining conflict and armed criminal activity.
Through UN SaferGuard, the UN works on making stockpiles safer and more secure.

Heads up on this tweet:

AGENDA OF TREATY CONVENTION
this started YESTERDAY!

We can build on that when it comes to firearms. First, there's the United States and Yemen, and then there's the rest of the world.
Guarantee Yemenies will give up their guns to the UN just about never ~ neither will we.
does not matter because it criminalizes “rights”.
ammunition storage becomes supervised.
UN rather than federal registration is just as sinister.
Are the Russkies and ChiComs going to signs on?
apparently they have now said yes.
addendum:
they are viewing it as a means of internal opposition control.
an international AWB if you will.
Feinstein is looking to have the last laugh on the american people.
Maybe this is why Obama has Homeland Security, FEMA....even NASA buying billions of bullets and assault vehicles against Americans before he signs it.
A treaty that is not consistent with our Constitution is void under our domestic law. See Reid v. Covert.
Constitutional Limitations on the Treaty Power
Justia.com
http://law.justia.com/constitution/us/article-2/19-constitutional-limitations-on-treaty-power.html
Excerpt:
“As statutes may be held void because they contravene the Constitution, it should follow that treaties may be held void, the Constitution being superior to both. And indeed the Court has numerous times so stated.”
TREATIES DO NOT SUPERCEDE THE CONSTITUTION
http://www.famguardian.org/Subjects/LawAndGovt/Articles/Treaties.htm
Thomas Jefferson was clear on this point: "If the treaty power is unlimited, then we don't have a Constitution. Surely the President and the Senate cannot do by treaty what the whole government is interdicted from doing in any way." Alexander Hamilton agreed: "a treaty cannot be made which alters the Constitution of the country or which infringes any express exceptions to the power of the Constitution of the United States."(2)
In spite of all of the obvious above, some people doggedly insist that "treaties supersede the Constitution" because they want treaties to supersede the Constitution so they can escape the chains of the Constitution! And they plan and scheme relentlessly toward achieving that end. Some even boast of having made an end run around the Constitution.
A more full citation for my earlier mention.
“This Court has regularly and uniformly recognized the supremacy of the Constitution over a treaty” (Reid v. Covert, October 1956, 354 U.S. 1, at pg 17).
See my six comments beginning with the following (comment #11) for quotes, citations, etc (especially Reid v Covert). As our Supreme Court has stated on quite a few occasions, treaties cannot supersede our Constitution.
