It gives Obama nothing, considering it must still be ratified by 67 senators before it becomes anything other than a piece of paper in the United States...and even according to Harry Reid, their aren't even 40 senators who support Obama's current gun control plans.

“U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry said in a statement that the U.N. adopted “a strong, effective and implementable Arms Trade Treaty (ATT) that can strengthen global security while protecting the sovereign right of states to conduct legitimate arms trade.”
“Nothing in this treaty could ever infringe on the rights of American citizens under our domestic law or the Constitution, including the Second Amendment,” he added, referring to the U.S. constitutional amendment that guarantees the right to bear arms.”
Hey, ketchup boy....no one believes you....

Step by step, one step closer to TOTAL Gun Control. Do not stop the fight for our 2nd Amendment rights, Remember “Obamacare” (it will not pass!!!) But it did pass, and without our voice, this may also pass into law. Then what will we do? (give up our Guns? fight to keep our Guns?)I say it is better to fight NOW then later after the fact. What say you?

I’m sure the UN will be enforcing this throughout Africa and Asia.
Or is it just another scam to extort money from the USA?

The key areas of infringement appear to be the potential to reduce access to surplus firearms and ammunition, such as imports from Russia. Many enthusiasts enjoy inexpensive arms, such as the Mosin-Nagant rifle and appreciate access to inexpensive ammo, like 7.62x54. Are there other, practical or meaningful, impacts that are possible?
Remember, these are the same people who say that assault weapon bans, magazine limits and registration schemes don’t infringe on the 2nd Amendment, either!

That will affect imports and exports. Bills like the following are even more dangerous, along with domestic-violence-related and data collection bills (re. mental health, etc). Outlawing subgroups and grandfathering the current crop of firearms owners will be the way to eventually outlawing the Second Amendment altogether for everyone (divide and conquer voters).

An outstanding article and “It needs to be re-read form time-to-time.” (very true words)
There are a lot of great Quotes that are used to Remind us of our freedoms and GOD given rights. I like this one:
“For those who are in support of taking the guns, you need to ask yourself a very important question, and I am not just talking about the politicians, because if you support them, you have chosen your side.
Are you willing to die to take my guns?”

And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand?... The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt! If...if...We didn't love freedom enough. And even more we had no awareness of the real situation.... We purely and simply deserved everything that happened afterward.

I hope they are not because if they come for mine there will be hell to pay. I am not registering anything, I am not turning in anything, I am not getting any permits. In other words, call me a felon. I feel sorry for the minions these crazed politicians send out to enforce these laws and hope the public sees them as the messenger, in other words, aim farther up the chain of command.
