Obama and his anti-gun European allies vowed to ensure every nation’s “entry into force of the Arms Trade Treaty.”

And that’s not all.

In a meeting of non-governmental organizations and U.N. officials, Obama’s Assistant Secretary of State declared that the White House is “already implementing the treaty” without Senate ratification!

Rather than worry about the senate RATifying this POS, steps can be implemented that will still carry the weight of law. After all, a pen and phone are far superior to a sword. Right?

Good luck with this one, Obama....LOL!

POS Marxist

Emperor Obama could care less about senate ratifications or anything else they might do for that matter. The senate is a toothless tiger.

Get ready for gun sales to surge again.

If he does it, a loyal ‘opposition’ would close the government, including all the commie agencies, by denying funds.

The Republican Senate needs to pull out the whole pile of signed but unratified treaties and vote against them. If Obama is going to follow treaties which are in an unratified Limbo, then they need to be taken out of that Limbo and voted straight to Hell.

Hey 0bama - start by having your Secret Service carry cans of corn instead of weapons. If you don’t, neither will I.(Even if you do, I won’t!)

One of the things he has done is to block importation of collectable firearms and popular surplus ammunition.

[PGalt]

UNaccountable bureaucracies are part of socialists machinery.

DEFUND/DISMANTLE the U.N. Enemies foreign.

FUN

Check$ and Balance$, eh? CONgre$$?

[NTHockey]

Unless and until someone stops the half breed, he will continue to do what he wants, regardless of what some piece of paper says. Absent courage from the jello-spined perverts, thieves and liars in Versailles on the Potomac, he is NOT going to step down next year.

Get ready for gun sales to surge again.

2014 was a lackluster year for the industry, so this would be ok, at least from the industry's point of view. Obviously the firearms community doesn't want or need any more restrictions.

[SMARTY]

“...the White House is “already implementing the treaty” without Senate ratification!”

Can THAT be?

[snowtigger]

Obama can decree any gun ban he wants, and the Senate can confirm all the treaties in the world, but until the Second Amendment is repealed, they don't mean anything.

Our forefathers fought one war against one king with a pen. This might be enough cause to fight another.

[Obadiah]

Exactly.

[Paine in the Neck]

While everyone’s focused on the impossibility of this getting ratified in the Senate please take a moment to consider what happens when it is in force elsewhere. How many popular foreign firearms and ammunition sources will be cut off because the source countries have put this treaty into force?

[drypowder]

“If the U.S. Senate fails to stand strong against the U.N. Gun Ban Treaty, and fight back against every backdoor attempt by the Obama administration to implement it, we will lose our gun rights and effectively lose our national sovereignty.”

there are simply too many armed US patriots to stop that from ever happening.

[snowtigger]

That is a really good idea.If these treaties are laying there unratified, they must be bad for our country.

Attn; US SENATE, DO YOUR JOB. VOTE THEM DOWN!!!

[ForYourChildren]

Good luck?

He will probably do it. He has two years left. He won’t be impeached. He isn’t afraid of anything or no one. He isn’t afraid of single handedly creating any law he wants. He doesn’t care!!

It would also set the stage for an international gun registration system which in turn could pave the way for the eventual banning and confiscation of firearms.

Listen up, there is no way Americans will submit to Sharia if they have Guns, We need to get rid of guns as soon as possible so as not to offend any peaceful muslims. once the guns are gone we will be Sharia. Got it!
