On August 24 officials from the Obama administration will be attending the UN Arms Trade Treaty (ATT) conference in Mexico City.
The ATT was signed by Secretary of State John Kerry on September 25, 2013 but never ratified by the US Senate. Nevertheless, Gun Owners of America reports that Obama officials will be in Mexico City for the conference.
Breitbart News previously reported that the ATT is an international gun control treaty designed to be implemented apart from, or in spite of, the general framework of governance for countries that are signatories to it.
Thus, while it will not do away with the Second Amendment on paper, it will subjugate the Second Amendment to the ATT’s gun controls if Obama administration officials return and implement the plans they will discuss in Mexico City.
ATT was pushed under the guise of stopping “small arms [and] light weapons” from crossing borders. And when it was being discussed in 2013, Breitbart News warned that firearm registration must proceed from the ATT if it is to be enforceable. After all, how can agents tasked with enforcing this treaty ascertain the origin of smuggled weapons without a comprehensive registration on file?
Moreover, the NRA pointed out that the treaty all but calls for a registry from the start inasmuch as it requires “importing countries to provide information to an exporting country regarding arms transfers, including ‘end use or end user documentation’ for a ‘minimum of ten years.’” This information on “end users” is not only a de-facto international gun registry but one that could be “made available to foreign governments.”

Yep, enough talk......
UNaccountable bureaucrats conferring with UNaccountable totalitarians about issues of life, liberty? LOL! That ought to go over well in the republic…oh, wait…
UNaccountable bureaucrats are socialists.
DEFUND/DISMANTLE their collectives.
F UN
“Obama Ratifies Treaties on his own, now. He simply orders that all federal agencies adhere to the terms of the Treaty and orders that the Court uphold its provisions. The Republic is over”.
It’s been over for a while.
In ‘93 the UN sent up the Convention on Biological Diversity. A radical treaty that the U.S. Senate rejected when they were shown just one tensy weensy feature: The Wildlands Project maps which has a goal of “50% of the land in Core Wilderness Reserves” which would have little or no human use.
After being shelved by the Senate Clinton issued Ex Order 12852 which created the hand picked commission to implement the un-ratified treaty.
So, you see...we don’t need any stinkin ratification when we are ruled by Executive Fiat.
Agenda 21 is in progress all over the land.
Now what is that idiot going to do? We’re better off when he’s playing golf.
Just Remember Thomas Jefferson's words: “The beauty of the Second Amendment is that it will not be needed until they try to take it.”
If not for the four minutes it took me to find the photo, we would have been simultaneous... '-)

The Iran deal is a model for what he wants to do about gun control. Push a deal through the UN that requires us to go along, and then dare the Congress to try to override it.

BINGO!!
LOL Yep, GMTA
Great picture.
One of our troops, fresh back from Macedonia under the UN, offered up a blue beret for "the minute".
Afterward, it was hard to determine that it had even been a beret... '-)
~~~~~~~~~~~
Too bad we didn't have a blue helmet; that would have made quite the coffee table conversation piece -- after we dulled down the sharp edges...
LOL That’s great.
We had something like “mad minutes” when on Fire Bases in Nam. Sometimes in the mornings we’d find the bodies.
when the Mexicans were holding Sgt Tahmooressi no one from the obama regime visited mexico on his behalf....classy not!
Of course not, but it was featured on a recent NCIS episode.
After one of those “minutes” on my private range, I have to take my front loader and re-build the backstop berm behind that target position — especially after it has rained... ‘-)
The last time Obama officials Clinton, Holder and Obama went to Mexico City to discuss guns, the deal they cut was to supply El Chapo’s Sinaloa Cartel with unlimited weapons bought in the USA with DEA money by illegal aliens, smuggle them across the border, and ensure the Sinaloa defeat of the Juarex Cartel in a bloody Juarez street battle lasting a couple of years, so that Sinaloa could have unfettered access to the main supply routes to Chicago from El Paso. BATFE, FBI, DEA, and Border Patrol all cooperated in this international illegal gunrunning drug running operation, and Congress was stonewalled for years on testimony. El Chapo is free now to enjoy the fruits of his monopoly takeover of the Mexico drug trade bound for all destinations in the US.
This upcoming Mexico visit is nothing to do with UN treaty on small arms. It is everything to do with Obama’s continued control of the drug trade into the American nations heartland. The corrupt criminal US communist government only cares about money to corrupt the system and destroy the country.
