UN Treaty

[Nomad1]

Possible changes in the news, not looking so good for many in near future.
May be time to let our reps known how you feel about our rights

I predict our future will look something like this.

Choices are in the future for ownership, pressure the people we have to let them know how you feel or ownership will be LOST......

I have a feeling this piece of work with UN will go down about as well as "fast and furious" and Benghazi.

It will not affect us at all. Constitutional rights supersede international treaties.

as far as import and export we already have those laws, and the USA is the golden standard for importation and exportation of fire arms, this will only affect other countries with incredibly poor laws or no laws.

As much as I dislike Obama he did not call for a new AWB, what he did was mention it in response to a question and then quickly changed the subject to education. Obama is known for pushing and promoting things he really cares about, so far in his time as president he has mentioned it all of 3 sentences in 10 seconds. An AWB will not happen, Obama doesn't care about one, the Republicans control the House, Demand for gun control is at an all time low in the USA, there are enough Dem's that like their position enough to not commit career suicide by voting for an AWB, gun ownership is at an all time high in history, gun manufacturers and shop owners are at an all time high in history......it wont happen.

I really hope you're right.

Obama once said to Rev Jeremiah Wright: "The difference between you and me is....you have to tell the truth". (the Reverend himself was kind enough to supply that quote)

Obama has a history of lying, if you are willing to put your trust in the hands of a confirmed liar then maybe I can sell you the Brooklyn Bridge.

Keep something in mind, the democrat party changed back in the late 70s, under Jimmy Carter....the last real democrat was JFK. I heard a speech by JFK, about the economy and taxes, and I swear I though I was listening to Ronald Reagan.

Democrats today are actually Progressive Socialists, which happens to be 1 step short of a Marxist...and only 2 steps short of being a Communist.

People need to realize that we are at the breaking point where the constitution is likely to be considered an 'outdated document'....we have at least 3 Supreme Court justices (and a president) that have openly said that already. PUT NOTHING PAST OUR CURRENT LEADERS...ESPECIALLY IF THEY CALL THEMSELVES A DEMOCRAT.

I'm not so sure of that statement. It has been reported that when this treaty is signed or not, that we must follow international law as a signer of the Geneva Convention. All the UN has to do is to get something like 60% of the countrys to sign on and we have to follow it.

[Herd Sniper]

The UN keeps drafting all sorts of goofy resolutions that are pretty much designed to cripple American/capitalist exports of different kinds or call us bad names. Why we let that bunch of yahoos stay inside of our country is beyond me. This resolution is aimed at us and firearms exports this time. When you look very carefully, the UN gun sanction doesn't really have that much effect on socialist countries as much as it does countries like ours which are capitalist based. It's an Obama dream plan present by International socialists for an American socialist president to drool over and wish to implement.

Absolutely untrue.

[Mississippi54]

If they cared about the constitution we wouldn't be where we are today.

Sorry but I read that also. They figured it is a way to get around having to vote on it. The Senate approved the method in a previous UN treaty they ratified. Also reported was in the "fine print" inside this treaty was a requirement to "prove where personal weapons were located" IE registration of all firearms. It will be interesting to see how it plays out.

[Halogen]

I worry that the UN treaty if it initially doesn't affect us, will lay the groundwork for further regulation down the pipe.

I am not going to wait to see if I am wrong. Time to stock up.

[Rifleman55]

They may try to stop the US from importing the cheap com block ammo.
They cannot stop the world leaders from selling guns and ammo to third world countries. It is like trying to stop the cartels from selling drugs. It isn't going to happen.

It wont. The constitution supersedes any and all treaties, the supreme court has ruled this.

The UN ATT will have no affect on the USA, anyone sayin it will is speaking purely out of fear and paranoia.

Also do ya'll do realise if they ever push a new AWB(which they wont) there will be no grandfatherin of weapons so stocking up out of fear is foolish.

I really hope that you're right. However, the 'Obama doesn't care about one' is incorrect. Obama's entire political history has had hostility towards the 2nd Amendment as a constant. The fact that he ISN'T discussing it on camera doesn't mean a damn thing. He isn't talking about Benghazi either, and it's pretty clear there's a cover-up there.

[BoycottTheDay]

Isnt on camera, never takes any questions from reporters even though they kiss his ass.

Yet these drones seem to think they know exactly whats going on in his mind, right.

Ronald Reagan did not come up with trickle down economics. Kennedy spoke of it first.

Stocking up is fine. Stocki up for an AWB that will no allow any grandfathering is foolish, cause if it happened(and it wont) your guns will then be illegal.

The UN ATT is not targetin our 2A and even if it was our constitution supersedes it. The most that could happen is we can no longer import foreign AK's which guess what...we already can't.

An AWB also will not happen for the reasons I mentioned in my first post. Republicans have the house, the senate is practically deadlocked and there are so may gun stores/manuf's today that to pass an AWB would forces those companies out of business thus passing it would be career suicide for anyone wanting another shot at the senate/house.

Combine that with the fact that gun owner ship is a an all time high and the amount of people wanting gun control is at an all time low means it wont happen.

Even if they tried it would never get past the house.
