Well I'm surprised no one said we are wearing tinfoil helmets. It ain't a conspiracy theory anymore , is it. For those of you who thought it was, boy were you wrong.

It has come to the point we're you can really trust NO ONE in a government position.

The Senate still has to approve it for it to take effect within the US Borders which is unlikely.

Fun.

I don't see this having any effect on me. Or any other American.

However, i did find one thing interesting. The entire point of this legislation is to keep arms out of the hands of the small-time bad guys who go around killing villages and such. My thought(very American of me) is "How are the villagers going to get guns now?" Sure, the "bad guys" will have to work a little harder, but the "good guys"/victems won't have any defensive guns at all! This will probably lead to even more genocides! But i guess the government of the country that sold the guns will pay a fine and all will be forgiven and forgotten. And there will still be millions killed.

Except that it is. The US isn't a signatory, and won't be since 2/3 of the Senate won't approve it, so it doesn't affect us. We aren't a rogue nation/terrorist state, so it doesn't affect anyone shipping to us. It doesn't give the UN any authority over the citizens of any nation, nor does it create new laws inside of any nation, so it doesn't affect any gun owner here in the slightest.

Feel free to actually read the treaty and see what it says.

This is just to set up precedent. They aren't coming for our guns NOW, but they are coming.

This. They're shady and misleading but piece by piece our 2A rights are going to be chipped away.

That's how it reads but I don't see it being used in such a strict way.

Just seems like a way to cut off imports to the US by sanctioning countries who may export to us.


For that matter, if the ATT wasn't targeting gun owners, why is their statue a colt python? I wasn't aware it was ever a notable military service weapon?

I'm sure it will be "SHOT " down by the Senate ........ God help us all, please deliver us from tyranny.

A majority of Senators already voted "no" in a symbolic vote earlier. The Senate never *has* to vote on it, and it dies that way. No way are 2/3 of the Senate going to approve it when 54 Senators already said "no".

 

[Dave274]

They will never give up trying. Neither should we.

 

[KDW77]

If they come here they will get way more then they want. We need out of the UN !
