Geee Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 Town Hall: Not shockingly, immediately after President Obama was reelected for a second term, his administration reinforced its support for the U.N. Arms Trade Treaty [ATT], also known as the "Small Arms Treaty." Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has been expressing full support of the treaty on behalf of the United States for years now while for political reasons, President Obama sat back. Now, the entire administration will be out front in support of ratifying it. Hours after U.S. President Barack Obama was re-elected, the United States backed a U.N. committee's call on Wednesday to renew debate over a draft international treaty to regulate the $70 billion global conventional arms trade. U.N. delegates and gun control activists have complained that talks collapsed in July largely because Obama feared attacks from Republican rival Mitt Romney if his administration was seen as supporting the pact, a charge Washington denies.

SrWoodchuck Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 @NCTexan @SrWoodchuck An end around on the 2nd amendment This is the way they will try to shake this out: They sign the treaty & it is ratified by the Senate. Treaties are not like legislation. The Senate has the power to enact any treaty & it becomes the law of the land until it is challenged in the courts. They only need to stack Supremes & then.......try to collect the guns. I don't think they count on getting the guns, bullets first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
