http://www.un.org/disarmament/ATT/docs/ATT_text_(As_adopted_by_the_GA)-E.pdf
The treaty leaves every State Party free to define the Small Arms it applies to as it sees fit, and control them as it sees fit. The only people who can decide our current rules for serial numbers, 4473s, export limitations, etc. are not adequate, is our own legislature. The only issue I see that might affect US gunowners is with imports, as a State Party may decide the US system does not establish adequate end use assurance, and illicit re-export may occur. That's a bit of a stretch, as the US has plenty of laws preventing this. The whole idea that sovereignty is given to a foreign power is patently absurd. Should the Conference of States Parties this establishes push policies the US Congress disagrees with ( and for some reason the US delegation at the time joins consensus on, as such things have to by unanimous), the US or any other State Party can always withdraw. Oh, and what vote was this? The one from months ago? |

I don't know if the vote was from months ago or weeks ago. With that being said, its just important now as it was months ago and weeks ago.

View Quote It wasn't important then, it isn't important now. If you are concerned about the ATT, the actual ratification vote is the one you need to pay attention to. That vote was done before the treaty text was even agreed to. It was a political stunt meant to pander to the types who would never read it, and who have kept Larry Pratt employed all these years, nothing more. |

No R's on that list.
But obama was a better vote than romney I was told. Makes one wonder. |

The vote was for an amendment to the budget back in March.

Luckily, treaties with any nation do not override the US Constitution. View Quote Given, you have to have an administrative and judicial branch that recognizes the Constitution as binding....... The frailty of this concept seems lost on many here with their heads firmly ensconced....... I mean, it's completely ludicrous that this administration would thumb it's nose at constitutional limits placed on the government, right? Those wacky arfcommers, nuts, I tell ya. |

I agree with Liberals on certain issues where they stand for liberty and freedom, typically issues where Republicans advocate statism. Gay marriage and legalizing drugs are among them.

Not a single Republican. But arfcom libs say the two parties are the same! Congratulations, you're slightly less statist than the full blown socialists in the Democrat party on some issues. Now we'll just ignore the fact the Reps created the Patriot Act, DHS, and TSA. I don't think any libertarians actually believe that the Reps are the Same as the Dems. Libertarians tend to vote Republican almost elusively except in the rare circumstance that a libertarians is actually on a ballot. But I do believe they are not nearly different enough. There does seem to be a number of dim Republicans who can't distinguish between a Libertarian and a Liberal despite the fact that Liberals always advocate state solutions to all of societys ills while Libertarians see the state as the last worst solution in almost every instance. The biggest difference between the Dems and Reps, is that Republicans tend to be highly nationalist while still being all too statist, while Dems tend to be internationalist, apparently possessing too much statism for just one state! So yes, I prefer nationalist statism over internationalism. But I'd rather no statism at all. Now, if there is some prize for excessive usage of he word "state" you can PM me for my address. Because most "libertarians" have an identical social agenda as the lets close all our foreign bases, scrap all our force projection capabilities, and gut the defense budget by 80%, because nothing bad could possibly happen"), and anti war (cut, and run) stance of the left as well. Basically they are just liberals who happen to be pro gun, and know basic elementary school math..

Quoted:
Creating additional parties will only force us to become like Europe where coalitions have to be formed in order to accomplish anything. You will not get more conservatism by adding a third party. You will not clearly eliminate the Republican party by forming a new one. Face it, this nation is filled with idiots and you can form all the parties you want it's not going to make you the majority. When Governor Christie is the "hottest politician" in national polls and Hillary Clinton is second you've got a fundamental problem that an additional party isn't going to fix. Create a third party and you'll just strip out the religious/social conservatives and hawks from the party as you go form some libertarian party that will just be painted like the Republicans as unkind and uncaring. View Quote You'll also end up with a party winning by only getting a little over 1/3 or less of the vote. No fucking thanks! |

Over the weekend, we came four votes away from the US Senate giving our Constitutional rights over to the United Nations. In a 53-46 vote, the senate narrowly passed a measure that will stop the United States from entering into the United Nations Arms Trade Treaty. The Statement of Purpose from the Bill reads: "To uphold Second Amendment rights and prevent the United States from entering into the United Nations Arms Trade Treaty." The U.N. Small Arms Treaty, which has been championed by the Obama Administration, would have effectively placed a global ban on the import and export of small firearms. The ban would have affected all private gun owners in the U.S., and had language that would have implemented an international gun registry on all private guns and ammo. Astonishingly, 46 out of our 100 United States Senators were willing to give away our Constitutional rights to a foreign power. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted:

... Not too concerned about this specific treaty, actually. From what I understand, it has no real impact on us as citizens. It's an arms trafficking treaty, dealing mostly with larger-scale things like tanks and missiles. Except as written it would also ban all guns, parts, and ammo as well, basically we would be stuck with domestic made stuff only. No more Glock, Sig, Springfield Armory, Taurus, HK, etc., and no more C&R, parts, kits, surplus ammo, Wolf, S&B, PRVI, Lapua, etc. Say hello to 20 round boxes at $2.00-$3.00 per round minimum domestic ammo. The only stuff that MIGHT get through would be the most politically correct euro-trash aproved garbage imaginable. Think single shot .22 short rifles with no extractors, manual cocking, 48 inch barrels, and fixed sites. Could you point out those specific sections in the treaty to me? I ask because I've actually read it, and I don't remember seeing anything in the treaty that would restrict the current importation of firearms. lol I am incredibly unsurprised that nobody responded to my question about what the treaty ACTUALLY SAYS |
