All UN small arms/reloading treaty threads

It would be politcal suicide for anyone in the senate to vote in favor of ratifying such a treaty.

Not saying it's impossible, but very unlikely.

This may be the first thing you have posted I actually agree with.

You must not read my posts a lot. The only thing I ever disagree with on here is middle eastern foreign policy.

If they actually try to confiscate guns from citizens, and the confiscators start getting two in the chest and one in the head, I think they'll get the message.

Until then, I have a feeling they just assume everyone will comply.

Are you trying pointing out that this arms trade treaty only deals with major arms like nuclear missiles and tanks?

"The United Nations, which is pursuing a proposal for "a world without nuclear weapons", will soon turn its attention to another new goal in the field of disarmament: creating a legally-binding treaty on conventional arms.

The proposed new treaty, which is expected to be ready for a U.N. Conference on the Arms Trade Treaty in 2012, will regulate the global trade in conventional arms, including fighter planes, combat helicopters, unmanned aerial vehicles, warships, missiles, battle tanks and armoured personnel carriers."

There's a big difference between nukes and everything else. This would basically regulate our entire military. Then it's not hard to imagine them moving right along to small arms.
Pretty soon we'll all be eating with plastic sporks.

I think he's just adding another viewpoint... one that's a little less biased.

It was also interesting to read about the treaty itself, not about what someone is worried it could lead to.

I found it interesting that the treaty involves all things that apply to conventional warfare, and not just handguns and rifles.

"In less than a year, Goldring pointed out, the U.S. government has gone from being one of the chief opponents of the proposed treaty to being a strong supporter...."


WOULD ANYONE CARE TO TAKE A GUESS WHY???

Is this the treaty that you're referring to? If so, then it is my understanding that it addresses the regulation of arms exports and imports and does not attack American sovereignty by stripping Americans of the right to keep and bear arms.

It'll be another restriction on what arms are available though.

Its a foot in the door for UN treaties to take precedence over the Constitution.

I read somewhere that if there is a state of emergency is declared during the time of a presidential election then the current president will stay in power. 2012 is the time of an election right? If he creates a state of emergency for the country by signing a treaty and calling in the blue helmets to attempt to strip us of our guns then he can play dictator. Damn I need to buy more ammo and more range time practicing shooting at blue targets.

You can bet they will come in groups and you will have 10 to the chest before you get a second shot off.

Neat video. It in no way has any correlation to my statement. Also, England does not have our constitution, which protects our right to bare arms and protects us from ridiculous U.N. treaties.
