After Obama win, U.S. backs new U.N. arms treaty talks

That doesn't say anything about any new registration regulations. More than that, the UN legally can't compel the US to increase regulation of any kind within the borders of America.

Furthermore, the final draft of the treaty isn't even final, let alone agreed upon.

Yep.  And now that he doesn't have to worry about reelection I can't wait to see what it will say.

Well then wait until then before you start freaking out about it. As it sits now, it doesn't infringe upon our 2A rights.

Or we could just wait until it becomes law and then see what's in it.

The threat is real, make no mistake about it!

Obama Administration Endorses New U.N. Arms Trade Treaty Negotiations

From the Reuters article;

The United States has denied it sought to delay negotiations for political reasons, saying it had genuine problems with the draft as written.

For some strange reason I find this hard to believe.

thanks all you ding dongs for four more years of obama care. this un treaty is just the start. dont kid your self him and his buddy hillary will be sure to try and slip more things under the rug. dont blame me i voted for the other guy

No matter what Obama and Hillary do, the treaty would still have to be ratified by Congress.  An international treaty cannot supercede the Constitution.  Any changes to it have to be via amendment.

There is a way around this for the president.  He doesnt bring it to a vote and keeps it in effect until he leaves office!!

the liberal/progressive agenda is REALLY good at accomplishing things in baby steps... I happended in this state in our recent election.  A few years ago the "Everything but marriage" partnerships were sold to us as a necessary thing because so many citizens were being denied their rights... It passed... This year we now have Gay Marrage... We were originally told that said group would be satisfied with their "rights" clarified and that a title was only that, and not important...

Its too bad that the Right cannot seem to accept incremental change...

There is a proverb that fits this issue perfectly.... How do you eat an Elephant? Once bite at a time...

The UN small arms treaty does not effect US gun ownership in any meaningful way.

If this is true, why did Hillary pull our support for it before the election and then, re-affirm our support after the election? If what you say it true to the letter, the Arms Treaty could've been explained away as soon as it came up in a debate.

People will believe what they choose but we all know whats up.  We must resist any infringement on our rights no matter what framework it may exist in.  Baby steps have been stealing away our rights for the last 75 years.  10 baby steps equal 3 giant steps for mankind!
