Well, it IS happening. Right now it's happening. And obama and billary have been very diligently pursuing this matter "under the radar". WIth nary a whimper from the unsuspecting gun owners. They're under false security where our Constitution is involved on this issue.
Scary stuff... Please read it and pass it on to anyone who still cares.
Researchers say don’t count on Constitution to stop Arms Trade Treaty
Written By David Codrea, Gun Rights Examiner
MANASQUAN, N.J.— “There is a widespread misunderstanding on the part of American gun-owners, evidenced in gun blogs and in commentaries on articles dealing with the Arms Trade Treaty (ATT),” researchers Paul Gallant, Sherry Gallant, Alan Chwick and Joanne D. Eisen report in an AmmoLand paper filed yesterday.
“The crux of this misunderstanding,” they write, “is that, since there are checks and balances in our Constitution, and since the Constitution clearly states that ratification of a treaty can only occur ‘provided two thirds of the Senators present concur,’ this is almost impossible to come about.”
Not necessarily, the researchers argue, citing “carefully documented proof that ratification of an international treaty can occur —and can be made binding to U.S. citizens— without any Senate action at all!”
Referencing the Journal on Firearms & Public Policy, the Gallants, Chwick and Eisen recount “three specific mechanisms” where an end-run around the Constitution could result in an ATT influence: under signature of the president "with or without ratification by the Senate," if it becomes “customary under international law” and the U.S. abides by it, and “through nonconsensual customary law.”

This is hardly under the radar and many of us have been in contact with our reps to voice our views. This may be the straw that broke the camel's back for Obummer. That he swore to uphold the Constitution and would even think of signing this is close to treason. Hillary has been pushing so hard for this you have to wonder about her incentives. It's just incredible.
Thanks TWG2A.........By the way, nice kitties.

It's not under the radar for *some* of us, but far too many are still under the impression this can't happen here. You and I and a few others, pianoman, are only a few of those who understand this, when you look at the big picture. I've been screaming about it for a few years now, and *most* 2A advocates are still uder the impression it "can't happen here". Please help pass the word and share this on other forums.

And by the way TW, it's the Constitution that will help us in this battle. When the President doesn't defend it and gets in bed with the UN on that treaty, there will be hell to pay.
Billary already secured their seats at that particular table. (the UN.) That's why they've worked so hard to destroy our Constitution and Bill of Rights, along with many other dirty politicians. Obama is just "the closer".
Indeed, all HELL will break loose WHEN they attempt this little coup. We're waiting.
