Arms Trade Treaty

In the months following the election or un-election of Obama, we are certain to see an effort to pass the Arms Trade Treaty. The Administration has already attempted to implement the treaty by the FAST and FURIOUS scam to blame gun shops for the government's plan to ship small arms over international borders to arm Drug Cartels!

  1. The President and Attorney General appear to violate a number of international and US laws through their actions in Fast and Furious - but the senate and public does not seem to care;
  2. The President and Attorney General appear to violate a number of domestic laws and exceed Constitutional power by misuse of Executive Orders and Executive Privilege;
  3. The President and Attorney General appear to violate numerous Equal Protection and Due Process by blocking Congressional investigation powers, allowing friendly companies and individuals to be exempted from some laws and regulations while selectively enforcing laws and regulations against political opponents.
The Treaty appears to require signature nations to register firearm purchases and sales to the UN; requires registration; limits manufacturers, controls ammunition. Already, the Obama Administration has designed a program for  non-dealers who own or reload firearms to register with the Attorney General - bypassing the ATF!

Presidents, including Bush, have insisted treaties negate the Constitution. Unless we stop this treaty, there will be a significant test of the Treaty Powers of Article 2, Section 2 - and the Supreme Court that brought us Obamacare will make new law once again.

  1. Some believe the Constitution is old, obsolete, and out of date - it should be replaced. Any thoughts?
