When did the feds get control of state rights?

Around 1865.

Straight from the UN think tank....

But in spite of its desperate efforts to rebut Second Amendment concerns, the U.N. can’t stop stepping on its own shoelaces. After proclaiming that the ATT “does not aim to impede or interfere with the lawful ownership and use of weapons,” the CASA paper goes on to say that “United Nations agencies have come across many situations in which various types of conventional weapons have been…misused by lawful owners” and that the “arms trade must therefore be regulated in ways that would…minimize the risk of misuse of legally owned weapons.”

If you can't read between the lines there........

I learned a long time ago that "reading between the lines" is never a cut and dry exercise, always tinted with shades of that invisible gray in which it is written.

The UN Arms Treaty is a threat to our rights, as the UN in general is. We should withdraw from the UN and boot it's corrupt butt off of our soil. Anything coming out if it is at best, suspect.

There are multiple reasons the Arms Treaty is a threat to to our rights.

Here are a few:

1. We should not acknowledge the UN's right to even comment on our gun policies, trade policies or any other policy, let alone have a say in them. This fact alone should be clear to any liberty minded person.

2. SIG's, HK's etc in the US do not need their numbers available and price artificially controlled by UN flunkies.

3. The Treaty authorizes the UN to track all guns sales, purchases etc.

4. The treaty would put the UN smack in the middle of the guns to Mexico farce being perpetuated by Libs to justify more stringent gun control. Yeah, let's put the UN in charge of generating the numbers of illicit arms in play everywhere, they will be a fair and non-agenda driven proposition.

5. I could go on, but there is a wealth of information written by better versed people available on Google.

It amazes me anyone could think the UN Arms Treaty is a neutral document or that we want any part of their tentacles in our business.

Regarding #1...A global economy is 100% dependent on international trade policies and international organizations which govern actions of member states. That goes back to our founders and their inclusion in such binding agreements as the various Treaties of Amity and Commerce or the Treaty of Tripoli or the trade associations of the pacific.

Regarding #2...UN doesn't set prices.

#3...ALL??? While the negotiations for the Treaty haven't even begun, the working documents only suggest that any tracking would be for INTERNATIONAL sales...as clearly stated. That would mean that ZERO tracking would occur on US sales from US shops to US buyers. You might want to check out SNOPES.

#4...What better place for an international organization to insert itself than in an investigation of international criminal enterprise that crosses international borders.

#5...Google...a good tool but doesn't separate that which is factual from that which is just a collection of words placed together.
