BREAKING:
Obama Launches Plan for UN Gun Take Over During Last Days Before Election
A constant throughout President
Barack Obama’s tenure in office has been his unwavering commitment to more
restrictive gun control measures, despite significant opposition from Second
Amendment supporters in Congress and in the general population.
One particular avenue Obama has
pursued to attempt to limit the number and type of firearms available to
American citizens is through his support for the United
Nations Arms Trade Treaty, an
international agreement ostensibly focused on stemming illegal sales of
conventional heavy arms to traffickers and warlords but written in a broad and
vague manner to include “small arms” such as rifles, shotguns and handguns.
A major component of the ATT was the
creation of an extensive international
arms registry to be compiled from
smaller arms registries of “end users” set up in the individual nations that
have ratified the treaty.
Though Obama and Secretary of State
John Kerry have signed on to the ATT, they have not submitted it to the Senate
for ratification, likely because a bipartisan group of more than 50 senators
told Obama in no uncertain terms that they would never ratify the treaty or
permit it to be implemented.
Nevertheless Obama has done
virtually everything he can do, short of ratification, to lay the groundwork
for the future implementation of the gun control agreement, needing only a
Democrat-controlled Senate to finalize everything.
According to The Daily Signal,
this was confirmed at an August conference in Geneva regarding the treaty,
where U.S. delegate William Malzahn informed the international community that
the Obama administration was in full compliance with the treaty — short of
ratification, that is.
“The United States remains committed
to the Arms Trade Treaty, which we signed in September 2013. We are still
working on the package to transmit the treaty to the U.S. Senate for its advice
and consent to ratification. It is not clear when we will complete this, but we
are actively working on it,” Malzahn stated.
“As we pursue ratification, let me
assure everyone that the United States is already fully compliant with the
requirements of the (Arms Trade Treaty), as the U.S. national control system
exceeds those requirements,” he added.
There has been growing pressure on
the U.S. from other countries demanding the implementation of stricter gun
control, but that is unlikely to sway the current Congress from its stance.
However, should Democrats regain
control of the Senate in November, there could very well be a small window of
opportunity for Obama to try to ram the ATT through for ratification between
the time the new Congress is sworn in on Jan. 3. and he leaves office on
Jan. 20.
One thing is certain: If Obama fails
to achieve ratification of the ATT but is succeeded by Democrat presidential
nominee Hillary Clinton, ratifying
that treaty would be near the top of her anti-gun agenda. H/T Breitbart

subvert the Second Amendment.
