Clinton signs the ban and starts the second revolution, Obama declares Martial Law and becomes appointed Pro-term President. Wonderful news for the morning :-(
if the international trade ban goes into effect their would be a glut of firearms on the market that the producers wouldn't be able to ship abroad. This would lead to LOWER prices in the short run as they would have more guns than needed for the American market. The producers would want to move their product so they wouldn't have to shut down or stint production at their factories. This would be cool for about 6 months, that is, until everyone buys what they can because they know it wont be around in the future. This is one of those situations where causality and economics don't really meet. "On Thursday, a bipartisan group of 51 US senators threatened to oppose any agreement that infringed on the constitutional right to bear arms." -BBC Gotta like that!
SAF reports this morning that the US has declined to sign the agreement. Apparently pressure on congresscritters worked.
Another 'bullet dodged'...... for now. The Libtards will keep trying. Vote for truth, honesty and the American Way this November.
Got this in Brownells monthly newsletter (Interesting point about the Senate ratification of this UN ATT. I read from a reliable source that treaties submitted to the U.S. Senate require approval of two-thirds of Senators present to be ratified. Wonder what happens if it's brought to the floor at 0200 hours when most against it are absent and the few there are for ratification and two-thirds of them vote in favor of it.)
http://abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory/states-fail-reach-global-arms-trade-treaty-16874637 And heeeeeeere you go!! It is a GREAT day to be armed!!
What a joke...no one else would ever comply with a treaty like this. This is plainly aimed at disarming the U.S.
My favorite part is : "Global rules govern the sale of everything from bananas to endangered species to weapons of mass destruction, but not guns or grenades," Clegg said. "This anomaly causes untold suffering in conflicts around the world. 1,000 people are killed daily by small arms wielded by terrorists, insurgents and criminal gangs." They left out probably the largest perp. The nation states that kill their own citizens and those that are at war. WTF?
I guess those 1000 should have done one of two things, get themselves a gun (readily available everywhere) or faster sneakers!
