UN arms treaty threatens US Second Amendment and sovereignty

Well, the UN general assembly managed to pass an international arms treaty yesterday. And predictably, Obama is chomping at the bit to sign on to any international law that might supersede America's sovereignty. But no matter how much Obama, Lurch and others hail it's passage, it remains unlikely, and thankfully so, that the Senate would ratify it.

FoxNews: Republican senators — joined by at least one Democrat — ripped the international arms trade treaty approved Tuesday by the U.N. General Assembly, calling it a “non-starter” and vowing to oppose Senate ratification.

The treaty approved Tuesday was the first of its kind. The resolution was approved at the U.N. by a vote of 154 to 3 with 23 abstentions.

But in the U.S. Senate, which must ratify the treaty in order for the United States to be a party to it, opposition is much stronger.

The Senate already voted for an amendment last month to prevent the U.S. from entering into the treaty. The sentiment among conservative and moderate senators concerned the treaty represents an infringement of Second Amendment rights had not changed in light of Tuesday’s U.N. vote.

Sen. Ted Cruz discussed the objections to this overreaching treaty on the Ben Ferguson Show:
