Guns will be banned by hook or by crook

U.S. government spokesperson on UN Arms Treaty, "United States would vote “yes” on the treaty"

What? You mean the Obama administration (meaning Obama himself) has changed the USG's position on the looming United Nations Arms Trade Treaty, and now says it will vote for it? 

Get ready for severe gun-control measures to be imposed on Americans because the language of the treaty specifically includes regulating "small arms and light weapons," a category so broad it could be twisted to include air guns. Whether the Senate confirms the treaty is not relevant, and it's more likely than not that the Democrat-controlled Senate will. 

No matter whether the Senate confirms, this president will simply declare that his administration will enforce its terms and that will be that. I recollect that this is exactly what Bill Clinton did regarding one of the treaties he had signed when he was president, but I can't recollect which one. Anyone know?

Then there is the shibboleth that treaties trump the US Constitution. This is a favorite canard of the Left but it's a total falsehood. The US Supreme Court has ruled explicitly that treaties cannot restrict the Constitutional rights of Americans. 

But again, it will not matter. Obama will do it anyway and will get away with it. The Senate will not oppose and the media will never scrutinize the Constitutionality of what Obama does. The media will in fact vigorously support the cancellation of Americans' Second-Amendment rights. That's simply the state of the union today.

Update: Washington Times -

The long-debated U.N. Arms Trade Treaty (ATT) requires countries to regulate and control the export of weaponry such as battle tanks, combat vehicles and aircraft and attack helicopters, as well as parts and ammunition for such weapons.

Well, thank goodness we got that export deal signed already for sending 20 advanced-model F-16 jet fighters to Islamist Egypt!
