Gun expert: Effort could stamp out 2nd Amendment rights in U.S.

World Net Daily

Prospects look fairly bleak for sweeping gun-control legislation in Congress, but action at the United Nations and in several states may end up having the same effect – possibly even opening the door for Obama to ban all handguns, according to one expert.

On Tuesday, the United Nations General Assembly voted overwhelmingly to approve the Arms Trade Treaty, or ATT. Supporters, including the Obama administration, contend this is designed to crack down on illicit arms trafficking, but critics say it’s really an effort to stamp out gun rights in the U.S. and beyond.

“It’s far beyond what it’s purported to do. It requires this country keep a national gun registry of gun owners. In addition, it could be used as a justification for banning semi-autos and banning handguns without any further legislation,” said Mike Hammond, chief counsel at Gun Owners of America.

“It could be interpreted as self-implementing, and by an executive order Obama would simply ban all handguns using this treaty.”

Hammond told WND the ATT could also lead to microstamping, which would require tiny signatures to be on every cartridge fired and would be very expensive. He said the treaty will die in the U.S. Senate. Sixty-seven votes are needed to ratify any treaty and in recent weeks, 53 senators indicated their opposition to the ATT. But Hammond said that may not deter Obama.

  • aint going to happen….

  • no he can’t,,,,,,,,,,just try it you useless muslim commie punk,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

  • Obama cannot unilaterally ratify or enforce a UN law. All treaties the USA enters into must be ratified by the US Congress, both houses and then be signed by the President just like any other Federal law. Should he act in this manner, he would be violating the US Constitution and rule of law. Even he’s not that ignorant. Also, I might add that this UN treaty does not really involve internal weapons sales at all. The treaty is directed at preventing cross border transactions to prevent proliferation of weapons into 3rd world locations…such as what’s happening in Syria right now.

  • Yes he can he did say that,you did vote for him he got now your aproval that empowers him to do as he pleases,the people are not questioned if they want that or not we gave him the authority to do that so wait and see as he does so

  • And he eventually will and anyone that does not comply will be executed.

    America is now a cross between a Corporate Dictatorship and a Police State.

    Romney/Obama – The boys at Bohemian Grove done decided who would be placed in the Oval Office as their PR puppet.

    As each year passes America is coming under the jurisdiction of the UN.

    The New World Order is being ushered in as promised by several of our past presidents.

    It’s going global and your vote no longer counts.

    Because people do not see that they have given theyr powers to governments in the same time theyr freedom,this is gonna happen.But that can be prevented in the same way as power is given by the people to the governments so it can be taken away its just so easy ,and that would mean the end of all problemes that humanity is facing today,war,poverty,agression,coruption and i dont continue because the list is too long.
    Sad thing is that no one has the guts to stand up and take that powers away,instead of that every one is sitting on theyr asses and wonder why is this and that happening,well until no one stads up to this gloryous task to free humanity from its chains forged by theyr own government every one is gonna be a slave,but the greater matter is that this not just touches us but the following generations as well.And so the future generations our own children are gonna curse us to the bones because we did simply nothing just stood by and watch how our POWERS=(Freedom of speach,The abillity to have an voice,wealth,freedom,peace,wellbeing,and even our lives and etc)Were taken away from tyrants,murderes,thieves,and mind controling Evil few people.

  • Lets see him “simply” confiscate them!!

  • Passing a “law” and enforcing it are two different things… It will never happen… IF he tries that, it will be his undoing.
