http://minutemennews.com/2013/09/kerry-sign-un-arms-treaty-despite-opposition/" A State official said the treaty would “reduce the risk that international transfers of conventional arms will be used to carry out the world’s worst crimes,” while protecting gun rights."

.......but what stops the US government from international transfers of conventional arms to be used against American citizens?

"Despite Opposition"

Doesn't that describe the signing of any Bill or any Treaty ever?

Do you want to have an ideagasm?

Yep, but not like this one. We gun nuts believe there is no chance it would be signed, and it would be political suicide for any politician to sign it. So we wait and see.

No way it makes it through THIS Senate. The problem with this bill is two fold:

1. It does not go away till it is "unsigned". So it can be voted on at any time.

2. It can be used to allow more executive branch decisions to support it... Even if it is not voted on, the Executive branch can use it as a reason from more restrictions.
