Kerry says US will sign UN treaty on arms regulation despite lawmaker opposition
Secretary of State John Kerry said Monday that the Obama administration would sign a controversial U.N. treaty on arms regulation, despite bipartisan resistance in Congress from members concerned it could lead to new gun control measures in the U.S.
Kerry, releasing a written statement as the U.N. treaty opened for signature Monday, said the U.S. "welcomes" the next phase for the treaty, which the U.N. General Assembly approved on April 2.
"We look forward to signing it as soon as the process of conforming the official translations is completed satisfactorily," he said. Kerry called the treaty "an important contribution to efforts to stem the illicit trade in conventional weapons, which fuels conflict, empowers violent extremists, and contributes to violations of human rights."

I wonder if "Fast and Furious" type operations would be covered?
Probably not, Obama would invoke "executive privilege".

Anybody that has served our country in the armed forces and has put their lives in harms way to protect citizens of the USA to be free and able to live without goverment control should be mad as he11. Anybody that has paid taxes and lived as law abidding as citizens should be mad as he11 at this administration and its attemps to walk on peoples rights and take away people rights. These thugs from chicago and their political machine need to be shut down look at what they have done to their own city and what a mess its in, now they want to bring the same crap to America. Stand up people vote to stop obabbler and his hoard of law breaking idiots before its to late. Obabbler has passed a HC bill that nobody can explain how it works or how it will be truely funded, how many more Americans will die before someone calls this inept clueless administration to tell the truth.
