UN Arms Trade Treaty: Canada Refuses To Join 90 Nations In Signing

 

[taz-2005]

It's bizarro world when the Canadians are more concerned about the impact on gun owners than the US.

Foreign Affairs Minister John Baird has said there is a potential link between signing on to the treaty and Canada's now-abolished long gun registry. His office has said the government is still trying to determine whether the treaty would affect lawful recreational firearms owners in Canada.

Tell me about it, I have a friend up there and man...you think we have to jump through hoops?

How does this not affect gun rights?
It prohibits the transfer of conventional weapons if they violate arms embargoes or if they promote acts of genocide, crimes against humanity or war crimes, and if they could be used in attacks on civilians or civilian buildings such as schools and hospitals.

Interesting tid-bit from the article:

The Administration has also implied that it can implement the ATT through its existing authorities and without new appropriations.

suck it Kerry!!

Obama and Kerry knew that this treaty had no chance to pass the Senate as is required for it to become law here in the US. Its all freaking politics... ObaKerry are just playing to their base... now they can say 'See, we signed the Arms Treaty but the evil Republicans blocked it'.

The problem is, as I understand it, is as long as it is signed, it could be voted in at some future date. That's provided the UN or this country still exists.

Good point, not sure how that works... The Repubs will need to keep at least 40 seats in the Senate indefinitely I guess.

Pfft, the administration won't let a pesky thing like the law get in the way of its agenda.

Interesting tid-bit from some document from a long damned time ago:

...Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.

Very surprised to see this "Joe Manchin (D–WV)"

 

[Wrench75]

No but seriously... **** Canada. With the exception of producing some really good pot, that place is completely useless. The whole country can FOAD as far as I'm concerned.

I don't care who signs what, it shall never mean I will be disarmed while I am drawing breath. No man grants my natural rights, no man can take them away.

it's now quite obvious, Canada plans on invading us.
