Guys, as much as I dislike Obama's policies, this is old news, and has a slim chance of being ratified during this term. The Dems know it is a vote killer for them, and the vote is actually being blocked by Harry Reid. Also, a lot of the stuff that is claimed this will do, is blatantly false. All the wild hysteria and fact stretching by the far right marginalizes the position. Her is the NRA's assessment:
Thursday, April 16, 2009
The NRA is well aware of the proposed Organization of American States treaty on firearms trafficking, known by its Spanish initials as CIFTA. The NRA monitored the development of this treaty from its earliest days, but contrary to news reports today, the NRA did not "participate" at the meeting where the treaty was approved.
The treaty does include language suggesting that it is not intended to restrict "lawful ownership and use" of firearms . Despite those words, the NRA knows that anti-gun advocates will still try to use this treaty to attack gun ownership in the U.S. Therefore, the NRA will continue to vigorously oppose any international effort to restrict the constitutional rights of law-abiding American gun owners.
