However on April 16, 2009, President Obama stated that he will not push for the reinstatement of the Assault Weapons Ban in the United States even though he still believes that it "made sense." Obama has proposed instead to ratify an inter-American treaty known as CIFTA (Inter-American Convention Against the Illicit Manufacturing of and Trafficking in Firearms, Ammunition, Explosives, and Other Related Materials.) to curb international small arms trafficking. The treaty makes the unauthorized manufacture and exporting of firearms illegal and calls for nations in this hemisphere to establish a process for information-sharing among different countries' law enforcement divisions to stop the smuggling of arms, to adopt strict licensing requirements, and to make firearms easier to trace.[19]

What is also so absurd about this idea is that the United States has veto power in the Security Council. Which means simply, we cannot be bullied or threatened by the UN in any way shape or form. The UN cannot impose any sanctions on the United States. Our charter membership and permanent place in the UN Security Council means that we will never have to be threatened by the UN.
The UN is not coming for your guns. This is fear mongering to the dumbest level imaginable. Anyone who believes this garbage has seriously lost a lot of credibility in my book.
The simple facts are:
We have a constitutional right to keep and bear arms. This is protected under the 2nd Amendment of the United States Constitution.
Gun sales are booming in the United States.

So Obama isn't going to take your guns away.
Many states now have concealed carry laws. legalizing concealed firearms.
Threads like this only are made to promote FEAR. The OPs of these threads only do so to scare you. But that is their intent. To scare you. Which does what? Makes you want to go out and stock up on firearms.
The UN will not ever be able to force you to give up your guns. It's just not going to happen. Obama is not going to take away your guns. It's just not going to happen. So please, calm down, unload the shotgun. No one is coming for your guns.
All the 'I would pay them in lead' posts are an outlet of the second stage of death; denial, anger, negotiation, acceptance. The death of Liberty.
They can have my gun(s) after they pry them from my cold dead hands!
A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the People to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.
