These people are smart and they will come to your neighborhoods ,with a list of guns they know you have , march you outside and hunt all for guns & ammo with metal detectors and dogs that can even smell gun oil . An example of this is on Youtube .Resistance will be put down brutally and televised for effect . Your neighbors might be punished with you and as an incentive to tell on you or persuade you to comply .
Ammo can be cut off the guns will die .

Nothing has stopped them so far from achieving their ways. Trust me, with a few 'creations of news' that show "just how much guns are a problem, and not necessary for a protected people, because we have the the police and National Guard"....they will convince the majority of people to comply like the fools they are, or at least enough of them to keep the problem to a minimum of confiscating the other ones.
If they can't do that, they will make sure it is very difficult to get new ones, by controlling the sale and manufacture of them, and confiscating them house by house by surprise in accordance with some new law.
Just don't turn off the televisions and radios and music!! People would be IN...THE...STREETS if they were to do that.
Goodbye America! It's only a matter of time before you are all as f'ed as other countries that limit or ban guns. These guys will use every tool they can and won't stop until it's done. They haven't come this far to let a bunch of addicted, overly entertained, indoctrinated, mindless Americans who get most excited over football or TV...get in their way of world domination.
What is sad is that I don't even have to exaggerate at all to say what I just said. It's just the truth. They act like cattle and get treated just the same.
Imagine a world filled with mostly ATS members, ready to protest and scare the hell out of these punks on the street tomorrow. They would piss their pants and know they'd better run the shore, because we're coming to round them up if we have to.

A civil-military operations center or CMOC is a center usually established by a military force for coordinating civil-military operations in an area of operations.[1][2] It usually serves as a meeting place for military and non military entities involved in stabilization, humanitarian relief and reconstruction activities or for interaction between these entities and the civilian population. Often, it also serves as a central location for information on civilian related activities in the area or maintains the status of the infrastructure or institutions. During combat operations, a CMOC is usually in a secure compound.

No bills can do it.
No politic rat will even dare to bring the Constitution into the table for that.
Marg, there are already several U.S. states that either heavily restrict, or completely ban firearms such as New York and Illinois.
There are, and have been laws implemented which restrict firearms in the U.S.
Right now fully automatic weapons are banned except for some cases.

I'm pretty sure that it's "a leopard can't change it's spots...". This treaty is a round about way of circumventing the 2nd amendment, just as Agenda 21 is a round about way of circumventing one's right to property. All Progressives throughout American history have found ways to circumvent the Constitution and natural rights, and Obama is no different. The reality of it is that there is no way that they will be able to enforce it on guns already owned. I think that this will mainly effect new purchases.

add this to an internet blackout and we have the trigger to the American dumbass revolution. A few useful idiots and planted police rioters later and you have the making of the perfect reason for martial law followed by strict legislature many will deem harsh on the American public.
Hell if they work it right they could get racial tensions pretty high. Maybe this could all spill over into a few controlled race motivated riots. Couple cops filmed here and there beating up brown people. A media storm over it. Amidst all this, then you have 2-3 kids killed in a blatant case of police brutality.
Then with all that left to fester into fruition and you can get into weird laws that normally the public would resist hands down. They could argue anything they please and say "oh since race is a crucial issue to our society we need to ____"
Segregate communities, secretly displace populations without alerting people to their mass migration, ect.
They would say things like "No walking on these streets EVER, because there is a conflict zone around them."
So they could take ghettos in every major city and transform them into Civil-military operations centers. Demolish most of the interior buildings of any particular area and make a military base in every major city without much of a blip on the public radar. I would do it that way at least.

He is being set up for a massive negative PR campaign. Then they offer the "hero leader" who will change the very way we look at each other. Say hello to 1939.

Second, there is NOWHERE that fully automatic or ANY type of firearm is illegal...
There are only a tax that must be paid.
When someone is arrested for owning a fully automatic firearm or other class III device it is for failure to pay the transfer or creation tax on it to the BATF...
Don't worry though because there is good reason to believe that that will be struck down too, again, not that it's necessary to truly legally own one...

Well I can tell you that you are scaring people with your title.
It doesn't ban guns in the US.
I think it makes it where all sales have to be documented (even between private sellers - me to you). It may make some guns illegal to bring in from out of country. About that I really don't know.
EIther way, I hope it doesn't pass and if it does can we finally start kicking people out of government?

You haven't read the FOPA of 1986 then. Machine guns made after 1986 are infact BANNED. And have you seen the price of pre-86 machine guns? $15000 for an m16..... $4000 for a mac 10 (which is a sucky gun).
Funny thing is the Hughes amendment to the FOPA (machine gun ban), was illegally passed through congress.
