Kerry says US will sign UN treaty on arms regulation despite lawmaker opposition

Quote
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."

Obama knows that the senate will reject this, even Rats won't vote for it.
Why is he doing this? Is there something I'm not seeing here?

This commie UN ass kissing Muslim in the W.H. does not care what the Senate or anyone else thinks. I see 3 1/2 more years of this Nazi style behavior. God help us.

IMO it's just another thing he'll use as an excuse as to why he's signing an EO suspending the 2nd Amendment.

He'll say that since Congress won't act...as witnessed by the fact they won't even sign a "bipartisan" gun registration law...the individual states aren't acting fast enough...and the American people want more "responsible" sun laws...he's doing this in the interest of safety.

Plus he'll toss in some lame excuse about the bullying tactics of the NRA.

I think you may be onto something, Tx.
