Kerry signs UN arms treaty

[Flesh Thorn]

The United States signed on to an international arms control treaty Wednesday that seeks to reduce global atrocities, but the road to ratification in the Senate may prove to be extremely bumpy and, possibly, insurmountable.

Secretary of State John Kerry signed the United Nations Arms Trade Treaty (ATT) on the sidelines of this week's gathering of the U.N. General Assembly.

The treaty, which nearly 90 countries have signed, requires signatory countries to ensure arms are not sent to countries where they could be used to commit genocide, crimes against humanity or other serious human rights abuses.

The Senate has to ratify any treaties.

Yes, but these shitbags know that time is on their side. Once a treaty is signed, it never has an expiration date. Sometime in the future there will be a Senate that has a huge majority of democrats and they will ratify this thing. Once that happens the idea of gun ownership as we know it is gone.

Kerry, Kennedy, all the same liberal garbage.
Anything he touches will be destroyed.

I'm ashamed of the politicians my state produces.
