Over 50 senators have already expressed stern opposition to the deal, citing concerns in<a href=\"https:\/\/redirect.viglink.com\/?format=go&amp;jsonp=vglnk_148166693779813&amp;key=e7609c039c08d3ae00aebd97e6f0bffd&amp;libId=iwo1opg7010110e3000DA1o2xvwgwi9qdn&amp;loc=http%3A%2F%2Fdailycaller.com%2F2015%2F03%2F08%2Fnew-lawmakers-inform-president-of-their-opposition-to-the-u-n-arms-trade-treaty%2F&amp;v=1&amp;out=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.moran.senate.gov%2Fpublic%2Findex.cfm%2Ffiles%2Fserve%3FFile_id%3Da8df6595-2ee3-4132-8566-18f5a62e76bf&amp;title=New%20Lawmakers%20Inform%20President%20Of%20Their%20Opposition%20To%20The%20U.N.%20Arms%20Trade%20Treaty%20%7C%20The%20Daily%20Caller&amp;txt=October%2015%2C%202013%20letter\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"obama-sends-signed-u-n-arms-trade-treaty-senate-approval\" title=\"Obama Sends Signed U.N. Arms Trade Treaty to Senate for Approval\"> several letters<\/a> to the president over its efficacy to stop bad actors from obtaining arms, its overly broad and ambiguous language, and its capacity to threaten the Second Amendment rights of law-abiding citizens.<\/p>\n<p>Yet, despite the strong opposition, the Obama administration has plowed ahead in the hope that the miraculous happens, that the Senate ratifies the Arms Trade Treaty.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI recommend that the Senate give early and favorable consideration to the Treaty, and that it give its advice and consent to ratification of the Treaty, subject to the understandings and declarations set forth in the accompanying report,\u201d Obama said in the press release.<\/p>\n<p>This week, upon receiving the transmission from the White House, Sen. Bob Corker<a href=\"https:\/\/www.chattanoogan.com\/2016\/12\/9\/337787\/Corker-Reiterates-Strong-Opposition.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"obama-sends-signed-u-n-arms-trade-treaty-senate-approval\" title=\"Obama Sends Signed U.N. Arms Trade Treaty to Senate for Approval\"> once again reiterated <\/a>his objection to the Arms Trade Treaty.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSince 2012, many senators, including myself, have expressed opposition to the small arms treaty, citing an array of concerns with Second Amendment rights,\u201d said Sen. Corker (R-TN).<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNothing has changed over the last four years to suggest the treaty is in our national interest, and it will remain dead in the water,\u201d Corker added. \u201cI reiterate my strong opposition and will work with my colleagues to protect the rights of Americans.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Like all gun control legislation, the Arms Trade Treaty starts from the flawed premise that one more law, or in this case international treaty, is all that\u2019s needed to stop bad actors from behaving badly. Of course, that\u2019s absurd. Criminals, by definition, flout the law. So do failed states and rogue superpowers. We can sanction Russia, China, Iran or whomever we wish for breaking international law or violating the provisions of a treaty, but does that stop them from continuing to do so? Not usually. In most cases, it just hardens their resolve to stick it to us even more.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cI recommend that the Senate give early and favorable consideration to the Treaty, and that it give its advice and consent to ratification of the Treaty, Obama said in the press release.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":34,"featured_media":62076,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_specdata_upc":"","_specdata_placement":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[244,7,25,216,240],"tags":[132,469,122],"featured":[],"hunt365":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-67125","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-2nd-amendment-r2kba","8":"category-gunsamerica-authors","9":"category-current-events","10":"category-s-h-blannelberry","11":"category-this-week","12":"tag-buzz","13":"tag-gun-control","14":"tag-r2kba"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.3 (Yoast SEO v27.3) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Obama Sends Signed U.N.
