It'll kill him, it needs 67 votes in the Senate to be ratified.
I'm more worried about the LOST treaty (Law of the Sea). Talk about a sovereignty-stealing redistribution scheme!!
The global trade in conventional weapons – from warships and battle tanks to fighter jets and machine guns – remains poorly regulated. No set of internationally agreed standards exist to ensure that arms are only transferred for appropriate use.
Many governments have voiced concern about the absence of globally agreed rules for all Countries to guide their decisions on arms transfers. That is why they have started negotiating an Arms Trade Treaty. Preparations to address this issue have been underway since 2006 and will culminate in the Conference on an Arms Trade Treaty in July 2012.
In 2006, the General Assembly requested countries to submit their views on such a treaty. More than 100 countries did. These views were collected in a 2007 report by the Secretary-General on the issue.
In 2008 a Group of Governmental Experts produced a report on the topic.
In 2009 an Open-ended Working Group – open to all States – held two meetings on an arms trade treaty. A total of six sessions of this Group were planned.
In 2009 the General Assembly decided to convene a Conference on the Arms Trade Treaty in 2012 "to elaborate a legally binding instrument on the highest possible common international standards for the transfer of conventional arms". The General Assembly also indicated that the remaining four sessions of the Open-ended Working Group should be considered as sessions of the Preparatory Committee (PrepCom) for this Conference. PrepComs took place in July 2010, February 2011, July 2011 and in February 2012 (Report of the PrepCom).
By paragraph 1 of that resolution, the General Assembly requested the
Secretary-General to seek the views of Member States on the feasibility, scope and
draft parameters for a comprehensive, legally binding instrument establishing
common international standards for the import, export and transfer of conventional
arms and to submit a report to the General Assembly at its sixty-second session.
VII. Conclusions and recommendations
27. In view of the complexity of the issues of conventional arms transfers
considered by the Group on behalf of the Secretary-General and the General
Assembly, further consideration of efforts within the United Nations to address
the international trade in conventional arms is required on a step-by-step basis
in an open and transparent manner to achieve, on the basis of consensus, a
balance that will provide benefit to all, with the principles of the Charter of the
United Nations at the centre of such efforts.
28. The Group recognized that there are different motivations for
conventional arms production and acquisition. The Group observed that the
weapons being traded in the illicit market can be used for terrorist acts,
organized crime and other criminal activities. In addition, the Group
acknowledged the need to prevent the diversion of conventional arms from the
legal into the illicit market.
29. The Group acknowledged the respective responsibilities of exporters and
importers. In order to begin improving the current situation, the Group
recognized the need for all States to ensure that their national systems and
internal controls are at the highest possible standards, and that States in a
position to do so could render assistance in this regard, upon request.
III. Goals and objectives
This Treaty will seek to:
1. Promote the goals and objectives of the United Nations Charter;
2. Establish the highest possible common international standards for the import,
export and transfer of conventional arms;
3. Prevent, combat and eradicate the illicit transfer, illicit production and illicit
brokering of conventional arms and their diversion into the illicit market, including
for use in transnational organized crime and terrorism;
4. Contribute to international and regional peace, security and stability by
preventing international transfers of conventional arms that contribute to or
facilitate: human suffering, serious violations of international human rights law and
international humanitarian law, violations of United Nations Security Council
sanctions and arms embargoes and other international obligations, armed conflict,
the displacement of people, transnational organized crime, and terrorist acts, and
thereby undermine peace, reconciliation, safety, security, stability and sustainable
social and economic development;
5. Promote transparency and accountability in import, export, and transfers of
conventional arms;
6. Be universal in its application.
Those arms makers and dealers which make gazillions of dollars a year chanelling small arms to Third World countries, contributing to the bloodshed, are going to fight this tooth and nail. And they will be pouring millions of gallons of bongwater, generating enough diversionary smoke to greenhouse the entire planet, and putting up enough deflective mirrors to power the state of Nevada with solar power.

Bush was against because he thought NATIONAL controls the appropriate course, now the NRA is against it because they FEAR domestic control. Have conservatives actually read this treaty?

I've read it, I'm against it, and if they think they're going to get a list of my weapons they need to think again.

Theyre not covering it because its moronic idiocy.
And presidents dont sign treaties, treaties are authorized by a two-thirds majority in the Senate.
