So Kerry signs a treaty that requires the exporting country be provided information on the end user and claims no infringement on constitutional rights. Give me a freaking break.
Kerry signs U.N. Arms Trade Treaty, says won't harm U.S. rights
Your thoughts?
You're wrong.
Your opinion is motivated by partisanism, completely devoid of the facts.

'The practical implications for U.S. arms manufacturers are likely to be limited since, as Kerry noted, the United States already has in place the kind of strict export controls for weapons that are outlined in the treaty.
"We are talking about the kind of export controls that for decades have not diminished one iota our ability in the United States as Americans to exercise our rights under the constitution," he said.
"This treaty will not diminish anyone's freedom, in fact the treaty recognizes the freedom of both individuals and states to obtain, possess and use arms for legitimate purposes," Kerry said after signing the treaty.
"Make no mistake, we would never think about supporting a treaty that is inconsistent with the rights of Americans, the rights of American citizens to be able to exercise their guaranteed rights under our constitution," he said.'
The treaty has no bearing whatsoever on American citizens, their fundamental right to possess firearms, and Second Amendment jurisprudence – any claims that the treaty will 'jeopardize' the freedoms of Americans is a lie.
