Kerry voted for it anyways...
I been following this for some time (not real close, but still paying attention somewhat).
The theory I heard a while ago was our government was going to put less energy into their own gun grabbing laws and silently as possible let the UN do it.

Not exactly false. The ATT treaty was signed by the administration. It does have small weapons bans in it. This is one where Snopes is actually playing politics with their interpretation of the truth. It has come down to where you can't believe Snopes anymore......
In March 2013 a finished version of the Arms Trade Treaty (ATT) was finally presented to the U.N. General Assembly, and that body approved the treaty by a vote 154 to 3 (with 23 abstentions) on 2 April 2013. The U.S. was one of the member nations voting in the General Assembly to approve the treaty; only Iran, North Korea, and Syria voted against it. The treaty was finally signed by U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry in September 2013, but the treaty still requires ratification by fifty U.N. signatories before it goes into effect (so far only seven nations have committed to that step), and it still requires approval by the U.S. Senate before the United States commits to its terms.
