Good news about the UN gun treaty

[Electromagic]

Senator Moran et al know the US constitution as well as tough political topics. US wrestled with arming Libyians and see same issue in democratic rising of Egypt and Syria, at opposition of Russia and China. Selling democracy seems to imply a populace not too scared to speak up and vote. US seems to be torn between two sides of the gun debates. Recent history is showing that the Bill of Rights was necesary and correct, including amendment 2. It is not wise to have UN rewrite US B of R.

Just keep in mind they may have an underhanded "under the radar" method of bypassing the Senate on this ... of course it will require Obama win the election and the Dems keep the senate.

But it burns off at high speed

Not at my age

Bennet and Udaul were not any of the 8 democrats that signed the letter.

At your age the only thing you do fast is forget

Watch this for one method of making it easier to bypass the Senate-

Something to consider- We do not know the text of this Treaty. There may very well be sections of it that are construed as an "Agreement". An agreement does not have to be approved or ratified. It would not have any bearing on our Constitution but it may very well define things such as importation of foreign made arms and components.
Imagine no firearms/components of foreign manufacture being imported.
No foreign made ammunition.
No parts kits.

Even if not ratified it can still have very serious and deep implications to the American firearms community.

Yeah, man that sucks. I guess Glock and XD parts and guns will be harder to find, more expensive, or just run dry. No more cheap-ish ammo either? FML...
