[rocktot]

Anyone calling Udall and the other guy on the Senate UN gun treaty thing comming up on the 21st?

Looks like its going to go through. Didn't see a MUST CALL thread or anything.

Yawn, right, yea, so there is no Colorado delegation hitting our own senators not to support this? Yawn.....

No Colorado gun groups are pushing to call and email them until it hurts? Udall probably won't support, but I wouldn't count on it...yawn.

I think something like 58 senators signed a letter that they won't support the treaty, so it shouldn't pass. It could have big impacts on the availability of surplus arms and ammo though if many other countries move to adopt.

Kiss any foreign made firearm good bye if we sign in.
The treaty may not get ratified in the Senate but we have no way of knowing which parts may be considered an "Agreement".
An Agreement does not have to be voted upon and does not carry the same weight as a Treaty.
But it certainly may have serious ramifications.

I would imagine that many countries would destroy them not export them. They don't want to move the guns around they want to get rid of them.

Anyone know when it would go into effect?

O darn, you mean we might have to buy USA............ That would really suck wouldn't it. Imagine American manufactures supplying the US armed forces and Americans with guns made by the sweat of US citizens.....

[rocktot]

Yah! Lets let the Government dictate what we can buy. Its also gun registration, and then, as in New York, Confiscation. Yay, who needs ANY of those dangerous weapons? Weapons are racist anyway. Your much safer without guns!

Check out Dick Morris' site for an interesting video on this. In fact, the senate does not need to vote on it in order for it to go into effect! Because of a previous UN agreement (Vienna...?), it is treated as law until either the senate votes on it or the president renounces it - neither of which are going to happen while Beeho is in office. Just amazing how our politicians have gotten voters out of the way and have given themselves the power to get something like this approved.
