We need your guns, because the Feds cant control your boarders, and keep us safe. To own a gun is my right, so Clinton you need to start looking for NEW JOB. You will see in 2 years if tyou keep this up. Tell the UN to take a hick.

Clinton's have been trying to take the guns away from law abiding citizens for years. This is just another way to try to force us to give up our second amendment rights as well as our guns.
If the Obama's and Clinton's have their way the ONLY people that will have guns are the criminal's. The people won't be able to protect themselves or go hunting for food or anything else.
But they also will NOT be providing the protection the the people need. But they sure won't be giving up their body guards that we the people foot the bill for.

This email is old now, but since I haven't been able to find the text of the treaty I can't verify if it only applies to arms trade between nations, or if it is an international agreement to limit small arms by the means stated in the email. Please send me the location of the text if you've seen it. Regardless, I personally am not terribly concerned about it. There aren't enough cops to enforce it, there aren't enough US soldiers to enforce it, neither group wants to, and a bunch of sissified French, German and Italian soldiers with pretty blue helmets would make for some good target practice. In other words I agree with you, but perhaps for different reasons…

Wow—scaremail…too bad none of it is true.

1) Clinton doesn't sign anything—only the Pres. can sign a treaty
2) Any treaty has to be ratified by a 2/3 vote of the Senate
3) This is an INTERNATIONAL treaty—as in "arms trade between nations"
4) In 1957 the Supreme Court ruled in "Reid vs Covert" that the Constitution supersedes any international treaties made by the Senate, so the whole thing is moot.

Crisis averted—now you can go back to complaining about birth certificates.

No wonder the Obamaites are silent about gun control with such a Senate and House majority. They learned from the Clinton era that widespread gun control legislation is a death knell for those seeking re-election. with the help of the UN, Obama and friends get to have the gun control they want and none of the fallout.
