I dont much care WHAT this administration or any other for that matter... SAY.
It's what they DO that concerns me.
Now matter how they spin it,or who spins it, it is the camels nose under the tent.
Anyone that can't see that is a liability to society rather than an asset.

You know......if the American public ever listened to good reason.......Obama wouldn't be in office to start with. Besides....would it matter who was in office at this point since this UN arms deal has been going on for years already (before 2000).
The media? What do you listen to more? The Pro or the Anti statements? Knowing what we know....why take any of the media at their word? Everyone's got a twist......their own twist. Just like translating the Holy Bible (bear with me all please).
How is it we the people fear things the government might do when we let what they've already done in undermining the real America go without argument?
You want to know some of the things that I actually do fear? Those whom wait until the last minute to worry.......those who didn't see what was coming.......those who put more faith in those with political power than they do themselves....etc.
How can I see my idealistic view of standing shoulder to shoulder with my fellow armed countrymen fighting against tyranny when the guy next to me is fixing to bail out because he heard that our enemy has better weapons and more troops?
The pen is mightier than the sword? That may be in certain circumstances, but a counter offer is..... live by the sword, die by the sword.
Take into account this is once again an election year (coming up very soon). Everything seems to swing into anxiety at these times (truth and circumstances evade common sense now). Ammo, firearms, threats to freedoms, shredding the constitution...etc, all come at these times. In essence, it's us questioning ourselves if we really have the ability to do the right thing no matter what the opposition or what we might think will befall us in a negative way due to our inactivity in the past.
So....what makes the headlines now? It's the UN arms treaty? Does the end of the world this year not bother anyone at this point? 12-21-12. We're now going to be worried about some political agendas when the world as a whole has five months and two and a half weeks left in it's existence?
What do I fear the most? Being taken by the enemy without firing a shot in my own defense. Dying for a good cause is easy so long as you believe in that cause deep down in your very heart and soul (nothing religious about that by the way).
Here's a famous quote for all of you to think on....think less of the context and more of the meaning. If you know who said it, just post it before your reply. Promise you won't Google it, then maybe you can stand next to me on the firing line.
They are them and we are America.....each and every one of us. If you've lost something, please find it before we need it. If you cannot find it....then it's just you alone, and we are without you which doesn't exactly make it US anymore. Comprende?Today we did what we had to do. They counted on America to be passive. They counted wrong

Just a couple of snippets from the resolution from January 2010 that set this whole thing up. (The one linked in the info wars story)
andRecalling its commitment to the principles of political independence,
sovereign equality and territorial integrity of all States, and acknowledging that
peace and security, development and human rights are the foundations for collective
security,
So we have these guys writing about what a terrible thing this treaty is while they have never seen it and can not show a single excerpt from it supporting their theory. On the other hand what we do actually have in writing is the resolution that calls for the creation of the treaty containing the above.Acknowledging the right of all States to manufacture, import, export, transfer
and retain conventional arms for self-defence and security needs and in order to
participate in peace support operations,
Acknowledging also the right of States to regulate internal transfers of arms
and national ownership, including through national constitutional protections on
private ownership, exclusively within their territory,
I like how Wolverton wants us to do a gramatical dissection of the other guys blog. Not too long ago I did the same thing to one of his pieces. When I have a little more time perhaps I shall review more of his stories in the same way. I must say that I don't read that Alex Jones stuff very often, but that is because I did some fact checking on the stories the few times I did read it. With basic fact checking the stories I have seen so far have been about 10% fact and 90% fiction.

Ok lets say that one party pulls a dirty trick and locks all of the other guys in the bathroom so they can't vote. There must be 51 Senators present for a quorum. If we break it down by party lines the Democrats alone could in theory ratify the treaty assuming that every single one of them agreed to it and showed up. But lets say they do pass it.Originally Posted by ANGLICO
Since that skinning cats article was written we have had two SCOTUS opinions affirming the right to keep and bear arms as an individual right so any treaty entered into by the federal government must respect that right.

The U.N has not been successful at anything it has ever tried to do. A complete waste of time.
Ignorance is a long way from stupid, but left unchecked, can get there real fast.

ANYTHING that Has Clinton, Obama and guns in it, around it, or about it and has anthing to do with the UN is wrong and should be fought against to the bitter end. They whole bunch are as anti gun as it is possible to be. We need to send the UN to Syria and vote the leftys out in Nov.

He's also stated several times in the past that he "doesn't line up with the NRA." He's playing the 2A issue to get votes, and it's working. IMO, our only hope was Ron Paul.

Here is a new article from Forbes Magizine about it. I didn't think that Forbes was a "shill" for the NRA.

Exactly. Did we just surrender to the British because they had better weapons and more men? Nope. IF by some chance this actually gets pushed through (and with our current govt and SCOTUS, I believe it could be), I have no doubt in my mind that it will throw this country into civil war. There are too many like-minded individuals in this country to just sit back and be complacent.

Where did I say that?!
Quit dodging, quote the parts of the treaty that show that it will end up taking our guns away.I already posted it in another thread thats running, go look it up if you don't believe it,,
Or you could just keep them Rose Colored Glasses on,,,,,,,,,

I don't thinks its finished or drafted yet.

I don't think anyone here thinks it's a wonderful thing. But some of us think it's pretty clearly not Armageddon in a blue helmet, and that the credibility of everyone who believes strongly in gun rights is harmed by the hysteria coming from our camp. The U.N. treaty is our "deadly assault rifle" or ".50 caliber terror".

I wasn't insinuating that you do think it's a good thing. I was referring to the UN's position on the treaty. Surely they have SOME detail of what it is going to include, so why not release them? What is so important to them that they can't tell us about it?
BTW, I haven't seen one person here talking about blue helmets. I'm simply concerned about the fact that some (most) of my guns will probably be classified as illegal if this happens to be pushed through.
No blue helmets needed. LE will enforce accordingly. Would that not be the first thing to happen?
