The Senate Foreign Relations Committee held a hearing on the nomination of Harold Koh to be Legal Advisor to the State Department. One of the many concerns with Koh is his belief that international organizations should be empowered to regulate the Second Amendment right to own a firearm. In 2002, Koh gave a speech titled "A World Drowning in Guns" in which he mapped out his vision of global gun control. He supports the idea that the U.N. should be granted the power "to standardize national laws and procedures with regional organizations" and advocated a U.N.-governed regime to force the U.S. "to submit information about their small arms production." Koh believes the U.S. should "establish a national firearms control system and a register of manufacturers, traders, importers and exporters" of guns to comply with international obligations. This regulatory regime would allow U.N. members such as Cuba, Venezuela, North Korea and Iran to have a say in what types of gun regulations are imposed on American citizens.

The simple fact of nominating a guy like this should be prima facie proof of treason. Get a rope. No, get a bunch of ropes.
Global gun control...WHAT A CROCK.
The only people on the planet that will abide by global gun control are the ones already abiding by their own country’s gun control. Therefore, the very people that GLOBAL gun control is aimed at will be precisely the ones that totally ignore it.
IDIOTS.
Did you know that Obama is expanding ACORN around the world?
This man has aims a lot higher than just the president of the US. When people were making fun of him after the speech in Germany, saying that he thinks he’s the world candidate. It was true. He does think that.
No way should this nomination even be debated.
Nooo, that’s not it, you see.
Even the most fanatical grabber is quite aware that criminals won’t obey the laws. The practical objective of gun control is to keep the law-abiding populace harmless, docile and manageable. The farmer may not have the time or resources to track and kill every predator that menaces his livestock, but he never fails to dehorn his cattle to make milking (and slaughter) safer and easier for him, nevermind that the cattle would have a better chance against predators with the horns in place.
It was never about the “wild” humans, it’s a management strategy for the “domesticated” ones.
We simply MUST keep the heat on ALL our elected officials if we are to stop insane crap like this! Letters, emails, phone calls...all of them help. Remember that the primary goal of all Senators and Representatives is RE-ELECTION.
It’s time to take back the country.
Lacking the guts and the courage to make a direct assault on the 2nd amendment, the left is taking its standard tack of trying to “sneak up on” the American people and our right to keep and bear arms. These indirect attacks on our freedom and rights have succeeded in the past. But this is truly the lefts holy grail when it comes to emasculating the public. No armed public has ever been enslaved by a dictator. The left know this very well and will do everything in its power to overturn our right to keep and bear arms.
Koh is a good Communist, as is his master, but 0 is playing the Fascist game at the moment, and it seems the left, as well as moderate invertebrates on the right have chosen to embrace the 2nd Amendment, for as long as it helps them deceive voters.

Well, if nothing else, the debate shows which of these clowns would vote for this guy so we know how many more ropes we need.
I suppose it might be possible that the AG is blissfully unaware of the unequaled in history mass stocking up of firearms and ammunition by Real American Citizens beginning with the nomination of Hussein Øbama by the communists for the exact reason stated above...
But good luck finding anyone that matters that believes it.
There will be no registering, control, confiscation or turning in of firearms or any other submission to such attempts at treason by current administration cabinet members.
The analogy "f@rting into a hurricane" comes to mind. Of course, and once again it is clearly demonstrated by Eric’s statements, reality is not a component of communist’s delusional existence.
Wake Up America!
Be Ever Vigilant!
