let me guess, one of those defense hawks is Juan Mclame.
What a farce our government is.
What a bunch of cowards.
One nugget in the treaty would make a list of all U.S. gun owners available to the UN and its member nations. Nice. In further news, an Obama spokesman said that “the 2nd Amendment is not an issue in opposing this treaty.”
They better not!! That will end any chance of getting a Republican majority in the Senate. The NRA and other civil rights groups should spend their entire war chest to defeat anyone who votes to ratify this.

We cannot grow nor exercise our influence without YOU!
I guess ratifying a treaty with a foreign entity doesn’t include “we the people”. Glade I accidentally dropped all my guns in a lake several years ago.
Every Repub should vote against this but 34 of them will be enough defeat it, hopefully we’ll have that many.
If this isn’t a ‘litmus test’, I don’t know what is. This goes FAR beyond firearms ownership and the Constitution. This is all about our sovereignty. If the Senate ratifies this, we might as well not have a Union.
Each and every US Senator that supports this should be made to decorate lamp posts along Pennsylvania Avenue!

In a better world, it would take no thought whatsoever before repudiating an effort by One World Fantasists to persuade America to cede American self-determination to a gaggle of political hacks, fast talking con artists, deluded Utopianists, and internationalist hangers on.
But our demented Washington politicans have to check carefully into the feelings and wishes of their equally demented constituents before casting their votes once again to shred the constitution and further hobble the nation; a nation which, however laughable the proposition may now sound, was once the land of the free and the home of the brave.
Apparently, there is no shortage of volunteers.
Are these the ones?
Enzi, McConnell, Ayotte, Mike Johanns (R. Neb) Kay Bailey Hutchinson
Do we add Murkowski, Portman, Graham, McCain, Snowe, Collins, Lugar and Graham?
So much for the oath they all took. obama, Hillary and ??? are doing it to us with an end run around the Constitution.
They have made an error in judgment.
This will be taken as a declaration of war by the many millions of gun owners.
Impeach them before they start Civil War II!
It appears that American people may have to take on the baby raping, UN blue helmets to defend our Bill or Rights. I never dreamed that I’d live long enough to see this day. Gee! Thanks Barry!!!
Just look up: Reid v. Covert
Yes, the court can try do something stupid (Roberts) but that arguement could be made at any time. All Americans should be opposed to any treaties from the U.N. but the NRA is using this as a fundraiser.
58 Senators have pledged to oppose this. How is it going to pass?
For those of you who might ask...yes a treaty ratified by the Senate has the same effect as an amendment to the Constitution and it is just as hard to repeal.
Who? We need names!
Twisted BS statement. Implies that "W" was instrumental in writting it. He was not, the UN was the culprit. The GOP and "W" opposed it. This is Reporter twisted speech.
Just oppose it in its entirety.
No qualifications or stipulations about “if it covers this” or “if it includes that”.
Just oppose it.
We already have too much UN meddling in our affairs.
