Actually, this practice violates the federal models. There is no role for the federal government in funding, leading, driving, or otherwise directing municipal government.
Municipalities are subdivisions of the State, and the State is supreme within its sphere. This practice of using federal tax grants to "buy in" to local policymaking and policy execution is actually a total violation of the Ninth and Tenth Amendments. Lyndon Johnson was the principal offender here. He began using the U.S. Treasury the way that liberal foundation board members had been using targeted, renewable, conditional, marginal grants of foundation money to get the attention, and then the obedience, of local politicians under the noses of their (unacceptably conservative/whatever) States.
It is actually subornation, and ultra vires the federal government.
I can’t find anything on it
Two people who espouse gun control right down the line:

“FactCheck: Yes, Obama endorsed Illinois handgun ban
Obama was being misleading when he denied that his handwriting had been on a document endorsing a state ban on the sale and possession of handguns in Illinois. Obama responded, “No, my writing wasn’t on that particular questionnaire. As I said, I have never favored an all-out ban on handguns.”
“Actually, Obama’s writing was on the 1996 document, which was filed when Obama was running for the Illinois state Senate. A Chicago nonprofit, Independent Voters of Illinois, had this question, and Obama took hard line:
35. Do you support state legislation to:
a. ban the manufacture, sale and possession of handguns? Yes.
b. ban assault weapons? Yes.
c. mandatory waiting periods and background checks? Yes.
Obama’s campaign said, “Sen. Obama didn’t fill out these state Senate questionnaires—a staffer did—and there are several answers that didn’t reflect his views then or now. He may have jotted some notes on the front page of the questionnaire, but some answers didn’t reflect his views.”

do I really have to say it???
Just what kind of soldiers is he referring to? Our military doesn't use these, only his muslim brothers do!
And of course Communists, terrorists, tyrants and drug lords worldwide.
Isn't it interesting how President Obama thinks it is better for AK-47s to be in the hands of the Taliban, Al-Qaeda, the NVA, the Somalians, Hezbollah, Hamas, and assorted other groups all of whom have or are using them to try to kill Americans, than in the hands of criminals, who in large part just use their AK-47s to fight each other.
The only gun control we need involves more range time.
He is that arrogant, but what scares me is he really isn't THAT stupid - maybe he "knows" something about this upcoming election, like maybe it doesn't happen at all.
He is pulling out all of the loony-lefty stops, and doesn't seem to care if it drives his poll numbers down.....
What would you do if you woke up one morning and turned on the news and heard that the President signed a UN treaty outlawing the private ownership of firearms in the United States. What would you do if you had a brother,sister or father or grandfather that was an avid gun owner and the UN or local police took them away for the fact that they owned fire arms and refused to give them up? Well when you wake up tomorrow morning the 27th of July 2012 The President will have most likely signed that treaty. And we are one step closer to being a dictatorship.
Let us all not forget history. Germany first act of Adolph Hitler ban gun ownership, 6 millions jews killed, 50 million people killed in WW2. Stalin no one was armed in the Soviet Union, 20 million Ukrainians dead. Mao 100 million Chinese killed. Ect ect. (Those that forget the Past are bound to repeat it). Molon Labe (come and take it)!
Ayers postulated that a significant portion of the U.S. population would have to be offed for his socialist utopia to take root. Can’t remember if it was 25,000,000 or 25%. Either way, a boatload or two. Consider that most of his targeted population probably have some riflecraft background and equipment on hand, the final number might be a bit higher.
No mention that the greatest supplier of these weapons is our own DOJ ala Fast & Furious.
I would love to get my hands on an AK47. You cannot wreck one of those.
Only if Romney is smart enough to choose the right side of this. If he starts mumbling about compromise he is toast.
From the Tea Party, it says that the Senate does NOT have to ratify this treaty: http://teapartyorg.ning.com/forum/topics/the-senate-does-not-need-to-ratify-a-un-treaty-for-us-to-be-bound?xg_source=activity
The U.N. Arms Transfer Treaty (ATT): “The United Nations is polishing up a global Arms Transfer Treaty (ATT) this month in a New York convention that would create a global registry of private ownership of firearms. This treaty — which would also mandate creation of a national collection agency for those guns and is contrary to the U.S. Constitution’s Second Amendment — has the long-standing and enthusiastic backing of the Obama State Department, headed by Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.”

Obama will sign Small Arms Treaty: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-bloggers/2903144/posts
I do not understand how this can be thrust on Americans without the approval of the Senate. It will essentially cancel the 2nd amendment.
They weren't just buying "shotguns".
They were buying a particular model "for compatibility with existing inventory".
Well, I have known for forty years since being saved that the Lord did not predict things to get better, and that this is currently the realm of the god of this world. But are we merely to sit on our fannies and wait for His parousia, or are we to show forth his death til He come, and contend for the faith, praying for our leaders, and making a difference where we can? with a possible commendation at the Judgment Seat of Christ?
What will you do?
Respectfully
I agree, we must all pray and do our best.
My caution was against expecting God to intercede, dismiss the rascals, and restore America.
This was the expectation of the Jews, in the 1st century.
I'm here and authorized as an ambassador to offer citizenship in a new country.

The God was present, in person, and offered the Jews a new Kingdom with a new Kingdom through His plenipotentiary, John Baptist -- until the Jews' ruler Herod had him killed. From then on, Jesus only preached the Kingdom of The God -- the offer of His Kingdom on the earth was over, for a long time.
This was the expectation of the Jews, in the 1st century.
They had the offer, and muffed it. They also muffed The God's only other offer -- that of the Romans, just as badly. Today, July 28, 2012, is the anniversary of Tisha b'Av on the Jewish calendar, when the Temple was destroyed and the Jews were dispersed.
Someday the streets of the USA will be a battlefield of patriots vs tyrants, so yeah we need ‘em.
