That's just not treason.

That is a matter of opinion and we disagree.

Obama is trying to undermine the Second Amendment yet is giving millions of dollars in weapons to our enemies. Enemies who have sworn to destroy both the US and Israel.

In my opinion this is nothing short of treason.

No, it is not a matter of opinion. It's a matter of law, very specific law in fact.

That's bad policy, it isn't treason. Lots of Presidents have tried to limit the second amendment, the courts either rule those policies constitutional or not. That's not treason. Lots of Presidents give aid, usually legislatively authorized, to countries such as Pakistan who are really probably our enemies. Again, that's policy - not treason. Most of the time that money is authorized by Congress anyway.

And it's not millions to Egypt, it's billions. About 2 billion a year, with 1.3 billion being military aid. Again though, that's policy. That isn't even especially controversial policy at this point. It's a continuation of the same policy that has been in effect for a very long time. The Congress, including Republicans in the House, are going to fund this very policy. Are they are all treasonous? Are all the House Republicans treasonous? You see what I mean? These are policy differences, it isn't treason.
