Article. I. Section. 5.

Each House shall be the Judge of the Elections, Returns and Qualifications of its own Members, and a Majority of each shall constitute a Quorum to do Business; but a smaller Number may adjourn from day to day, and may be authorized to compel the Attendance of absent Members, in such Manner, and under such Penalties as each House may provide.

Be ever vigilant! Who didn't sign?

Of course, it’s a liberal Democrat Senate with a long history of lying and in the back pocket of the gun control groups so take it for what it’s worth.....

If the Senators had any idea of keeping their oath when they took office, this should have been Unanimous Hillary and Obma took oaths too,but of course we have already seen what Obama's oath means.

Once again, our constitution cannot be lawfully amended by treaty!

The U.N. can mandate anything, it just cannot have any ability to enforce their agenda within the U.S. borders.

And while they’re at it, this would be a good time to encourage the UN to set up shop somewhere else - like a different hemisphere.

we strongly encourage your administration to uphold our constitutional protections of civilian firearms ownership. These freedoms are non-negotiable

Why is it that we never hear this type of language from the Senate when the Lefties bring up a new round of infringements on US citizens' right to keep and bear arms?

Blue helmets make great targets”

Well yes they would EXCEPT, It won't be blue helmets enforcing UN gun control laws it will be your local friendly county and city JBTs who will be enthusiastically going after gun owners and killing (if they can) any who resist.

And that is why the motherland department of internal security is showing videos of white middle class terrorists. Anyone who doesn't turn in their guns will be by the government's definition, a terrorist. I'm sure 0 and his advisors have a final solution for the gun owner problem waiting in the wings. I also suspect that a few police heroes who decide to "follow orders" on gun confiscation won't be going home to their families and high fiving with their buddies over some patriot's corpse.

I knew this would happen. Obama has planned to use the UN back door way to completely demolish the Constitution in every respect. This evil evil man and those who surround him don’t plan to EVER leave the White House. He plans to be self appointed King forever. One Huge A— Mistake America!! CO

Some one here who is very good with the search function could probably locate several threads on the “Study” conducted at Monterey a few years back.

The “Study” asked U.S. troops if they would fire on American citizens to enforce gun control laws.

An alarmingly high percentage stated that they would do so.
As I recall this was during the Klinton regimes term in power.

So, nothing new under the sun, same old same old, only the names change, the socialist agenda does not!

The “Study” asked U.S. troops if they would fire on American citizens to enforce gun control laws.

I remember it.

The survey does exist and was passed out to a few hundred Marines in 29 Palms, California, in 1995, but not by the Pentagon. According to an article in NEW AMERICAN magazine in October of 1995 by John F. McManus, the survey was part of an academic project on the part of a Navy Lieutenant Commander Ernest Guy Cunningham who was earning his Masters Degree from the Naval Postgraduate School in Monterey, California. The survey alarmed some of the Marines and copies soon started being circulated among gun rights supporters. Lt. Cmdr. Cunningham told McManus that he was a member of the National Rifle Association himself and didn't agree with the tone of the questions. He said the survey was intended to confirm and then pass on to higher authorities his fears about "the lack of knowledge among the soldiers about the U.S. Constitution, the Declaration of Independence, and their heritage as Americans."
I also remember that about 1/3 did not answer the question.

It was at 29 Palms in the Klintoon years.

Lt. Cmdr. Guy Cunningham thought it up.
