The Democrats have tried every trick in the book to  install gun control and Billary Clinton is one of the main forces behind it. These kind of agreements are exactly  what our enemy's want. To take the Guns from American Citizens would open the door for the largest Terrorist acts the world has ever seen, This is one of the Hopie Change things the OBUMA Administration has been working on behind closed doors since the day he was elected .      cc

The sad part is that some brain dead gun owners still will not believe that the muslim in the White House is not anti-gun and will vote for that liar again.

I think that this got shot down, but could come back at any time.  The article is from  October 14, 2009.  It never hurts to remember what he has tried in the past and would implement in a heartbeat if he could.

This issue is an on-going threat to us and our freedoms.  It comes up every year within the U.N.  I received this e-mail from the NRA today.
Tester-Moran Amendment to Block Use of Taxpayer Money to Lobby for UN Gun Ban Passes by Voice Vote

Posted on May 25, 2012
As we reported last week, every gun owner concerned about the future of our Right to Keep and Bear Arms should be aware that the United Nations and the global gun eradication movement are attempting  to eliminate our Second Amendment freedoms by drafting a U.N. Arms Trade Treaty.  This treaty would cover tanks, helicopters, and other heavy weapons but could also include civilian rifles, shotguns and handguns.  The treaty's language will be finalized by the U.N. this July during a four week conference.

In an attempt to thwart this serious threat to our sovereign rights and freedoms, earlier this year, Sen. Jerry Moran (R-Kans.) introduced S. 2205--the "Second Amendment Sovereignty Act."   S. 2205 would prohibit the Administration from using "the voice, vote, and influence of the United States, in connection with negotiations for a United Nations Arms Trade Treaty, to restrict in any way the rights of United States citizens under the second amendment to the Constitution of the United States, or to otherwise regulate domestic manufacture, assembly, possession, use, transfer, or purchase of firearms, ammunition, or related items, including  small arms, light weapons, or related materials."

This week, during consideration of the Fiscal Year 2013 State, Foreign Operations and Related Programs Appropriations Bill, Senator Moran took additional steps to safeguard our rights and joined Sen. Jon Tester (D-Mont.) in offering an amendment to protect the rights of American gun owners from being undermined by the proposed ATT.  We're pleased to announce that the amendment passed by a voice vote.

The amendment will block any taxpayer dollars from being used to advocate or agree to any provision that would restrict in any way the rights of United States citizens under the Second Amendment to the Constitution of the United States, or that would otherwise regulate the domestic manufacture, importation, assembly, possession, use, transfer or purchase of firearms, ammunition or related items.

"The United Nations must be prevented from interfering with our constitutional freedoms.  Equally important, American taxpayers should not be forced to foot the bill for the U.N.’s efforts to restrict our Right to Keep and Bear Arms," said NRA-ILA Executive Director Chris W. Cox.  "The NRA would like to thank Senator Tester and Senator Moran for their leadership in offering this amendment to protect American freedom."

A similar amendment, offered by Rep. Denny Rehberg (R-Mont.), was adopted by the House Committee on Appropriations in the Fiscal Year 2013 State, Foreign Operations and Related Programs last Thursday by a bipartisan vote of 30-20.

I realy cant understand how anyone can try and alter our constitution! They should be charged with something for just bringing up the idea. Just thge thought of not being able to own a gun and protect your family if needed doesnt make any sence at all Are there realy people out there that think the police can protect you? If there ever was a time to be ready for bad things to happen i believe we are there.
