Sen. Lee Sinks UN Arms Treaty [Maybe]

[Olog-hai]

Republican Mike Lee of Utah on Wednesday became the 34^th senator to oppose an international treaty that would regulate the $60 billion global small arms trade, giving the opposition enough votes in the U.S. Senate to block its ratification. …

“I have great concerns that this treaty can be used to violate the Second Amendment rights of American citizens, and do not believe we should sign any treaty that infringes on the sovereignty of our country,” Lee said. “I am pleased to join 34 of my colleagues in signaling to this administration that the UN-ATT is a non-starter in the Senate.” …

Should not even be that close

Exactly!

We need to find out if any US Senators were for this and let them hear from us.

Because that has worked so well in the past? These traitors could care less what you or I or ANYONE thinks.

“..Just a wild guess here, but I’d put money on Schumer, Feinstein, Durbin, Franken, Gillibrand, Fauxcahontas, and a few more of “the usual suspects.”....”

The core of the communist regime in power.

[shove_it]

“Sen. Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.) offered an alternative amendment that clarified that under current U.S. law, treaties don’t trump the Constitution and that the United States should not agree to any arms treaty that violates the Second Amendment rights. His amendment passed by voice vote.”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Yet Leahy and almost all Democrats voted for the UN Treaty. What a bunch of two faced rats, covering their asses.

[Drawn7979]

i can't believe he's doing this.

[lgjhn23]

All Democrats except for two Independents.

“Democrat = Treason...”

Democrat = Treason = Communist.
Fixed it.
They really all need to be dealt with in a convincing way.

I would love for the gun grabbers, Obama, the socialist dimocrats, the stinking UN, the commies, etc., to SHOW AND PROVE TO ME, that ONE, just ONE stinking crime was committed by a scum sucking gang banger LEGALLY purchased a hand gun and then went out and committed a crime with it. Prove it to me to show me that these laws are going to stop gun related crime and murders!!!! They can’t. Because these scum do not go into a gun store and legally purchase guns. NEVER!!! They get them in the black market. Even with total confiscation of guns, gun crime will not stop. These stupid feds cannot stop millions of tons of illegal drugs from being brought into the country. They WILL NOT be able to stop black market guns, made in commie 3d world nations, eastern block countries, from coming into the US.

[Neoliberalnot]

Amazing to me that 46 senators, 45 demrats and 1 independent, voted to relinquish US sovereignty to a corrupt and vile foreign empire. Treason by any name.

[Neoliberalnot]

46 voted yes, 45 dems and 1 independent.

[b4its2late]

I expect nothing less from my two idiots.

[Cyber Liberty]

I believe the Treaty has to come to a Vote before they reject it,if Harry Reed does not bring it to a Vote it is in effect until he does

I don't think so. If that were true, we'd have been bound by Kyoto for a decade or so, and we weren't. It never came up for an official ratification vote either. It lost an advisory vote by the margin this one should have, 97-3 or so.
