Step by step destroying our values: Clinton announced the United States would reverse Bush administration opposition to international small arms control, potentially paving the way for the British-led effort, which calls for a vote by the U.N. General Assembly by year’s end.

[American Dream 246]

As noted in “British gun control: Coming soon to a country near you? ” seven countries, led by the United Kingdom, are attempting to revive U.N. efforts to restrict imports and exports of small arms. On Wednesday, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton announced the United States would reverse Bush administration opposition to international small arms control, potentially paving the way for the British-led effort, which calls for a vote by the U.N. General Assembly by year’s end.

The U.S. would support the “Conference on the Arms Trade Treaty” as long as it was conducted under rules of “consensus decision-making,” interpreted by some to require unanimous consent, Clinton said. Non-governmental organizations such as Amnesty International and Oxfam, which support international restrictions, objected to requirements for a consensus.

The Heritage Foundation, calling demands for consensus “irrelevant” and “dangerous,” expressed opposition to the conference. The NRA has long opposed treaty efforts on grounds they would be used to abridge American’s right to keep and bear arms guaranteed by the Second Amendment

Obama compensates for small arms by having special, longer shafts on his golf clubs. Slows the swing down a bit, but you don’t top quite as many.

I personally will attempt to kill any SOB who tries to take any of my weapons . Get to the range and practice, practice ,practice .

and America takes another one in the........

Gun Wisdom

Clint Smith, Director of Thunder Ranch, is part drill instructor, and part stand up comic.

Here are a few of his observation on tactics, firearms, self defense and life as we know it in the civilized world.

"The handgun would not be my choice of weapon if I knew I was going to a fight....I'd choose a rifle, a shotgun, an RPG or an atomic bomb instead."

"The two most important rules in a gunfight are: always cheat and always win."

"Every time I teach a class, I discover I don't know something."

"Don't forget, incoming fire has the right of way."

"Make your attacker advance through a wall of bullets. I may get killed with my own gun, but he's gonna have to beat me to death with it, cause it's going to be empty."

"If you're not shootin', you should be loadin'. If you're not loadin', you should be movin', if you're not movin', someone's gonna cut your head off and put it on a stick."

"When you reload in low light encounters, don't put your flashlight in your back pocket. If you light yourself up, you'll look like an angel or the tooth fairy and you're gonna be one of 'em pretty soon."

"Do something. It may be wrong, but do something."

"Nothing adds a little class to a sniper course like a babe in a Ghilliesuit."

"Shoot what's available, as long as it's available, until something else becomes available."

"If you carry a gun, people will call you paranoid. That's ridiculous. If I have a gun, what in the hell do I have to be paranoid for."

"Don't shoot fast, shoot good."

"You can say 'stop' or 'alto' or use any other word you think will work but I've found that a large bore muzzle pointed at someone's head is pretty much the universal language."

"You have the rest of your life to solve your problems. How long you live depends on how well you do it."

"You cannot save the planet. You may be able to save yourself and your family."

"Thunder Ranch will be here as long as you'll have us or until someone makes us go away and either way it will be exciting."

And More Excellent Gun Wisdom....... The purpose of fighting is to Win. There is no possible victory in defense.

The sword is more important than the shield, and skill is more important than either.

The final weapon is the brain. All else is supplemental.




Lasergrips Are An Immediate Decisive Advantage

Does anyone else remember how well British gun control worked out in Lexington and Concord back in 1776?

A UN treaty that these Idiots in the WH would sign, would have to be ratified by Congress....Both are
Sworn to uphold the Constitution, would this be an Impeachable offense if Obama signs an Agreement going against the 2nd Amendment ?
If Obama “goes there” he is a really Dumb President asking to be Impeached.....Glen Beck would do THAT which Rev. Jesse Jackson said he was going to do....Slice and Dice.

“The boyz with the blue helmets” will have no problem “disarming American citizens”. Who do you think Hussein will call on when American troops and law enforcement personnel refuse to do his dirty work?

All the more reason to “Get the US OUT of the UN, and the UN OUT of the US!”

[4Speed]

Watch it with threats, El presidente qualifies for One of the Two .............so far........that was close.

[aSeattleConservative]

...”would this be an Impeachable offense if Obama signs an Agreement going against the 2nd Amendment ?”

I was researching the same question, but regarding the recent passage of Federal Hate Crimes legislation and its violation of the 1st Amendent.

Let me know if you get an answer.

[Renegade]

How bout’ to PERSONALLY take away my weapons ?

[UnbelievingScumOnTheOtherSide]

All real political power comes from the barrel of a gun.

Call me a Maoist for repeating the obvious.

[Beckwith]

...potentially paving the way for the British-led effort

Obama's British!

[Kickass Conservative]

Which reminds me.

An Armed Man is a Citizen, an Unarmed Man is a Subject.

[dalebert]

I thought this stinkin @$$ president took an oath to uphold the constitution. I think he is going down in history as worse than jimmy

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ratification

“In the US, treaty ratification must be advised and consented to by a two-thirds majority in the Senate. While the United States House of Representatives does not vote on it at all, the requirement for Senate advice and consent to ratification makes it considerably more difficult in the US than in other democracies to rally enough political support for international treaties.”

“How boutÂ’ to PERSONALLY take away my weapons ?”

Well, The SOB still applies, but its no longer a Threat to “President Panty waist”......The Teleprompter would never Tell “O” to participate on a personal level.
Any volunteer Brown Shirts wanna chime in ? Hello..! Yo ?

Nope....?

“The boyz with the blue helmets” will have no problem “disarming American citizens”.

Given a) the determination of those American citizens who own guns to keep them and b) the record that the boys in the blue-helmets have had in other combat assignments, I propose that they would have a huge problem in disarming American citizens.

[Renegade]

Damn, You’re right ! SOB does apply. Didn’t even think of that !
