This is about a poll conducted on what American citizens would do if Obama somehow managed to get the UN Treaty that is being written now passed in the Senate. I wouldn't put it past them as no one thought they'd ram Health Care down our throats. Who knows what arm twisting they could pull off. I don't think Americans believe he can pull it off. I sure hope not but with all that is going on I am not totally optimistic that he will fail.

Whatcha wanna bet that 80% of that 55% lives in the rural areas where it really matters anyway?

I'm sure there are a lot of boot licking cops out there just licking their chops at the thought of disarming the citizens.

The article at the link provides incorrect information regarding what it takes to (legally) amend the United States Constitution.

For amendments desired by congress, a 2/3 vote of BOTH houses is required to PROPOSE the amendment -- but said amendment is not valid and is not part of the United States Constitution until it is ratified by 3/4 of the states. (And who here thinks there is any real chance of THAT happening with an amendment that guts the original 2nd?)

Even if Obama manages to get a "gun banning treaty" ratified in the U.S. senate it will be null and void as far as our gun rights go. His administration cannot legally impose any UN gun ban in the People of the United States.

That's not to say he and his proposed "civilian national security force" would not some day try to do it illegally, but I think THAT really would provoke a 2nd American Revolution.
