“This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in Pursuance thereof; and all Treaties made, or which shall be made, under the Authority of the United States, shall be the supreme Law of the Land; and the Judges in every State shall be bound thereby, any Thing in the Constitution or Laws of any State to the Contrary notwithstanding.” — Article VI, Clause 2
I have lived in Mexico, and I know the country well. I would not live there without a weapon. And there are millions of Mexicans who feel the same way.
“but a treaty can’t be broken..”
Treaties, like piecrusts, were meant to be broken”. Lenin
don’t know who else saw the joint news conference from mexico late this pm, but; obama was put on the spot with a pointed question about his not re-instituting the assault weapons ban. his answer was that it was not legislatively possible , right now, to renew the ban. however, he said that there was an immediate opportunity to pass ballistic matching legislation in congress. i’m sure most of you remember this from past experience. bottom line? it legislates ammunition manufacturers out of business. so in very lawyerly fashion, we are not denied our rights to own guns as guaranteed, congress just puts “reasonable safety provisions” on ammo; ones that effectively cannot be met when combined with statutory fines for violations. i searched for a trnscript and so far have not been able to locate one. here we go again.
"... due to the harmful effects of these activities on the security of each state ..."
Yep, the state, not the people come first for them.
To take effect, this treaty would have to be ratified by two-thirds of the Senate; the House would have no official role. How many Senate Republicans would vote for this Obamanation?
>So in truth, taking the sword out there was merely something you wanted to do, more than something you felt you needed to do.

>Wouldn’t you agree?
Oh, I do agree. But is a right contingent on whether or not the action is a want or a need?
I know so many people that can’t find ammo anywhere
BINGO!
That’s why I’m investing in Guns & Ammo... not the reading materiel.
Agreed, good post. I too feel we are already past the point where we will be able to vote or talk our way out of this mess.

>>Anyone else get the feeling that Alex Jones isn’t paranoid *enough*?<<
Ummm, I am starting to feel that way and I really hate to admit it.
On the plus side Blue Helmets are more visible and the people wearing them will be illegally occupying troops on sovereign soil.
iirc, an unconstitutional treaty is not valid...
under our constitutional gubment... so elected entities vowing to uphold our constitutional rights who try to usurp those rights... should be tried in a court and jailed.

I live in Mexifornia and I wouldn’t live here without a weapon either. Unfortunately for most in liberal counties, CCWs are hard to get.
JR, is it time to repost the article under a different title?
