D-Day for Gun Control (STOP the UN Small Arms Treaty)

Right Wing News ^ | 11 July 12 | Dick Morris

[History Repeats]

The UN and anti-gunners are standing at one end of Concord bridge. We stand at the other end. It’s time to fire that first shot and show them we will not allow them to treat us like slaves.

[Vaduz]

Repeal our Second Amendment rights.
Another gift grom the democrat party,Karl Marx wins again.

Another gift from the democrat party,Karl Marx wins again.

[Biggirl]

A second American revolution will be the result of all this. Mark my words.

[Biggirl]

Not this time around Marx will win. I predict hot blowback is going to happen.

[DarthVader]

58 Senators and nearly 200 congressman have told Obugger to back off on this. Keep putting the pressure on your representatives.

[GeorgeWashingtonsGhost]

I want to agree with you but it’s astonishing how many people either don’t know or don’t care about protecting what our Forefathers gave to us. The ‘fight’ has been bred out of the average American. This is intentional. History has been rewritten and/or ignored by the schools. We are a nation of robots compliant to big brother.

[DarthVader]

Karl Marx gets erased this time.

[Biggirl]

Sure about that?

[Biggirl]

There is still fight left. It is not all gone.

[Vaduz]

Stop them now or never.

[Noumenon]

We will stop it. One way or the other.

[paulcissa]

Prepare to vote from the rooftops.

“We are a nation of robots compliant to big brother.”

Nonsense.
I have a higher opinion of my fellow Americans, noob, or at least of the non-Democrats.
Obama has demonstrated his determination to lose, and now to lose big by throwing himself on the 2nd Amendment “third rail.”
His actions have already lost him the election. All this means is that he loses by a “landslide”.
I’m talking 1984: http://uselectionatlas.org/RESULTS/national.php?year=1984

The Romney supporters should all take a chill pill. They probably don’t even need our support. The electoral map for Romney will look a lot like the one provided above.
On November 6th we’ll have three former Democratic presidents, all deadwood, all useless carpers & meddlers & burdens on the taxpayers, & all vying for the title “Worst President Ever.”

To all who may read this thread...

In case you didn't know, 2/3 of Senators present can ratify a treaty.
@ PROCEEDINGS AND DEBATES OF THE 106th CONGRESS, SECOND SESSION

S10667

The PRESIDING OFFICER. A division has been requested.
Senators in favor of the ratification of this treaty, please raise their hand. (After a pause.) Those opposed will raise their hands.
With two-thirds of the Senators present having voted in the affirmative, the resolution of ratification is agreed to.
Mr. THOMAS. I thank the Presiding Officer, the Senator from West Virginia, and the clerk.
By the way, just for information, these treaties were all approved by the Foreign Relations Committee on October 4 and 5.

2/3 of Congress wasn't there. Those present voted for the ratification. The quorum call was rescinded with no objection.
It doesn't matter if they aren't present when the vote comes up.

So we have the potential of all these "stand up guys" simply not showing up when it comes time to vote and they can then truthfully claim "I was against this treaty".

They need to formalize their intent to object.
Executive Calendar

When a notice of intent to object is given to the appropriate leader, or their designee, and such notice is submitted for inclusion in the Congressional Record and the Senate Executive Calendar, or following the objection to a unanimous consent to proceeding to, and, or disposition of, matters relating to nominations and treaties on their behalf, it shall be placed in the section of the Senate Executive Calendar entitled “Notice of Intent to Object ”. (S. Res. 28, 112th Congress) Don't forget the importance of this either... When a notice of intent to object is given to the appropriate leader, or their designee, and such notice is submitted for inclusion in the Congressional Record and the Senate Executive Calendar...

It could be ratified due to one person simply not doing their job properly.

[Pentagon Leatherneck]

I’ve sent letters to Senators Warner and Webb just today. I suspect they’ll not vote to ratify, but I’ll be watching.

[Pentagon Leatherneck]

Well, maybe Warner is squishy. Here’s the response from him:
Dear Mr. Leatherneck,

Thank you for contacting me to share your views regarding a potential United Nations (U.N.) arms trade treaty, which is currently being negotiated at the U.N. Conference on the Arms Trade Treaty in New York City.

The U.N. regularly drafts and proposes treaties on a variety of issues that the United States has the ability to consider as a member of the organization. The dialogue surrounding whether to establish an arms trade treaty is ongoing. Any U.N. treaty must be ratified by two-thirds of the Senate to be applicable to the United States. However, U.N. treaties do not trump the United States Constitution.

Regarding Second Amendment rights generally, I realize that there are very strong opinions on both sides of the debate. I support public policies that ensure the responsible and appropriate use of guns, as well as efforts to reduce gun-related crimes through increased enforcement and background checks. I do not, however, support laws or regulations that infringe on the Second Amendment Constitutional right of law-abiding citizens to keep and bear arms.

Please be assured that I value the thoughts that you have shared with me on this important issue. I will keep your views in mind should any legislation on this matter come before the full Senate in the future.

Again, thank you for contacting me. For further information or to sign up for my newsletter please visit my website at http://warner.senate.gov.

Sincerely,
MARK R. WARNER
United States Senator

Not once in that letter did Sen Warner state that he would oppose that treaty.
