They might want to communicate with actual Americans
first, it’s as dead as universal gun checks.

For more than a decade, activists and some governments have been pushing for international rules to try to keep illicit weapons out of the hands of terrorists, insurgent fighters and organized crime.

Would be interesting to know who these "activists" are.

"Unfortunately, that has produced a document that leans much too far towards satisfying the concerns of the Arab Group and Mexico. The former view it as a rebellion prevention plan, while the latter wants a text that edges towards its view that the domestic firearms market in the U.S. should be subject to treaty regulation," he [a guy from the Heritage Foundation] said.

Thought this was an interesting statement.

The US can "go along with the latest text" all it wants. Without the advice and CONSENT of the US Senate, it's meaningless.

Mexico...wants a text that edges towards its view that the domestic firearms market in the U.S. should be subject to treaty regulation,"

Don't you just love it. Our representatives bend over for the illegals from Mexico and Mexico wants more.

Mexico can kiss my ass and go fuck themselves.

Not sure it is dead as universal background checks.

The Great and Almighty Faux News says it’s poll has 80% of AmeirKans favor Universal background checks. What Faux News does not tell you is that 79% do not know what Universal background checks mean to the American people when inacted.

It just sounds like a goooooood thing, so let’s do it.

Heh, heh, heh. I read about these a lot years ago. Of course, being the ingenious types that some are, they may be able to come up with their own new, improved version of the Lewis and Clark air rifle. As it stands, there are probably 400 million + guns in private hands and most are not registered anywhere. Yet. And, they shouldn’t be. Sadly, mine (if I ever had any) were lost when Mt. Saint Helens popped. Mud flow or something to that effect.
