My question is....ONLY 50 SIGNED THE LETTER?

So 50 are in favor of not upholding their oaths to the Constitution.

Throw them out! TODAY!

“In order for this treaty to be ratified, it would need 60 “yay” votes in the Senate.”

If it’s a treaty, it would need 67. They sometimes try to get around this by calling it an “agreement” but then you have to bring the House in.

I see many are the same traitors that allowed Obamcare to be funded. Maybe trying to save face now. Oh well I’ll take whatever scraps I can get with the current regime in power.

50 out of 100? This is not good news at all. Obama has shown he can buy off enough of them to get it passed.

You can be sure most of those who didn’t sign the letter were rats

I count ALL the Republican senators plus 3 democrats: Manchin, Landrieu and Hagan.

Nice to know so many democrats have preserving the US Constitution in mind (that they took an oath to)...

With the way Kelly Ayotte sold us out on ObamaCare, what are the chances that she will really follow-through on this?

We will not give up our 2A regardless of what these or any other traitors say or think.

I’m with you. Yes that is good news that obama won’t be allowed to further erode our rights - at this time. But I’m very concerned about the 50 who declined to sign the letter.

This means, gun owners will not need to forfeit their God-given right to self-defense and President Obama is on notice that his latest attack on the Second Amendment is dead on arrival in the Senate.

Need? Need to forfeit our God given right to self defense??

I don't know a single gun owner who feels a need to forfeit their God given right to self defense.

Let's be clear about what this U.N. treaty and Obama are up to: They are up to FORCING legitimate, God Fearing gun owners via force of Government to surrender their God given rights to self defense.

THAT is what this is about, despite the piss-poor "journalism" eminating from TownHall.com

That this is ‘good news’ is depressing.

Like Agenda 21 it will be implemented a bit at a time, anyway.

You didn't expect the liberals to sign the letter, did you? Here is the letter and the names of Senators who signed it

It’s depressing to have 50 un-american senators openly defy the Constituton without consequence.

Since there is no time limit, this Treaty will remain signed and awaiting ratification for years if necessary until there are enough DemocRATs in the Senate for passage. The danger is not over, and never will be.

So 50 Senators are willing to trash our Constitution and subjugate our sovereignty to foreign powers. 50 Senators favor TREASON?

Amen Brother, that was my thought as well. Where are the other 50 and why didn’t they sign. What this actually means is that they are only ten votes from ratifying the Treaty.

The treaty will remain signed and at any time if they can buy ten votes it is settled law, as they so like to say.

Don’t think they cannot buy votes. They bought McConnell for 2 billion dollars.
