Representatives attending the UN Arms Trade Treaty (ATT) in Mexico this week have set up a structure for future conferences on gun control that include a veto-proof decision making process.

Don’t know if mine rushed to Lexington since their internet was down that day but I do know some of my folks were in one of the NY state militias that fought the Brits. Green Mountain men. Catskill, Hudson, Athens NY area. Found a bunch of them on the rolls.

Please, cher Texicano, short bursts, three to five rounds, and then it won't pull up and to the right off target.

. Unless, of course you're a tank gunner, in which case 30-at-a-go are usually the order of the day, or if you're a door gunner, in which case let 'er rip!

Pass all the laws you want. Do you really think gun owners will willingly hand over their weapons?

The courts will shoot this down in a heartbeat.

If they fail to do so, I will live out the rest of my days as a criminal. And I am fine with that as I know I am following the law.
