Maybe I missed a post, but my fiancée just texted me saying the united states has decided NOT to sign the in treaty. Straight from the superior court, which by the way is very pro gun

I hope that is true, that would be the best news I've heard in a while! <thumbsup>

Well it's kinda true, the US asked for more time...

I think our saber rattling worked :hethan: :gtfo2: :banana:

Hmmmm, I'm shocked and relieved at the same time. Maybe O'looser figured it out he'll loose if he signs.

I have been told that this is how it was intended. Now Mexico can sue us in international court, and it will happen anyway, without him having to take any responsibility, as has been his MO since Illinois.

I got this off the Brownells monthly newsletter;

(Interesting point about the Senate ratification of this UN ATT. I read from a reliable source that treaties submitted to the U.S. Senate require approval of two-thirds of Senators present to be ratified. Wonder what happens if it's brought to the floor at 0200 hours when most against it are absent and the few there are for ratification and two-thirds of them vote in favor of it.)

Brownells are usually not alarmist.

I think it would have to be 2/3 of total, 67 votes.

YESSSSSSSS!!!! <thumbsup>

jeffreyC · July 28, 2012

The US asked for more time, then Russia and China did too.

So, it is not dead but held off for now.

392heminut · July 28, 2012

I doubt that it will ever be dead, the U.N. will just keep coming back with it again and again. This go around is not the first one! I've said it before and I'll say it again, the U.N. needs to be kicked out of this country!

U.N. has repeatedly shown it's uselessness,ain't doin poop for the Syrians.

CavScout62 · July 28, 2012

Since US Money is the only money that keeps the UN going, I think it would behoove us all to start a petition to be sent to our Senators demanding that, in light of our current fiscal situation (thank you Obie!) all funding to the UN be suspended. The fact is, we simply can't afford to prop up this anti-American do nothing bogus organization. What say you Brothers?

unforgiven · July 28, 2012

Yea layoff for the bastards.Sorry but your services are no longer needed,we will call you when things pick up. :gtfo2: :thefinger:

I'm sure that had a lot to do with what is going on in Syria, and N Korea! Also with something like 46 congress men call Hillery up and saying it would be best not to sign it helped us. From what I understand they plan to be back at the tables in the near future under radar to start back up, and they plan to do this before January. Dick Mooris sent out over 700,000 letters to congress from/for folks like us whom signed his petition. That right there says a lot when nearly a MILLION people responded to just one web site over this rediculas excuse of a Treaty!!

I don't think so. Not talking about like the White House if that what u thinking.

Hope you didn't mean the Pentagon, then.

Oh hell no!! I was pissed when they hit it. Read the very recent posts before that post of mine.

jeffreyC · August 26, 2012

The treaty returns for round two August 27th, as in tomorrow.

There's a few buildings in this country allot of freedom loving people would have been happy to see taken out. I personally wouldn't have been upset to see the Federal Reserve destroyed. Sad for some of the employees, but happy for the nation's futire.

Hope you really didn't mean that last remark.There is no reason why innocent people should be put to the sword.They didn't make policy just happen to work there.Anyone kills someone I love all bets are off.They will be hunted to my last dying breath.

Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon today urged sustained efforts to tackle the illegal trade in small arms and light weapons

Mr. Ban told delegates, in a statement delivered by Deputy Secretary-General Jan Eliasson, that illicit small arms remain the weapons of choice for those who seek to challenge legitimate State power

This is from the UN itself, emphasis added by me.
