CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES. Amendment II . A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed.
During the 2008 presidential campaign, Barack Obama made a disparaging remark about people clinging to their God and their guns, which let us all know how he feels about gun rights. He and his liberal friends have made no secret of their disdain for the Second Amendment and this treaty appealed to him so he re-opened the talks. Everything was going along swimmingly well, for Obama at any rate, until the news got out that Hillary was actually set to sign the treaty.
The NRA stepped up their efforts and got commitments from 58 U.S. Senators to vote against it if it came to the Senate. Then the Internet took over, and millions of Americans signed petitions against the treaty. They called their Senators and Representatives who the pressured the Obama administration to cool it with the UN Treaty.
In 2006, the U.N. Small Arms Treaty reared its ugly head, ostensibly to prevent the export of small arms to cartels, insurgents, and others. However, opponents of the treaty believe its true purpose was to impose a worldwide gun control standard and eventually give the U.N. the means to confiscate all guns.
Earlier this month of July 15th, Romney campaign advisor Ed Gillespie said the charge in those Bain Capital commercials is, in his words, "a lie." Appearing on NBC's "Today" show, Ed Gillespie said there isn't any evidence that Romney outsourced jobs as head of Bain Capital.
Romney's push-back TV ads against Obama, in turn, has been the basis for a new Romney campaign commercial. In the ad, the Romney campaign assails Obama for the outsourcing assertion and says, "When a president doesn't tell the truth, how can we trust him to lead ?"
The United States Congress is concerned about the matter of domestic drones being fitted with weapons systems, which would mean an end run around the Posse Comitatus Act of 1878, that prohibits the use of the U.S. military domestically on American soil.
