Do your part for global warming: ban beans and hold all popcorn farts.

Yet another fundraising ploy by the NRA to extract $$$ from the fearful.

"The UN Boogeyman is coming for your guns!"

That is SO 2008. The NRA (along with the gun manufacturers it represents) probably extracted all the $$$ it's going to get out of that scare. So it needs a new boogeyman to keep the $$$ flowing in.

You are saying Obama DIDN'T call for a ban on an entire type of weapon?

Cause... He did.

When the senate refuses to ratify this treaty, we will have the good fortune to join Iran, Syria, and N.Korea who also oppose it.

And how exactly does the UN treaty infringe upon your right to own weapons?

I'm tremendously interested in what this treaty would do if say, the US secretly supplied weapons to radical Muslims in Syria or some other similar situation....

Well, when the gooberment uses words like "assault weapon", what other result would you expect?
I don't see a delineation in the constitution.

Agreed, I don't see restrictions on the word "arms" in the constitution at all.

Yet, most people seem to be okay with some restrictions on the type of arms allowed to be owned.

Dear Mark,

Please don't go the way of some funjumpers we all know. It's not becoming.

Thanks,

Apologies - it's damn near impossible to make sense of some posts here.
I do realize that is generally the intent as well.

Having a hard time understanding "Shall not be infringed"?

Besides the USSC has already ruled a ban on an entire class of weapons commonly used for legal reasons would not be constitutional.

A great question.

Article 12 encourages encourages registration and for the records to be delivered to the nation that made the firearm... So I buy a Beretta shotgun and that information is not only recorded in the US (Illegal under US law) but also given to Italy.

Further it encourages Countries like Italy to not sell weapons to Countries that are not signatories. So in essence Beretta is not supposed to sell weapons to the US.... A shame since I really want a Silver Pigeon III at some point for skeet shooting.

That is just one example.

Yes, with "oob" and "scums" and "tards" being shot out, its surprising how everything doesn't turn into a gun thread.



Republiscums?
Gooberment?
Dedmotards?

Funny though . . . my spell check doesn't red line Republiscums. I guess it is a new accepted word on Dizzy.

Creepy Assed Cracker . . . Nope . . . no red lines there either.

I think I've tried to not attack any parties, I they are equally to blame.
I don't have that same attitude towards the government as a whole.
Hence my reference to them that way.


I don't want to get into internets arguments.
They're a waste of time and only the trolls enjoy them.

Cool a new member to the Axis of evil, but as the USA are the self declared good guys, maybe the Axis will be diluted to the Axis of mild naughtiness.

Ahh...so now you see those that support the constitution as sheep.

Got it.

For some reason, I suddenly understand your obsession with wackos.
