It is a bit ironic that the super patriotic Americans in this thread are seemingly in favour of supporting foreign arms manufacturers rather than American companies. As the Treaty's intention is to control to some extent the arms trade between nations. I would think that "True Amuricans" would be in favour of it because then Americans could only buy American made weaponry.
On the "Small Arms" definition, I believe the contemporary understanding in most of the world is a weapon that can be carried and operated by one person.
What exactly are you going to do in Pakistan if I may ask and why chose there?
Americans can only purchase American made weaponry, now...thanks to the Libbo pushed anti-friggin-gun laws. Where you been?!?
We can't buy FN-FAL's, that are actually made in Belgium. We can't by HK's that are actually made in Germany.
once the proposed treaty is actually written & finished, we can then review & analyze it.
something your dem buddies should have done with the OBAMATAX before passing that abomination
That's what the Germans said back in the 30's. Look how that turned out for them!
I say we jump all over the slightest threat to our liberties like a duck on a june-bug. Because, "this ain't no bog deal", is exactly what people said before the Commies took over in Russia and the Nazis took over in Germany; the Commies in Southest Asia; the list goes on. I would rather attack these strategies when it's just matter of fussin' rather than having to go to the cartridge box.
One would think you would go ahead and post a link to confirm that for us...jus' sayin'.
Any treaty ratified by our government is considered the law of the land. I could give a **** what the rest of the world wants to do, but if a treaty such as this is ratified, I'm seriously concerned about how our own government will use it against is, especially the Liberal assholes that are running the show, now.
For years I supported the NRA. Got the magazine. Had the little sticker on the camper of my truck.
I don't seem to remember them, back then, trying to scare me into oblivion and make me shake in my little spaceboots because the "government was coming for my guns."
Why are they resorting to that type of paranoia nonsense now? Does it generate more revenue.
Nobody's coming for anybody's guns. Ain't nobody even talking about coming for my guns but the tinfoil hat paranoid people.
Really?!?
Get a grip.
Americans and their guns are inseparable. Everybody knows that.
You can all come out now. The wicked witch is dead.
Sheeeesh....
This isn't ****ing Nazi Germany, and you're delusional to compare this to it. Live in constant fear if you, if you can call it a life, but personally I'll take things from a reasonable perspective.
What does this treaty actually do? I see what some alarmists write, but I can't find hard original text.
Not yet! And, with folks like me, it never will be.
Remember when Libbos screamed like a pig under a fence that it's our patriotic duty to question our government? I betting--since The One is in office--that most of you don't!
no treaty can violate the Constitution, so I see little to worry about.
again, the Constitution trumps ANY treaty we sign. so save the feigned-fear.
Don't call me a liberal, I'm not one and I passionately avoid labels like that.
And if you want to go on thinking you're the only line of defense against a nazi take over of America go ahead and keep on thinking that way, but you're living in a ****ing fantasy world.
How long do we have to go through the red tape to prove that the government can't trump the Constitution?
Why not have a president that says, "no! that treaty would conflict with our constitution", instead of a president that doesn't give a rat's ass about it, just as long as it goes along with his political agenda?
it hasn't been written yet.
Mein Kampf, The Communist Manifesto and The Final Solution weren't written yet at one time, too. How did your attitude work out for us, then?!?
yeah and folks didn't oppose such books until they were authored.
seriously, this is all just a bunch of anti-NWO conspiracist chicken-littlery.
History has also taught is that that point is just a tad too late!
wrong.
had we strongly opposed Hitler in 1925, he would have been but a speck in our memory.
How moronically hillarious is it that you claim that I'm wrong, then the very next sentence confirms what I just said?
