Obama/U.N. Gun Control Treaty Headed for Defeat

By Glen Wunderlich

When the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in 2008 that the Constitution protects an individual’s right to keep and bear arms in the historic District of Columbia v. Heller case, President Obama was on the wrong side of history, when he supported the self-serving “collective-rights” argument. Even though he had stacked the court with left-leaning likenesses in his image, the 5-4 decision came in favor of an individual who only wanted the right to defend himself. And, last year Obama and his Supreme Court puppets lost another battle against the common man, when the Supreme Court ruled that the federal right to keep and bear arms applies to states and local levels of government. But, these conclusive results are not about to stop the Obama administration from its quest to subvert the Constitution via a United Nations Arms Trade Treaty designed to trump our rights. Read more

12 Democrats Oppose Obama’s U.N. Gun Control

GW:  This gun control effort by the U.N. and Obama seems to be headed for defeat, because 2/3 of the Senate must vote in favor of the treaty for it to become law.

The Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection (DEEP) said today that results of genetic tests show that the mountain lion killed in Milford, Conn. in June made its way to the state from the Black Hills region of South Dakota and is an animal whose movements were actually tracked and recorded as it made its way through Minnesota and Wisconsin.
