Quote Modify Remove Message From Texas Attorney General

Your Liberty -- as a United States citizen -- was weakened and threatened yesterday when the Obama Administration helped the United Nations pass the Arms Trade Treaty. Immediately after this disappointing vote, I wrote a letter to President Obama urging him not to sign the treaty. If the President signs the treaty allowing the UN to be involved in regulating firearms in the U.S. , Texas will lead the charge to have the treaty overturned in court as a violation of the U.S. Constitution. I need your support. Please help us get the word out by referring 3 of your friends right now, and forwarding this email to 5 of your friends. Together, we can make a difference. America is exceptional in part because our Constitution safeguards our individual liberties – including the right to keep and bear arms enshrined in the Second Amendment. The new UN treaty threatens your rights:
it doesn't recognize the individual right to keep and bear arms or the fundamental right to defend yourself, your family, or your property;
it empowers a new UN bureaucracy focused on firearms restrictions that will be run by international bureaucrats who are not accountable to the people of the United States .
it could impose firearm registration requirements that may empower international authorities to get information about American citizens and businesses.
This UN treaty does more than trample Second Amendment rights. It also threatens to erode all liberties guaranteed to Americans in the Constitution by giving the UN power to govern our lives. Please refer 3 of your friends today and forward this important message to 5 of your friends right now. Your voice must be heard on this issue. When the Constitution says, “the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed,†it means no one—including the UN—can infringe upon that right. UN treaties do not trump the Constitution. And with your help, we will make that message clear to President Obama and this administration.

Sincerely,

Greg Abbott

It just NEVER stops with this admin. :mad:

ANYTHING they do, while may look okay on the surface, at it's core goes completely against the grain of this country and it's founding ideals.

And calling stuff like this out, that is eroding our freedoms, rights and country SHOULD NEVER be considered "out of line" ANYWHERE - the reality that it is in some places is exactly why we are headed down the road we are, and it is shameful that we have let our country get to that point.

If the founding fathers of this country could come back right now, they'd kick all our asses for letting our country wither and corrupt away like it has. I'd imagine they'd bust that nice big flat screen TV with American Idol or the ball game over our heads and smack us in the face with the Constitution and ask us if we know what in the hell this is and what those words MEAN.

Look, I know that several on this forum don't like Obama. I certainly don't. However, just a little over 1/2 of the people in this country voted for him. Think of this in another way, ALL of the idiots in this country voted for him. Thought of in anotehr way, the chances are that if you did not vote for him, your neighbor did. Now, go over to that idiot's house and slap him. He needs to be woke up.
