Obama puts gun rights in crosshairs

Via wnd.com » Submitted On Mon, 11/19/2012 - 2:28pm by Buster Bunker

The day after President Obama was re-elected, his administration acted to jump start a United Nations treaty that critics say takes direct aim at Second Amendment freedoms here in the U.S.

Pennsylvania Rep. Mike Kelly is pushing House legislation to demand Obama reject any efforts at the United Nations or anywhere else to infringe on Americans’ constitutional right to keep and bear arms. The House doesn’t have any real jurisdiction on the issue as the Senate gives the final word on treaties, but Kelly said raising public awareness is critical.

I think the Founders viewed firearms the protection for the Constitution.

Nor does it apply to only those above the age of 18 or 21. It clearly states the rights of the "people". I believe that if a person can demonstrate the ability to safely handle a firearm, a person is qualified to carry that firearm. Regardless of age, wealth, social standing or race.

Not only that but I think the Founders were well aware that technology advances as well. So the types of arms were of no concern to them either. So if one had the means to own missile defense systems they are of the right to do so according to the 2nd Amendment.

Was just a matter of time before this was started again. He tried before the election then decided it may have a negative inpact on his election so he put it on the back burner for after he got re-elected.

If you are a member of the NRA extend your membership, if not get going and become a member even if you have no intentions of ever firing a gun. The NRA is the most effective individual way, along with Freedom Connector to check efforts by liberals who wish to ban guns.

Don't forget the most important way to exercise your 2nd amendment right is to buy guns and ammo. And become proficient using them!

The very act of trying to pass legislation or regulations limiting gun purchase,ownership,or manufacturing is in fact infringement and should be prosecutable as such! Why are there no lawyers brilliant enough to bring these kinds of arguments to light and execute lawful diligence?
