U.N. Small-Arms Treaty Fizziles

Negotiations to produce a United Nations agreement on a small-arms trade treaty – a move seen by many Second Amendment defenders as an assault on U.S. gun rights – have ended with barely a whimper.

“This is a big victory for American gun owners, and the NRA is being widely credited for killing the U.N. ATT,” the NRA-ILA statement said.

This is great news! But don't take but a nap yet; they will re-convene and make another stab at it under a different name, maybe "It's for the Children" or some similar trash. Stay vigilant, mu fellows!

Power to the people. You can, from miles away, hear the wailing and crying of all the politicians, including that washed up, haggard looking witch Hillary Clinton, who so strenously tried to surrender our freedoms to an internatioanl body. Thats what Americans want --- people in Nigeria telling us how to live. Or the spineless chaps in England. Or the Chinese, who tend to KILL people they find with guns....Which is why THEY don't have much trouble from their "subjects"....
