Perhaps, some day, if and when you're more rational, we can discuss

this. You're bringing up gun rights in the middle of a debate about

heavy arms sales. You're one person who really needs that education,

Rob. Maybe get an anti-NRA rabies shot, too. You were foaming there

for a minute.

I don't have a personal position gun rights. I don't live in the US, so don't care very much about it. The UN Arms Trade Treaty was intended to stop developed countries from shipping weaponry to bad nations. It had nothing to do with domestic gun rights, but the NRA took it up for no logical reason, and you seem to support that they did. You need to educate yourself, friend.

Since you know little about guns and gun rights...the FACT of the
matter is that the Arms Treaty set itself up to make our 2nd Amendment
null and void.

Sorry folks...we here in America have no wish to become like the UK or
Oz and have people come and try..try to take our guns away.

It would simply mean that UN troops would come to America..and be
dozed enmass into large open pit grave sites. And most of us..actually
like those fellows when they are not wearing that blue helmet/cap...so
killing them would simply be a bummer.

Your attempt in trying to minimalize the effects of the Arms
Treaty...either from ignorance..or alterior motives..is noted.

"[F]ar from being the Great Satan, I would say that we
are the Great Protector. We have sent men and women
from the armed forces of the United States to other parts
of the world throughout the past century to put down oppression.
We defeated Fascism. We defeated Communism.
We saved Europe in World War I and World War II.
We were willing to do it, glad to do it. We went to
Korea. We went to Vietnam. All in the interest of
preserving the rights of people.

And when all those conflicts were over, what did we
do? Did we stay and conquer? Did we say, "Okay, we
defeated Germany. Now Germany belongs to us? We defeated Japan,
so Japan belongs to us"? No. What did we do?
We built them up. We gave them democratic systems which
they have embraced totally to their soul.
And did we ask for any land? No.

The only land we ever asked for was
enough land to bury our dead."
