Obama Sends UN Arms Trade Treaty To Senate
Posted by Brian in Law, News, Threat Watch on 15/Dec/2016 17:31
From America’s First Freedom:
With his time in office quickly winding down, President Barack Obama gave America’s law-abiding gun owners one last poke in the eye on Friday by sending the U.N. Arms Trade Treaty (ATT) to the U.S. Senate for consideration.
We’ve been reporting on the Arms Trade Treaty for years (see two examples, here and here, for some background on its dangers). John Kerry signed the ATT on behalf of the Obama administration back in 2013, and it took effect in 2014. But 67 U.S. senators must vote for its ratification—a tall order to fill with the Senate’s current pro-gun landscape.
U.S. Senator Proposes Gun Law With Unproven Technology
Posted by Brian in Law, News, Threat Watch on 6/Mar/2014 08:05
From Boston.com:
The Gun Owners Action League of Massachusetts said the technology championed by Markey is often flawed and smart guns ‘‘only work correctly in the movies.’’
‘‘No technology should stand between a lawful gun owner using his/her firearm,’’ the group said in a written statement. ‘‘We also find it more than disingenuous that a senator with very little knowledge of firearms, who has worked to stifle the Second Amendment, would offer mandated technology that gun owners have not asked for, nor supported.’’

Amendment That Prohibits Sale of Weapons to Egypt Rejected by Senate
Human Events reports on Rand Paul’s amendment in the Senate. Paul said this when it did not pass:
I think it is a blunder of the first proportion to send sophisticated weapons to a country that allowed a mob to attack our embassy and to burn our flag.
Another Hearing On Guns To Be Headed By Feinstein
Posted by Brian in News, Threat Watch on 1/Feb/2013 12:35
After the hearing yesterday Senator Feinstein wants to have her own hearing.
From Politico.com:
“I’m concerned and registered my concern with Sen. [Patrick] Leahy yesterday, that the witnesses are skewed to the anti-gun, anti-assault weapons position,†Feinstein told POLITICO. “He agreed that I would be able to do my own hearing on the assault weapons legislation which I will proceed to do.â€
BREAKING: Firearm Regulation Hearing Set for the 14th
The U.S. Senate has scheduled a hearing for the 14th of September titled “Firearms in Commerce: Assessing the Need for Reform in the Federal Regulatory Process”
Does that sound good to anyone? If you live in or near D.C. I urge you to sit in on this hearing and report back what was discussed. It sounds to me like another improper use of the “commerce clause”.
Additional Info: The hearing was called by the chairman of the committee Senator Leahy of Vermont.
