Every now and then there is some good news.
Today, gun-grabbers in the Obama Administration lost a major battle you probably won’t hear about on tonight’s evening news…
On Sept. 25, U.S. Secretary of State, John Kerry, signed the U.N. Arms Treaty without the consent of the U.S. Senate. Despite his signature, the gun restrictions Kerry thinks America “needs” will not become law.
Today, 49 U.S. Senators boldly told President Barack Hussein Obama that they refuse to approve the treaty.
Article 2, Section 2 of the U.S. Constitution requires 2/3 of the Senate to give their affirmative “advice and consent” before any treaty can be approved by the Senate and ratified by the President.
Here’s the scathing letter 49 legislators sent the President today. Check the document and see if your senator respects your Second Amendment rights.
The members of Congress who affixed their names to the letter said they oppose making Americans register their weapons and equally stand against any foreign power having veto powers concerning internal American affairs.
They also reject giving any international commission the right to regulate the sale and ownership of American munitions.
This report is actually from yesterday, not today. The letter mentioned is linked at the source. It lists the objections to the treaty and is signed by 8 senators, a few of whom might surprise you.

So, 51 US senators support this? Great.
-
The letter was signed by 50 senators so 1/2 of our senators don't believe in our constitution. One of the state of Missouri's signature was there republican Roy Blunt but of Course the democrat in our state Clair McCaskill voted for it she loves kissing Obama's ass.

So who comprise the 49?

REad the article and it0 tells who the 50 senators were that signed the letter.
