Over the weekend, we came four votes away from the United States Senate giving our Constitutional rights over to the United Nations. In a 53-46 vote, the senate narrowly passed a measure that will stop the United States from entering into the United Nations Arms Trade Treaty. The Statement of Purpose from the bill read: To uphold Second Amendment rights and prevent the United States from entering into the United Nations Arms Trade Treaty. The U.N. Small Arms Treaty, which has been championed by the Obama Administration, would have effectively placed a global ban on the import and export of small firearms. The ban would have affected all private gun owners in the U.S., and had language that would have implemented an international gun registry on all private guns and ammo. Astonishingly, 46 of our United States Senators were willing to give away our Constitutional rights to a foreign power. Here are the 46 senators that voted to give your rights to the U.N. Baldwin (D-WI) Baucus (D-MT) Bennet (D-CO) Blumenthal (D-CT) Boxer (D-CA) Brown (D-OH) Cantwell (D-WA) Cardin (D-MD) Carper (D-DE) Casey (D-PA) Coons (D-DE) Cowan (D-MA) Durbin (D-IL) Feinstein (D-CA) Franken (D-MN) Gillibrand (D-NY) Harkin (D-IA) Hirono (D-HI) Johnson (D-SD) Kaine (D-VA) King (I-ME) Klobuchar (D-MN) Landrieu (D-LA) Leahy (D-VT) Levin (D-MI) McCaskill (D-MO) Menendez (D-NJ) Merkley (D-OR) Mikulski (D-MD) Murphy (D-CT) Murray (D-WA) Nelson (D-FL) Reed (D-RI) Reid (D-NV) Rockefeller (D-WV) Sanders (I-VT) Schatz (D-HI) Schumer (D-NY) Shaheen (D-NH) Stabenow (D-MI) Udall (D-CO) Udall (D-NM) Warner (D-VA) Warren (D-MA) Whitehouse (D-RI) Wyden (D-OR) People this needs to go viral. These Senators voted to let the UN take our guns. They need to lose the election. We have been betrayed. 46 Senators Voted to Give your 2nd Amendment Constitutional Rights to the U.N. Pass this on to ALL of your contacts far and wide!!! These people need to be Immediately removed from office as soon as possible!!!!!! Tarring and feathering would also be nice!!!

I found this one the date is April 12 2013

It is true and it happened in March.

Not entirely. It's just posturing with a cushy title and get their constituents of both parties to believe they're doing something.

It's an ammendment attached to a fiscal budget, "Latest Title: An original concurrent resolution setting forth the congressional budget for the United States Government for fiscal year 2014, revising the appropriate budgetary levels for fiscal year 2013, and setting forth the appropriate budgetary levels for fiscal years 2015 through 2023. "

Here's a list of all the ammendments to the fiscal plan, including everything related and unrelated to fiscal policy...

And the full fiscal budget plan didn't pass:

http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/bdquery/z?d113:SC00008:

"Latest Action: 4/15/2013 Message on Senate action sent to the House."

Most I've used my poli sci degree as a network technician since graduating in 2008. w00t.

In short, if you read through all of the ammendments on fiscal planning, you can see what the senate is actually up to for both sides. Jacking off with all of their free time and doing diddly squat to actually resolve any problems or do any work.

those politician's addresses should be publicized for a little "come to jesus" meeting with the people who they choose to take the rights away from.
"a big tall tree and a short piece of rope"

@dieselpwr, I wouldn't go so far as that, but they should be held accountable.
@panther89, it is not surprising that they would do something like that considering they lost their best chance to take our gun rights away until they can take the house and senate all at once.

All in all I am unsurprised they threw this rider on the budget, they do things like this all the time. It seems to be a common practice to get what they want.
