Hunters Need To Be Wary of Pending UN Gun Ban
You probably have read the emails for months now. Something along the lines of “Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton, has signed on to the UN Gun Ban Treaty and the Obama Administration is preparing to take your weapons”. Fortunately, Mrs. Clinton has not signed such an agreement. Yet. According to the NRA-ILA website, “She could not have done so, in fact, because no such treaty has yet been negotiated”. But, the drafting of the UN treaty is taking place and should be complete by 2012. Furthermore, despite what is sure to be the Obama Administration’s best efforts, the United States Senate must ratify it before it could take effect. Thank goodness it did not get drafted prior to this year’s Massachuesets Senate Race and hopefully by 2012 we will have a more favorable 2nd Amendment climate in Washington DC.
Hunters should remain vigilant though. With recent comments from such “effective” gun-controlling foreign leaders like that of Mexico, outdoors men and women need to keep a close eye on their political representatives. And, by all means, support the efforts of the NRA with not only your pocket book, but your word of mouth as well.
