The criminals will always have guns because they DON'T OBEY THE LAWS. That's why they are criminals. It just means the rest of us will be defenseless
We Civilians shouldn't possess guns . There are cops to protect us from Criminals . We cannot take law into our own hand .

Took it directly from the title of the article in the SacramentoBee website.
Not spinning this.
Like I said. I didn't believe it at first.

Are you talking about that constitution nonsense? You must not have gotten the memo about it's death spiral. It has been circling the drain for some time, now with nothing to lose watch the unconstitutional agreements and executive orders fly.
I agree with posters who say that would be call to a bloody civil war... Once they start attacking possession of guns rights, believe me they are gonna have some problems, too many people would get really ticked and take their guns right to the WH and I dont mean to turn them in.

Could it be that the reason you did not include any relevant links is because the UN measure Obama supports is not a ban on gun ownership, but a measure designed to control the illegal trade in weapons to militants and terrorists? It would not have any effect on domestic firearm possession, but would make it illegal for, say, Russia, to sell military equipment to pirates in Somalia:

The Constitution of the United States of America makes yours licit. Got a problem with that?
I have no problem at all with it, why?
I'm just saying that the defence 'they're only after illegal guns' doesn't hold a lot of weight when the same people get to decide which guns are legal.

They won't come and take them away, they'll make people not even want them. And that should be more terrifying.
My opinion of course might be wrong.

And in this country, you get to decide who decides that. That's why we have elections.
Article 9 Brokering Each State Party shall take the appropriate measures, within national laws and regulations, to control brokering taking place under its jurisdiction for conventional arms within the scope of this Treaty.
I think that people will want them, they just won't be able to afford them.
