I worry as much as the next guy but...
1. Obama will be gone in November
2. the Senate will turn Republican in November
3. the House will remain Republican

Sleep well tonight

I hope your right, but I know people who are still going to vote for Obama, plus he has being a minority on his side. That fact alone will get him easy votes...

You are far more optimistic than I am. Obama has already bypassed congress on several issues by using his executive orders power and no one is rising up to protest. If any Republican president did the same thing, there would be rioting in the streets. The only rioting going on now is by the thugs supporting him in an attempt to destroy our economic system.

Researchers Paul Gallant, Alan Chwick and Joanne D. Eisen published a report in the Jan. 2012 issue of the Dillion Blue Press where they argued that a “global Arms Trade Treaty will come into force late this year.”

In that report, they make the following predictions:

•    We predict that small arms will be included, because that’s what this treaty is all about in the first place. But ammunition has, at best, a 50-percent chance of inclusion.
•    We predict that a minimal Implementation Support Unit (ISU) will be approved, and will ultimately grow into a global BATFE on steroids.

As far as the willingness of the Obama Administration to accept a treaty, they write:

“As for the US, it might seem confusing that the Obama government has taken a position against the inclusion of SALW [Small Arms and Light Weapons] and ammunition in the forthcoming Treaty. Yet, the US officially supports the inclusion of SALW into the UNROCA [UN Register of Conventional Arms] itself, as clearly stated in October 2011 by Laura E. Kennedy, one of the representatives to the UN.”

New York, NY --(Ammoland.com)- If someone lies to you in order to manipulate you into changing your behavior, you should be very cautious and look for intent.

The Arms Trade Treaty (ATT) proponents have been lying from the outset to get States to jump on the ATT bandwagon.

Just as the push for an Arms Trade Treaty was getting started, a new organization, the Geneva Declaration Organization (GDO)(http://tiny.cc/dbgqo) was created in 2006. The group’s stated goal is the reduction of world violence. But its true goal was to examine, and then exaggerate, the level of global armed violence, and thereby frighten States and their civilian populations into demanding an ATT.

    Arms Trade Treaty proponents vigorously advocated, at every opportunity, the notion that if the instruments of armed violence could be controlled, or even eliminated—especially by a global Arms Trade Treaty—the peoples of the world would be safer.

As is usually the case with weapon-prohibitionist groups, the authors focus on the instrumentality of violence, and ignore the fundamental causes of violence. In order to accomplish this, they use the same tactics that have brought them success in the past. They deliberately confuse “association”—that is, guns are associated with violence, and “causation”—that is, guns cause violence.
