I honestly don't know what to say....I knew it was gonna happen.

.....d*mn....

further clarification on some points from the tenn. forums...

Copy of the treaty from the organization responsible for helping to write it. http://www.oas.org/juridico/English/treaties/a-63.html A quote from this Washington Post article stating the Obama administration wanting to ratify the treaty. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/04/16/AR2009041602694.html?hpid=topnews Quote: Obama announced that he will push the U.S. Senate to ratify an inter-American arms-trafficking treaty. If you're too busy to read the entire treaty yourself, here is a good basic overview of the treaty by Gun Laws of America: http://www.gunlaws.com/GunLawUpdate5-CIFTA.htm Here are a couple of highlights... Quote: NONE of the proposed gun controls are likely to pass by themselves through Congress. If the treaty is enacted they don't have to -- they become law when the treaty is ratified. Quote: Top to bottom registration of all firearms, ammunition, ammunition components and other related materials is required if they are "in transit" and records must be kept indefinitely. This vague language, and the requirement to comply are a gun-banner's dream and a rights advocate's nightmare. Quote: Home reloading of ammunition would become illegal and subject to severe sanctions, without government licensing that is undefined and could include almost any conditions, taxes and limitations, including scrupulous inventorying, recordkeeping and unscheduled audit searches of people who reload.

doesn't effect airsoft as much as real steel gun owners here....

If they arent careful, they will have an armed uprising on their hands soon enough. I won't go into a rant about this, but I will say that its completely unconstituional, in every way, shape and form. Why is it that these people are so consumed with taking away our guns? Don't they have something better to do? Like manage two wars, or fix the d*mn economy? These seem like more pertinent issues to me.

Just think about it for a second. No one is going to take our guns. If they can't find it, they can't take it. I've got nothing to worry about.

I knew it was floating around for awhile..So many people think we shoudln't have the right to bear arms.

which is totally ridiculous..although..I DO like Woosh's thinking...

As much as I want to do that, I don't think it would make me any better than them. They are breaking the law by taking them away, but so would I by hiding them. I refuse to stoop to their level. I will rant and scream, write letters, petition, protest, and do just about everything else in my power to stop this from happening that is legal, but I won't become one of them.

I'm with Kwitcher, i called it a while back.....never thought they'd actually massacre our constitutional rights this badly....
