we'll they already stopped the import of Garands...I guess we will only be able buy US made from now on. Until they make it impossible for companies here to do business. it's a backdoor attack to get guns out of the everyday citizens hands. It will take time, perhaps a couple more generations but they will be patient and keep working on it.

That article says the treaty is to target is "illicit trade in conventional weapons that benefits terrorists and rogue agents."

Illicit is defined as illegal. Like many other anit-gun laws, this is designed to outlaw illegal sales. Wow! Really? What a revelation!

I want to play this game too.

My Proclamation.
I decree that from this day forward, all illegal activity is hereby outlawed!

This is the point in the movie where one of the much put upon commoners tells the Great Lord making treaties against their liberties. Darn you and the horse the brung ye.

I did not think I could hate a administration more than the Clintons...sadly I was wrong
