In a stunningly clever move, president Barack Obama, speaking from Mexico, announced support for an international firearms treaty that could have far-reaching effects on U.S. gun ownership -- without needing to pass legislation and deal with normal congressional representation. See item #1 in Page Nine below. If ratified by the Senate, the treaty, which is already written, would become law and supercede even the U.S. Constitution, as specified in the Constitution itself (Art. VI).

I have obtained a copy of the 4,078-word treaty and have begun to study it; it has numerous conditions whose effects are unclear and could depend in large measure on how they are interpreted and applied. It appears that the conditions will require binding regulations to implement, which would be written by faceless bureaucrats and be relatively immune to legislative process or full public review. As soon as possible I will be releasing an analysis of the Inter-American Convention Against The Illicit Manufacturing Of And Trafficking In Firearms, Ammunition, Explosives, And Other Related Materials, which you can download here: http://www.oas.org/juridico/English/treaties/a-63.html

This opening requirement could presumably be fulfilled in almost any way, to satisfy an anti-rights interpretation of the treaty: "Art. IV, 1. States Parties that have not yet done so shall adopt the necessary legislative or other measures to establish as criminal offenses under their domestic law the illicit manufacturing of and trafficking in firearms, ammunition, explosives, and other related materials." "Trafficking" is not explicitly limited by "illicit" and could mean almost anything.

Here is the note that I sent to Mr. Mark Warner and Mr. Jim Webb, our representatives in the US Senate. Their contact information is also below. Please feel free to use the text below in any way you deem necessary in order to get your own point across. Don't hesitate to contact our senators today!

Email Senator Mark Warner
Email Senator Jim Webb

Mr. Warner,

Please do not advocate or vote to allow the US to enter into the treaty that President Obama touted in Mexico. The treaty, "Inter-American Convention Against The Illicit Manufacturing Of And Trafficking In Firearms, Ammunition, Explosives, And Other Related Materials" will have profound effects upon gun ownership in the United States and seeks to circumvent our Second Amendment rights under the Constitution of the United States.

Please do not allow the international community to become involved in delineating our rights as United States citizens. There are many ways to address the issue of guns crossing the Mexican/American border, and curtailing the rights of our citizenry is not the way to do it.

Please vote NO on the adoption of this treaty.

Thank you for your time,
Rick Sandlin
