This should not have even been a consideration much less a vote.
Thank goodness we had 53 to vote against this time.
I don't know what this country is coming too. I don't know about the rest of the folks on here but I am prepared to die before they get my guns. I know one day they will get enough of these idiots in office too vote this through.
care to elaborate?

I really hope they don't come and take your gums bro.
Only a handful of votes kept this from actually happening? Seriously???
If the OP is talking about the UN small arms treaty he is rattling about very old news. I didn't see any gun legislation do anything today. I could be wrong, but that stuff gets around on forums pretty quick...
Post a link...
Seems a little odd that the NRA wouldn't have anything on their website?

Well dang this phone's auto text really tickles me sometimes. But on a serious note, if you couldn't figure out what I was meaning to type ... Guns
You're sure this was today? I've done a little searching and can't find anything other than from last year.

I have looked also but haven't found nothing on it yet.
Sorry guys 'n gals,
The post I received had yesterdays date on it and I assumed that it was current; however if I had omitted the word Today the statement is still true and still a shame on America's representatives in the Senate.

The said part is 46 senators voted against this......Reading the Snopes article didn't help give me a warm and fuzzy feeling, with all this administrations "transparency" it scares me what they could and would do with a treaty like this.
