Small Arms Treaty can only do harm
Secretary of State Clinton (the Obama administration) has committed the U.S. to supporting the U.N. Small Arms Treaty.
The outcome of this treaty, if adopted by the U.S., will be to ultimately eliminate private firearms ownership by law-abiding citizens and restrict "ownership" of small arms to the government and criminals. (They aren't obeying our laws, anyway, why would they obey this one?)
The inconvenient presence of the Second Amendment will no doubt be brushed aside, as seems to be the current government practice with areas of the Constitution that hinder its agenda.
Please communicate to your senators your opposition to this treaty. It can only harm and weaken the U.S.
