Teeth of the Constitution

"A well regulated Militia being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms shall not be infringed."

The Second Amendment is arguably the most important: it is the "teeth" of our Constitution.

As Thomas Jefferson said, "The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government."

    Bill Proposed in Senate to Keep the UN from Destroying our Second Amendment

    Gun Owners of America reports that Senator David Vitter (R-LA) has introduced a bill that would block the UN from implementing gun control measures in the US. In addition, it would reportedly prohibit any U.S. funding to the UN unless the President certifies that the world body "has not taken action to restrict, attempt to restrict or otherwise adversely infringe upon the rights of individuals in the United States to possess a firearm or ammunition"."

    Apparently this bill is still in a draft stage, and I haven't seen the entire text, just what the GOA reports in the link above.

    Nonetheless, given that all Senators take an oath to uphold our Constitution, I would expect all 100 Senators to back this bill.

    The UN needs to be sent the message that meddling in our Constitution will not be tolerated. Call your Senators Monday morning and urge them to sign on to this bill. If they don't want to, then demand to know how they can put the UN above our Constitution.

    All you Wisconsinites out there remember - when you call Feingold's office, remind him that he campainged as a "pro-gun"candidate (which he definately isn't). Kohl's not pro-gun either, and he comes up for election next year I believe. Might want to remind him of that too.
