Udall, Bennett voted to give away Second Amendment rights

I would like to follow up on Frank Roger Littles letter published in the letters to the editor in the edition of Dec 26. His letter was right on the mark as far as there are those in this government who never miss an opportunity to cede away some of our freedoms and vital laws, and therefore give control of these laws to others, notably the United Nations.

Little notes that three times in recent months, treaties have been proposed in the U.S. Senate for ratification and in each case the proposals were narrowly defeated. However, Sens. Mark Udall and Michael Bennett voted to give authority and control of some of our laws to outside entities.

Specifically, Senate Bill 139 was passed 53-46. Forty-six senators voted against this: To uphold Second Amendment rights and prevent the United States from entering into the United Nation Arms Trade Treaty. Thats right. Forty-six senators voted to hand over our constitutional rights to the U.N. Among those 46 were both senators from Colorado: Sens. Udall and Bennett.

Sen. Jim Inhofe, R-Okla., offered Amendment 139, which was passed on the 53-46 vote. His amendment contained language to affirm that foreign treaties would not trump the U.S. Constitution.

Sen. Inhofe said from the Senate floor, I want to very briefly read this so nobody over there or over here misunderstands what this amendment does. This is right out of the Amendment. To uphold the Second Amendment rights is one thing. And secondly, prevent the United States from entering into the United Nations arms trade treaties.

If you dont want your representatives in the Senate voting against your Second Amendment rights, we can start to right this boat by voting out Sen. Udall in November.

Idaho Bonner County Adopts Firearm Rights Resolution Posted by George Prentice on Fri, Dec 27, 2013 at 9:47 AM

Officials in Bonner County say they're in agreement with a resolution by the Idaho Republican Party that directs local law enforcement to "prevent federal action that would violate the Second Amendment."

This morning's Bonner County Daily Bee reports that Bonner County commissioners Dec. 24 unanimously adopted a resolution, "calling on the governor and state lawmakers to enhance protections for the right to bear arms."

Commissioners conceded that they can't direct their county sheriff to carry out the board's wishes, so instead they adopted a resolution to ask state lawmakers to enact a statewide statute that "makes it a felony offense for a governmental authority to intentionally and knowingly violate rights protected under the Second Amendment." Thats what weve given here in what we feel is the best manner, which is to kick it up to the state legislature and to the state of Idaho to take appropriate action, said Commissioner Cary Kelly, the boards chairman, according to the Daily Bee.
