Simple ORIGINS of disagreement around the current gun agenda/legislation:

Dialogue Platform for those among us who find themselves wondering why, as a people of 50 United States, we find disagreement around The Current gun agenda/legislation:

Why require some among us to register, but not all? Register for what purposes? Why some purposes, but not others? Is it simply ours ...or has that or the  UNITED NATIONS' AGENDA been incorporated unbeknowst to  us?

Convicted felons (murderers, child molesters, etc) and convicted drunk drivers are in an entirely different class of citizens commonly known as, "offenders."  Communities require these individuals to register their presence in communities because they have been convicted of crimes against communities. Felons cannot buy guns...for a good reason. Proven offenders -even if they may later become various levels of "rehabilitated"- have earned through past practice a record of community trust-breaking. This diminishing of community trust stands in direct contrast to those who maintain safe and trust-worthy community relationships. The latter are commonly known as law-abiding citizens. Law-abiding citizens are permitted to exercise all rights, some of which are later denied to those convicted of crimes that jeopardize our communities. It's an issue of safety and trust.

LAW-ABIDING CITIZENS have a track record of responsible "law-abiding" performance, unless and until they change that track record through performance proven (in our court system) otherwise, and thus convicted.  LAW-ABIDING CITIZENS have the Constitutional right to bear arms...some choose to exercise this right ...some use arms for hunting, some for self/family security...some make their living keeping "others" safe, e.g. celebrities, government officials, banks, stores, government offices, airports, cities, towns, highways, schools. 

In Western society, States consider citizens innocent and trust-worthy until they prove themselves otherwise. No legal system is perfect because human beings are not only not perfect but are very diverse in what matters most in different times, places, and stages of life. Rational thought has served Western civilizations well in our process of  legislating such matters, especially among more educated peoples. Reserving some rights to legislate, as States rights, keeps our nation a REPUBLIC. 

States (even municipalities within each state) legislate (according to their state's allowances) differently, according to progressively more "local" needs. States (exercising their rights) serve as unique laboratories of Liberty living out our Constitutional Amendments. Some states have very strict gun registration laws...and enforce them. States vary considerably on both "variables." For instance, Chicago has (like NY) the strictest gun laws...but fails to enforce them, tolerating the worst illegal gun use and the highest violence rate of all cities - youth identifying with and emulating celebrities who entertain them, gear their music and videos to them,   glorifying violence. 

Chronic psychosis (the other major category ignored) lurks dangerously below the radar of The Gun Agenda, but flies at the top of the list of mass shooters. Due to lobbying by special interest groups (e.g. ACLU, Disabilities) the progressively mentally-ill who used to be hospitalized have been living among us under-supervised, under-treated, living on their own, homeless, or with another (e.g. Adam Lanza's frightened mother).

So that's the bottomline conundrum being plied by our representatives. In God we trust.

AND THE BIGGER PICTURE, MY FRIENDS AND FAMILY: THIS VOTE IN CONGRESS TODAY WAS REALLY ABOUT OUR GIVING AWAY OUR RIGHT TO GOVERN TO THE UNITED NATIONS: 

 Over the weekend, we came four votes away from the United States Senate giving our Constitutional rights over to the United Nations. In a 53-46 vote, the senate narrowly passed a measure that will stop theUnited States from entering into the United Nations Arms Trade Treaty.

The Statement of Purpose from the bill read:

To uphold Second Amendment rights and prevent the United States from entering into the United Nations Arms Trade Treaty. The U.N. Small Arms Treaty, which has been championed by the Obama Administration, would have effectively placed a global ban on the import and export of small firearms. The ban would have affected all private gun owners in the U.S. , and had language that would have implemented an international gun registry on all private guns and ammo.

Astonishingly, 46 of our United States Senators were willing to give away our Constitutional rights to a foreign power. Here are the 46 senators that voted to give your rights to the U.N.

Notice that ALL are either Democrat or "Independent."

Baldwin (D-WI) Baucus (D-MT) Bennet (D-CO) Blumenthal (D-CT) Boxer (D-CA) Brown (D-OH) Cantwell (D-WA) Cardin (D-MD) Carper (D-DE) Casey (D-PA) Coons (D-DE) Cowan (D-MA) Durbin (D-IL) Feinstein (D-CA) Franken (D-MN) Gellibrand (D-NY)

Harkin (D-IA) Hirono (D-HI) Johnson (D-SD) Kaine (D-VA) King (I-ME) Klobuchar (D-MN) Landrieu (D-LA) Leahy (D-VT) Levin (D-MI) McCaskill (D-MO) Menendez (D-NJ) Merkley (D-OR) Mikulski (D-MD) Murphy (D-CT) Murray (D-WA) Nelson (D-FL) People this needs to go viral. These Senators voted to let the UN take our guns. They need to lose the election. We have been betrayed. These 46 Senators Voted to Give your 2nd Amendment Constitutional Rights to the U.N.
