Fox News: http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2012/07/...test=latestnewsNew York Times: http://www.nytimes.com/2012/07/28/world/....html?ref=world"Diplomats said the next step was likely to be further negotiations and a vote at the next session of the United Nations General Assembly in a couple of months" "Treaty supporters, led by activist groups such as Amnesty International and Oxfam America, expressed anger at the failure after early bouts of optimism that a draft of the treaty circulated this week would satisfy American concerns, notably its possible infringement on the Second Amendment right to bear arms — an especially delicate issue during a presidential election year in the United States.

Yes, a delicate matter indeed after the latest atrocity.
Spike in gun sales and CC permit applications tell the tale, correct? People want to protect themselves and their loved ones from nutcases whose psychatrists will not inform authorities they are dealing with a dangerous timebomb.

The UN pukes are pushing very hard for this treaty to happen so they can "control" the arms trade. What is laughable is the UN selecting Iran to sit on the ATT council.....isn't the UN trying to keep Iran from producing a nuclear weapon? A nuke would sure as hell kill a lot of innocent people in a hurry. The UN is an incompetent, self-serving lot with a laughable record of correcting atrocities across the world. This was more than an arms regulation treaty....it was a global power grab and they will try again. Thank God for the NRA. There are many gun owners who are not NRA members and they should be. Self-defense is a state right, not an individual right....this is the official position of the UN on self defense. I will never give up my God given right to defend myself and family.

IMO: We dodged a bullet here. NO pun intended. This is why it's so important to get out and vote this November and encourage others to do so as well!

The 2nd Amendment IS an unalienable right.

The New York Times article predicts another vote in a couple of months. What do you want to bet that the next vote comes after the first Tuesday in November?
