[QUOTE="Jones, post: 538227, member: 4805"] If you believe that some secret, convoluted decades long scheme involving foreign treaties and domestic court packing is the quickest and easiest method to take your guns away, you haven't been paying attention. For starters, the US has a habit of ignoring treaties it doesn't feel like complying with, case in point being the UN convention against torture, to which we are a signed party. If Obama was really interested in using foreign treaties to pursue his domestic agenda, he could, right now, have every single republican official who was in any way involved in waterboarding under investigation and/or awaiting trial on charges relating to torture because the UN convention against torture requires him to so. Instead he, and we, are just ignoring it because we don't want to deal with it. The Bush administration didn't need a foreign treaty to strip you of your 4th amenment rights, they just passed a law and took them away. That's how simple it is, and that's what will happen when the government wants to take your guns. There won't be any secret agenda, they will just pass a law and take them away. If I had to guess I would say it is most likely to happen the next time we have any sort of domestic crisis, because when people are scared they give away their freedom to anyone who promises to keep them safe. 9/11 proved that. It won't be a foreign country that comes to get your guns, it will be your local police. [/QUOTE]
