Just wondering how much stock people are putting in this news about the U.N. treaty and gun ownership in the U.S. being affected by it. I did read that 58 Senators were prepared to veto the treaty and not ratify it. Of concern is that fact that there are 100 senators and I would have hoped there would have been a resounding number like 80 that would veto it. That means that 42 members of the Senate would go along, that is quite unsettling to say the least.
