After Obama win, U.S. backs new U.N. arms treaty talks

First off, I'm not an Obama fan at all and I sure as shit didn't vote for him.

I was actually referring to the fact that from the day he took office, the NRA has been screaming that Count Blackenstein was comin' fer our guns...and if you look at the actual record (as opposed to the record the far-right-wingers invented), you'll see that the administration (as well as the DOJ) hadn't said one word about gun control. Oh, and actual liberals/progressives are pissed at him for not doing so.

Also, you might want to try, you know, actually reading the articles you linked to. The US has not signed on to any treaty. "the United States backed a U.N. committee's call on Wednesday to renew debate over a draft international treaty." Sounds more like diplomats jibber-jabbering for as long as they can milk the free junkets to 5-star resorts.

I think Bhutocracy covered it pretty well:

As always, FOLLOW THE MONEY.
