Late last night the anti-American, anti gun ownership United Nations failed again at their covert attempt to reach agreement on an Arms Trade Treaty. This time it was closer to passing than it has ever been as current President Barack Obama and his anti-gun, anti-2nd Amendment Secretary of State Hilary Clinton were trying to get this agreement approved. Had they succeeded it would have given the international community a power that would have superceded the U.S. Constitution, most specifically the American's Right to Bear Arms as guaranteed by the Second Amendment.
I am of the opinion that even though Article 2, Section 2 of the Constitution gives the President the power "by and with the advice and consent of the Senate to make treaties, provided two thirds of the Senators present concur" to me he still would have violated his Oath of Office to uphold the U.S. Constitution he took when he was inaugurated on January 20, 2009 if he had signed the Treaty, as would have the Senator's if at least 67 (or 2/3) agreed by ratifying it.
Thankfully, 51 Senators signed a letter addressed to the President that they would vote against ratifying this unconstitutional treaty if he signed it and it came before the Senate to be ratified. This effort was lead by Kansas Senator Jerry Moran and signed by 50 others.

As an advocate of the 2nd Amendment and the National Rifle Association I wrote a letter to Senator Moran with copies to the other 50 Senators that signed the letter. Through their efforts those of the National Rifle Association and it's four million members the U.N. couldn't get the support required and even if they had a clear message was sent to President Obama and Secretary of State Hilary Clinton that law-abiding citizens and gun owners here in America would fight their efforts to circumvent our Constitutional Rights every step of the way.
Here's a copy of my thank you letter to Senator Moran:

Senator Moran, the purpose of this letter is to thank you for your leadership role in obtaining the support of 50 other Senator colleagues of yours in opposing the U.N. Arms Trade Treaty that signed the letter to President Obama and Secretary of State Hilary Clinton advising them that the American fundamental 2nd Amendment Right was not negotiable and cannot or must not be weakened.
As you can see in the smiling image of my son he was typical of most young Americans. In this picture he had been jet skiing with friends over the July 4th weekend in 1992, just a year before he was murdered. His murder is a prime example of why I joined the NRA and am an outspoken advocate of 2nd Amendment rights allowing gun ownership, his murderer didn’t abide by the Brady Act or any of the other severely restrictive gun laws that were on the books and the law of the land in 1993. His murderer purchased his hand gun he used on the night of July 24, 1993 at a DONUT SHOP! No amount of gun control, UN Arms Trade Treaty’s if one had been in place at the time of his murder could have prevented his death.

The Honorable Senator Jerry Moran

Senate Office BuildingRoom 354
Washington, D.C. 20510
Dear Senator Moran:
The young man you see here as the
watermark of this letterhead is my son Tom A. Myers who was murdered on July
24, 1993 in the Los Angeles suburb of Canoga Park. He was 25 years old t the
time of his murder.
Senator Moran, the purpose of this letter is to thank you for your leadership role in obtaining the support of 50 other Senator colleagues of yours in opposing the U.N. Arms Trade Treaty that signed the letter to President Obama and Secretary of State Hilary Clinton advising them that the American fundamental 2nd Amendment Right was not negotiable and cannot or must not be weakened.
As you can see in the smiling image of my son he was typical of most young Americans. In this picture he had been jet skiing with friends over the July 4th weekend in 1992, just a year before he was murdered.

His murderer purchased his hand gun he used on the night of July 24, 1993 at a DONUT SHOP! No amount of gun control, UN Arms Trade Treaty’s if one had been in place at the time of his murder could have prevented his death.
Senator Moran I am 70 years old now and
a veteran of the US. Army and I am proud to have served my country. However, I
feel that my duty and obligation to protect our cherished constitution and to
serve didn’t end when I completed my enlistment in the Army, which is why I am
vigilant in monitoring the attempts of the people in America and internationally that
would eliminate and diminish those rights.
Thank you again Senator Moran from a
person that is not a resident of Kansas or a constituent but simply as an American.
Please thank your colleagues that
signed your letter as well as I am also enclosing a copy of this letter that
perhaps your staff can give to each of them.
Sincerely yours,
Ralph L. Myers
Bellingham, WA 98226
