Sen. Tim Kaine CAUGHT SUPPORTING UN SMALL ARMS TREATY

Tim Kaine, (D-uh) VA

VARIGHT

I, like eleven million other people, get the daily email from the Virginia Citizen’s Defense League (VCDL) and while I am not sure I totally agree with them on gun rights, they have useful information.

Today we have, courtesy of the VCDL, a Senator, our US Senator, Tim Kaine, who seems like the kind of person you could enjoy a sweet tea with but who said this in the Fredericksburg newspaper (here’s the link)  Warning:  Not to be read on a weak stomach:

Kaine: Treaty doesn't infringe on gun rights 
April 30, 2014

Carl Grenn Sr. of Fredericksburg recently wrote a letter, 
published elsewhere, challenging a vote I cast related to the 
United Nations Arms Trade Treaty.

While the U.S. Senate has yet to vote on ratification of the 
international treaty, on April 2, 2013, I voted against an amendment 
to the Senate budget that would have prevented the Senate from 
considering the measure altogether.

The treaty, which in no way affects our Second Amendment rights or 
domestic gun sales, establishes common, worldwide guidelines to keep 
weapons out of the hands of human rights abusers and criminals who fuel 
violent conflicts around the world, like in Iraq or Afghanistan.

Plainly speaking, the treaty attempts to create an international 
standard for weapons sales that matches our own existing U.S. standards, 
which are the best in the world.

  1. “The treaty…establishes common, worldwide guidelines to keep weapons out of the hands of human rights abusers…”

    In other words, if you don’t agree with homosexuality, Islam, abortion, etc., you can’t own a gun. Sounds fair to me! NOT!!

  2. “As a gun owner and strong believer in Second Amendment rights…

    Don’t they all seem to say this, as if they’re a staunch member of the NRA?

    What a bunch of shit.

  3. I look forward to the day that the United States exits the United Nations, and the United Nations exits the United States. Buh By, don’t let door hit you on the way out!

  4. Mark Levin, a Virginia resident, was lamenting the horrific state of U.S. senators since their election was changed from state-legislature appointment to the popular vote.

    He singled out Timmy Kaine and Mark Warner as having zero interest in the well-being of Virginians. “They’re professional politicians.”
