Response From Congressman David Scott

Thank you for contacting me regarding S. 2205, the Second Amendment Sovereignty Act of 2012. I appreciate your thoughts on this issue. I doubt it but it was a nice sentiment.
In the past decade, the United Nations (UN) has attempted multiple times to implement comprehensive treaties or programs to limit illicit arms trade internationally. While the UN has focused significant attention on small arms control, most notably with the 2001 Programme of Action on Small arms, however, none of these efforts have achieved domestic support from the United States. United Nations Arms Control treaties have been proposed to limit the sale, manufacture, and use of illicit small arms internationally. I strongly believe that illicit small arms undermine national and regional security in areas of national interest to the United States such as the Middle East and North Africa as well as Latin America . Proponents of UN regulation of illicit arms assert that these weapons present a direct threat to U.S. personnel abroad I see, its for our own best interest, that is often the broadly accepted attitude at the UN, b*** ***t as well as civilians in other countries. When considering arms control initiatives from a U.S. perspective it is important to balance concerns of violence against U.S. military personnel and citizens abroad and infringement of Second Amendment rights at home.  It is sometimes hard to gauge political statements, but to me that is suggesting that a Constitutionally guaranteed right is subject to international need to limit violence.  Can I ask, how does the right to bear arms affect the unruliness of Muslims in the middle east.
The Second Amendment Sovereignty Act of 2012, S. 2205, seeks to preserve U.S. sovereignty in the protection of Second Amendment rights. The bill would ensure that Congress would not support a UN Arms Control treaty and that no U.S. funds would be expended in connection with the proposed treaty to limit the domestic manufacture, use, transfer, or purchase of small arms and related materials. Senator Moran introduced S. 2205 on March 19, 2012 and it has been referred to the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations. A similar bill , H.R. 5846, was introduced to the House of Representatives on May 18, 2012 and was referred to the House Committee on Foreign Affairs. While I am not a member of this committee, let me emphasize that I will keep your thoughts on this issue in mind as the House continues with its legislative activities.  Thanks for promising to keep my right to bear arms in mind. 
On July 27th , the UN will convene to discuss a new comprehensive treaty to control the movement of small arms internationally. According to Amnesty International, and other supporters of the proposed arms control treaty, roughly 500,000 people are killed worldwide each year by illicit small arms Small arms are only one of the tools used by the sick masochistic dirt bag in third world countries, there certainly have been other effective means like machetes, pipe bombs, poison and starvation. Small arms don't kill people, people kill people.. Critics of the proposed comprehensive treaty argue that monitoring regulations should be different for each country given individual histories of human rights abuses and arms control regulations. Although it is currently unclear whether or not the treaty will pass, you will be pleased to know that such a treaty would have to be ratified in the United States Senate for its regulations to take effect domestically. Ratification by Congress ensures that American sovereignty cannot be overshadowed by UN treaties, especially those that might infringe upon Constitutional rights of American citizens.
Let me emphasize that a careful balance between Second Amendment rights and safety in gun ownership is necessary in crafting any policy toward gun control, and I am sensitive to both sides of the issue. Promising to be sensitive to the international desire to create a submissive American homeland.  I also strongly believe that when considering any international arms control measures, United States sovereignty and rights of American citizens must remain primary considerations. Please rest assured, I will keep your views in mind as the House continues with its legislative agenda. I am glad you did not get a chance to show me your sensitivity.  I am also glad the Hillary Clinton, who was all in for this b*** ***t, has made herself an impossibility replacement for that dip s*** Joe Biden.
Again, I thank you for sharing your views with me. I hope you will continue to give me the benefit of your opinion in the future.

I think that I'm going to get some pistol training.
