The left camouflages what their end goals are with gun control but every once in a while, someone admits the truth. New York Times’ Josh Barro did when he told an MSNBC panel – in response to a question about Hillary Clinton’s gun control plans – that what would have to be implemented is a “massive” gun confiscation, but people realize that even though it would be a “positive change”, it would be a “sea change”.
“It’s what I would expect a Democratic presidential candidate to say. But if Hillary Clinton becomes president, she’ll be a president facing a Republican House at least, possibly also a Republican Senate.

Obama Tries to Get Arms Trade Treaty Ratified as a Parting Shot

I reiterate my strong opposition and will work with my colleagues to protect the rights of Americans.”
Toronto, Canada – Activists in the Canadian province of Ontario have staged a protest at the site of a transport company they say is involved in transporting Canadian-made, light armoured vehicles (LAVs) to Saudi Arabia.
Approximately 30 demonstrators blocked Paddock Transport International trucks in Hamilton, a city about 70km west of Toronto, for a few hours on Monday as part of a global day of action against the ongoing war in Yemen.
The conflict broke out in late 2014 when Yemen’s Houthi rebels seized much of the country, prompting Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates to assemble a Western-backed military coalition to try to restore the government of President Abd-Rabbu Mansour Hadi.
US President Joe Biden's proposal to extend the last remaining nuclear arms control treaty between the United States and Russia was welcomed by the Kremlin on Friday, with the caveat that it could only welcome the political will to extend the document, as the details of the proposal were not yet known.
