In October 2009, the Obama Administration reversed previous administrations' positions and agreed that the United States would participate in the proposed United Nations Arms Trade Treaty, which is allegedly designed to establish “common international standards for the import, export, and transfer of conventional arms.”
Preliminary committee meetings are now under way at the U.N. in anticipation of a conference in 2012 to finalize the treaty.
The Obama Administration's support for the proposed treaty has riled many Second Amendment advocates and does not sit well with the US Senate.

Second Amendment watchdog groups are alerting gun owners to keep a close eye on the recently created Congressional "Super Committee." Although the special panel's mission is to resolve the government's debt crisis, some fear it may use its unprecedented legislative power to initiate gun control measures.
Kentucky Senator Rand Paul warned in early August that the "'Super Committee' limits the constitutional check of the filibuster by expediting passage of bills with a simple majority. The 'Super Committee' is not precluded from any issue -- including gun control -- therefore the filibuster could be rendered moot."

Often times, finding the best hunting spot means getting as far away from the crowds as possible. These days more and more hunters are doing so by hopping in their all-terrain vehicle or four-wheel drive truck (obviously while keeping on legal trails and off fragile habitat). Hunting and off-roading just seem to go hand in had, after all, we all have our favorite hunting vehicles right?
But it never hurts to brush up on safety practices for off-roading before the season starts, and that's where the Recreational Off-Highway Vehicle Association comes in. Sponsored by Arctic Cat, BRP, Polaris and Yamaha, the association is hosting an online course that covers key driving risks, safe riding practices and proper vehicle operation. [ Read Full Post ]
A 29-year-old man who ignored a closed and posted state forest road and caused substantial damage while breaching a locked gate with his Chevy Blazer 4x4 was sentenced by a Washington state judge to make a public apology and confession on YouTube.
After a six-member District Court jury found Camas, WA resident Rickey Sharratt guilty of misdemeanor destruction of state-owned property earlier this year, a Washington Department of Natural Resources officer came up with the novel idea of filming a video featuring the public lands scofflaw confessing his crime for the viewing public to enjoy. Sentencing Judge James Swanger liked the concept, giving Sharratt a choice between the video or mandatory time on a public service work crew.
