Ok I really hope that TN voters are smart enough to know that the UN Small Arms Treaty did NOT pass regardless of what some GOP wog thinks.
After Tennessean.com wrote a story about the post Monday afternoon, Staats linked to the story from his campaign page and wrote: “So the Tennessean took one of my posts and called it a threat to Barack Obama, which was completely taken out of context. My post from Friday was regarding the fact that the UN Small Arms Treaty, passed last week will undermine our Second Amendment Rights.”
Enough Senators had sent a letter to the State Department in 2011 to keep any such treaty being ratified here. What a dumbass.
