Former Georgia congressman Bob Barr says international gun controllers "are now on the brink of success." He's referring to the Arms Trade Treaty endorsed earlier this month by Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.

"It was not always thus," Barr writes. From “'Perfect Storm' For UN Gun Control Agenda":

In one of his first public addresses after being sworn in as undersecretary, [John] Bolton delivered the opening statement for the United States at the UN arms conference on July 9, 2001. His blunt words shocked many of the delegates present. The message he delivered made crystal clear, with reference to our constitutionally-guaranteed “right to keep and bear arms,” that the US would not be a party to any international effort that would directly or indirectly infringe that fundamental right.

We know what has changed:

We have a president, a secretary of state, and an undersecretary philosophically in synch with the UN... Clinton made not even passing or indirect reference to the Constitution, much less the Second Amendment; a position so clearly and forcefully employed by Bolton when defending our interests against the international “community.”

And what does "in synch with the UN" mean?

What do you think it means?
