Texas attorney general: Democrats ‘far more dangerous’ than nuclear-armed Kim Jong Un [View all]

Source: Raw Story

Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott (R) warned Republicans this week that President Barack Obama’s administration and some Democrats in Texas were “far more dangerous” than North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, who has reportedly threatened to blow up Austin with nuclear weapons.

At a Monday meeting of the McLennan County Republican Club in Waco, Abbott said the president would be jeopardizing the Second Amendment rights of Americans if he signed a United Nations arms treaty that is designed to regulate the sell of military weapons like tanks, aircraft, missiles and small arms.

In a letter to the White House earlier this month, the Texas attorney general threatened to sue the federal government if the treaty was ratified.

“We fought a war in 1776 to fight against foreign dictators telling us what to do, not now to turn around and give that power to them,” Abbott said on Monday, according to the Waco Tribune. “That’s why I sent a letter to the president … informing the president that Texas is not going to tolerate this cession of authority to the U.N.”
