In the eight years since former Congressman Bob Beauprez's last political campaign, he has kept busy authoring a political blog, A Line of Sight, and making the rounds of various conservative talk-show and online media outlets. During the last few years, as we probably don't need to remind our longtime readers, rhetoric from the "Tea Party"-aligned Republican Party has become…strident where the administration of President Barack Obama is concerned.

Here's a clip we were forwarded from a 2012 interview with Beauprez on theDove TV, discussing the implications of that favorite of right-wing "scarelore" stories, the dreaded U.N. Small Arms Treaty. As we've discussed in this space a number of times, the U.N. Small Arms Treaty, intended to regulate international trafficking in small arms, does not pose any threat to the rights of Americans to keep and bear arms.
