United Nations Arms Treaty

Obama Administration Endorses New U.N. Arms Trade Treaty Negotiations <http://www.nraila.org/news-issues/artic ... tions.aspx>
Just as NRA warned would happen, following the election, the Obama administration has moved forward with its plans to support a United Nations Arms Trade Treaty. On Wednesday November 7, the U.S. Mission to the U.N. made clear its support for renewed ATT negotiations, casting a vote in favor of resolution A/C.1/67/L.11. The resolution calls for a "Final United Nations Conference on the Arms Trade Treaty" to be held in New York City from March 18-28.

Undeterred by the failure of July's U.N. Conference on the ATT, in recent months the global civilian disarmament groups and their patron governments have been working nonstop to revive the treaty. Most visible were the attempts made by participants at the Second Review Conference of the UN Programme of Action on Small Arms and Light Weapons. At the conference, U.N. Secretary General Ban Ki-moon used his time to state, "an arms trade treaty is long overdue… I urge you to redouble efforts to agree on a robust 'ATT' as soon as possible."
Wonder where this will go? This is just one of the reasons we needed to be concerned about the past election.

It's not how many breaths you have taken but how many times it has been taken away!

Has anyone noticed common sense isn't very common anymore.

We all saw this coming. This un treaty is going to hurt our economy even more. We are the #1 supplyer of firearms trade. Its just a way to come after our constitutional right to bear arms. They take our guns away and the we are sitting ducks for invasion. Or another civil war.
