U.N. Arms Trade Treaty: Before the ink dried….
CONTACT YOUR SENATORS TODAY AND ASK THEM TO OPPOSE THE U.N. ARMS TRADE TREATY
by Jim Shepherd
When Secretary of State John Kerry signed the United Nations Arms Trade Treaty in New York [Wednesday], no one in the industry was really surprised. The administration had made it abundantly clear that with reelection no longer a concern, they were no longer concerned with hiding their pro-UN, anti-gun stance.
Kerry’s signing came after – and despite- a letter from Senator James Inhofe (R-OK) yesterday promised Kerry this treaty would “collect dust alongside the Law of the Sea Treaty, the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, the Kyoto Protocol, to name a few, which have all been rejected by the U.S. Senate and the American people.”
Now the fifty-two other United States Senators who have joined Inhofe in promising to prevent ratification of the treaty will have to stand their ground against an administration that’s no stranger to using strong arm tactics or federal funds (or both) to buy votes.

Obama Administration Signs United Nations Arms Trade Treaty
CONTACT YOUR SENATORS TODAY AND ASK THEM TO OPPOSE THE U.N. ARMS TRADE TREATY
Today, Secretary of State John Kerry signed the United Nations Arms Trade Treaty on behalf of the Obama administration. The National Rifle Association strongly opposes this treaty, which is a clear violation of the Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.
“The Obama administration is once again demonstrating its contempt for our fundamental, individual Right to Keep and Bear Arms,” said Chris W. Cox, executive director of the NRA’s Institute for Legislative Action. “This treaty threatens individual firearm ownership with an invasive registration scheme. The NRA will continue working with the United States Senate to oppose ratification of the ATT.”
