As we have for nearly two decades, the NRA will continue to fight against any U.N. treaty that undermines the constitutional rights of American gun owners.

U.S. Senate Stands with NRA in Strongly Opposing U.N Gun Control Efforts

For nearly 20 years, the NRA has worked tirelessly to oppose any United Nations effort to undermine the constitutional rights of law-abiding American gun owners. The latest attempt by the U.N. and global gun banners to eliminate our Second Amendment freedoms is to include civilian arms in the current Arms Trade Treaty (ATT), which will be finalized next year.

In order for any treaty to take effect, however, it must be ratified by two-thirds of the U.S. Senate. To ensure that any ATT that includes civilian arms is dead on arrival in the Senate, the NRA has been working to get as many U.S. Senators as possible to publicly oppose any ATT that includes restrictions on civilian arms.

As of this morning, 51 members-- a majority--of the U.S. Senate have signed letters to President Obama and Secretary of State Clinton saying they will oppose any ATT that includes civilian firearms ownership. These strongly worded letters caution the President and Secretary of State to uphold the Constitution of the United States. As Senator Jerry Moran's letter warns, “(A)s the treaty process continues, we strongly encourage your administration to uphold our constitutional protections of civilian firearms ownership. These freedoms are non-negotiable, and we will oppose ratification of an Arms Trade Treaty presented to the Senate that in any way restricts the rights of law-abiding U.S. citizens to manufacture, assemble, possess, transfer or purchase firearms, ammunition and related items.â€

Start the Damn Impeachment and get rid of Thing 1 and Thing 2

Dont ever... and I mean ever give these radical broke in the heads majority of anything... you seen what they are capible of; you now know how dangerous they are

they arm the shit out of Drug Cartels killing hundreds if not thousands and then do all they can to blame you and take your guns and second amendment away

Ooooh No You Didnt and let the repercussions begin

Fifth, and finally, the underlying philosophy of the Arms Trade Treaty is that transfers to and from governments are presumptively legal, while transfers to non-state actors (such as terrorists and criminals) are, at best, problematic. We agree that sales and transfers to criminals and terrorists are unacceptable, but we will oppose any treaty that places the burden of controlling crime and terrorism on law-abiding Americans, instead of where it belongs: on the culpable member states of the United Nations who have failed to take the necessary steps to block trafficking that is already illegal under existing laws and agreements.


Somehow, weapons that are manufactured under federal license in Pakistan as "hunting arms" end up in the hands of Islamic militia in Africa and Asia who use them on Christian groups.

I know it's a vary complicated problem, so it wouldn't surprise me if there are countries in Africa that want stricter control, as they see their people getting slaughtered.

that means there are 49 in the Senate that preferred the U.N. over the 2nd Amendment

American citizens need to identify who they are and let them justify their job on election day
