UN Arms Treaty

[BioG8r]

For years I have fealt most laws and rules are made by "Griping Liberals" cleaned up for posting.
It is very true that the squeaky wheel gets the grease.
If we don't proactively "stand and be heard" instead of reactively gripe about it, We will allow others to set rules we in no way agree with.

This isn't news to anyone, yet many will still do nothing for fear of being ridiculed, pointed out or heaven forbid, being put on a LIST!

The common man needs to take charge of our common government so common sense can prevail!
The best way to take charge is to take the lead, start small if you need to. Locally people are not happy, Nationally - not happy, Globally - not happy.

I am afraid of the election this year because of activity on the opposite side and not enough activity on our side!

One of the things I tell students when they question "stupid rules/laws"
I use their vernacular...
Stupid people do stupid things so, stupid rules/laws are created.
Using the time honored and school board approved "legislation against madness" train of thought!

I wish I had the funds to start a Private or Magnet School!!! (yes, I have tried)

[QUOTE]UN states fail to reach global arms trade treaty

By Edith M. Lederer, Associated Press | Jul 27, 2012 11:10 PM
Member states failed to reach agreement Friday on a new U.N. treaty to regulate the multibillion dollar global arms trade, and some diplomats and supporters blamed the United States for triggering the unraveling of the monthlong negotiating conference.

Hopes had been raised that agreement could be reached on a revised treaty text that closed some major loopholes by Friday

Yup yup! The NRA worked hard at this too

U.N. ATT Conference Comes to an Impasse

The Conference on the United Nations Arms Trade Treaty (U.N. ATT) has broken down and will not report a draft treaty to the member nations.

This is a big victory for American gun owners, and the NRA is being widely credited for killing the U.N. ATT.

For nearly 20 years, the NRA has worked tirelessly to warn American gun owners about the United Nations’ efforts to undermine the constitutional rights of law-abiding American gun owners by putting in place international controls on small arms.

NRA became a recognized Non-Governmental Organization (NGO) and has monitored all U.N. activities that could impact on our Second Amendment rights. As a result, NRA Executive Vice President Wayne LaPierre testified before the U.N. (2012 remarks, 2011 remarks) making it clear that the NRA would fight any international treaty that included civilian arms.

NRA worked with our allies in the U.S. Congress and successfully assembled strong bipartisan opposition to any treaty that adversely impacts the Second Amendment. On two occasions NRA was successful in convincing a majority of the U.S. Senate to sign letters to President Obama that made it clear that any treaty that included civilian arms was not going to be ratified by the U.S. Senate.

Yesterday (July 26), Sen. Jerry Moran (R-Kan.) gathered the signatures of 51 Senators on a letter to President Obama and Secretary of State Clinton opposing any treaty that infringes on our rights.
