ALERT URGENT: UN SMALL ARMS TREATY INCHING TOWARD REALITY

Subject: ALERT URGENT: UN SMALL ARMS TREATY INCHING TOWARD REALITY

PEOPLE GET ALL OVER THIS. We CANNOT allow this Treaty to be ratified. Call your Senators. They ratify Treaties…..the House has no say when it comes to Treaties. SPREAD the word far and wide. Hit them HARD. This Treaty WILL disarm America of more than our guns. DEMAND that your Senator not vote for this Treaty (or any UN Treaty) This is why the Senate is so critical in 2014. If the Democrats take the House and pick up more seats in the Senate you will see Obama move forward at lightning speed. He has boots on the ground already working on 2014, and has for months.

Subj: UN SMALL ARMS TREATY INCHING TOWARD REALITY

While everyone was focused on domestic government violations of the second amendment, last Friday, Mr. Obama expressed his willingness to sign the UN's Small Arms Treaty. His timing is appropriate since the UN opened negotiations in New York on Monday. Let your Senator know you do not support the Small Arms Treaty.

NRA OPPOSES UN ARMS TREATY

The National Rifle Association, which is battling a raft of gun control measures on Capitol Hill, also has an international fight on its hand as it gears up to oppose a U.N. treaty designed to restrict the flow of arms to conflict zones.

Negotiations open Monday in New York on the Arms Trade Treaty, which would require countries to determine whether weapons they sell would be used to commit serious human rights violations, terrorism or transnational organized crime.

The gun lobby fears that the treaty would be used to regulate civilian weapons. Human rights activists counter that it would reduce the trafficking of weapons, including small arms such as the ubiquitous AK-47 assault rifle, to outlaw regimes and rebel groups engaged in atrocities against civilian populations.

“This treaty is a common-sense alignment of the interests of governments, law-abiding citizens and individuals all over the world, who deserve the right to live free from harm,” said Michelle A. Ringuette, chief of campaigns and programs at Amnesty International USA. “Any step toward restraining the illicit sale and transfer of weapons used to commit horrific crimes is a good move forward, and the world could use a lot more steps in the direction of ending human rights abuses.”

The Obama administration, which has wavered on the treaty, signaled Friday that it was willing to support the accord. “The United States is steadfast in its commitment to achieve a strong and effective Arms Trade Treaty that helps address the adverse effects of the international arms trade on global peace and stability,” Secretary of State John F. Kerry said in a statement. “We will not support any treaty that would be inconsistent with U.S. law and the rights of American citizens under our Constitution, including the Second Amendment.” Read full story.
