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.

I oppose it as well.
hell yes. No other way! No UN in lives!
I am a soverign individual and no longer accept the dominion of the Feds, the states, or lest of all the UN with respect to any of my natural rights.
The UN may pass what it wishes, it will NOT be approved by 2/3 of senate. Much like Kyoto the resident of the white house or his proxy may sign but it will never be the law of the land.
Count me in... the mere fact that Zero endorses it, makes me oppose it all the more.
Let them try to enforce this if passed. My sense is that those responsible for passing such illegal legislation will be held accountable.
I’m an NRA member but I just oppose the America-hating UN completely.
To All....DO let your elected know where you stand on the United Nations stepping on our Second Amendment and into our Constitution....Please do this by Fax so there is a paper trail. If you do this via e-mail, ask for a reply. Our elected need to understand what it is the American public wants.....the elected can’t know unless you, their constituents, tell them. Get off the dime folks and join the NRA, most American citizens and send a resounding message to the UN...HANDS OFF THE USA’s SECOND AMENDMENT!
When you see "U. N." substitute "Communist."
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 Communist treaty designed to restrict the flow of arms to conflict zones.
These failures can make up anything they like.
It will have no effect on 100 million gun owning, Constitution loving Americans.
We will keep what we have.
The UN may pass what it wishes, it will NOT be approved by 2/3 of senate. Much like Kyoto the resident of the white house or his proxy may sign but it will never be the law of the land.
just in case they do sign it they should decide soon whether to arm the syrian oppo or not.
The UN treaty has a secret, they want to disarm US!
This is true there are not 67 votes in the Senate for this POS treaty and in addition its totally unconstitutional. No treaty can trump the Constitution.
I am the NRA.
