Breitbart.com<\/a> is reporting today that President Obama<\/a> will sign the United Nations<\/a> Arms Trade Treaty<\/a> (ATT) on June 3.<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

This treaty is ostensibly aimed at putting an end to gun trafficking across international boundaries, and both Breitbart News and the NRA<\/a> have argued that it will eventually require an international gun registry in order to be enforceable.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

The ATT also provides the executive branch of our government with broad powers for controlling which guns do and don’t come into the country, and includes\u00a0ambiguous language<\/a>\u00a0that a gun-control-friendly administration can use to its advantage.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Even though Obama will sign this treaty, it is not enforceable in the U.S. until the Senate<\/a> ratifies it by a two-thirds majority.<\/strong><\/p>\n

America is one of the few functioning republics in the world. Part of our freedom rests on the citizens’ ability to own guns under the Second Amendment of the United States<\/a> Constitution, which states:<\/p>\n

A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms<\/a>, shall not be infringed.<\/strong><\/p>\n

If Americans choose to retain their freedom, they need to speak out against those bills and treaties<\/a> that work against the Constitution. Since President Obama was not able to push gun control legislature through Congress<\/a>, he is doing an end run around Congress via this United Nations treaty. Please call your Senator and tell him (or her) not to support this treaty–it will not stop international arms trade–it will only take guns away from law-abiding Americans.<\/p>\n
