US Refuses To Sign Arms Trade Treaty According To CCRKBA
The Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms just sent out a news flash a few minutes ago applauding the United States for its refusal to sign the UN's Arms Trade Treaty. They said the announcement was made in New York this morning.

I did see that Russia is refusing the sign the draft treaty saying they are dissatisfied with it and the draft needs more work.

    BELLEVUE, WA – The Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms today applauds the decision by the United States to not sign the proposed International Arms Trade Treaty, and CCRKBA credits grassroots action for the gun rights victory.

    CCRKBA Chairman Alan Gottlieb, who is at the United Nations in New York, said the announcement came Friday morning after a week of intense negotiations.

    “I think the grassroots surge by American gun owners against this treaty convinced our government to not sign this document,” Gottlieb said. “The proposed treaty, as written, poses serious problems for our gun rights, and the sovereignty of our Second Amendment.”

    CCRKBA has been active in raising public awareness about the proposed treaty, and Gottlieb said he is proud of members and supporters who made “stepped up to the plate” and contacted their U.S. senators.

    “This is freedom in action,” Gottlieb stated. “We are gratified that so many did so much to protect their Second Amendment rights from an international gun rights grab.

Just a thanks to those in the NRA, CCRKBA, that brought light to this, made it a news story, and have pushed the anti-gun worthless U.N. back, until the next time...

Seems during an election year, even Hillary Clinton, "gets it"....plus the over 50+ Senators, from both parties, that raised a middle finger regarding its ratification.

We were never going to sign it.  Our politicians made it know that unless there was a concensus, we wouldn't sign it.  Also, and more importantly, that this treaty would not in any way infringe on national sovereign rights of gun ownership.

It's wonderfully explained in episode 112 of Canadian Reload Radio.

Got an email from the NRA this morning where they seem to claim exclusivity in getting this POS legislation defeated.

GOA, CCRKBA, GOA and others who fought this were not even acknowledged to exist.

Granted, the NRA is the "big dog" in the 2-A Rights fight, but an awful lot of effort went into mobilizing America's gun owners, and not all of it came from the NRA.

FWIW,

What you said.  I can't believe the NRA would be so arrogant as to think this defeat was solely because of them.   

(Does not mean I don't support them.  )

The world's two largest armorers would never sign that treaty.
