NRA Encourages United States Senate to Defend Second Amendment

FAIRFAX, Va. --(Ammoland.com)- The United Nations, with the support of the United States of America, recently voted in the General Assembly, to adopt an Arms Trade Treaty.

“This treaty disregards the Second Amendment to our Constitution and threatens individual firearm ownership with an evasive registration scheme,” said Chris W. Cox, executive director of the NRA’s Institute for Legislative Action. “It is a sad, yet telling, day when the President of the United States and his administration refuse to defend America’s Constitution on the world stage.”

With a passing yet non-binding acknowledgement of individual rights in the preamble, the treaty itself threatens civilian firearm ownership. The NRA has always maintained that any Arms Trade Treaty must respect the Second Amendment right of individual self-defense. This can only be accomplished by expressly excluding civilian firearms ownership from its scope, which this treaty fails to do.

Notably, the ATT includes “small arms and light weapons” among its terms, which cover firearms owned by law-abiding citizens. Further, the treaty’s text urges record-keeping of end users, directing importing countries to provide information to an exporting country regarding arms transfers, including “end use or end user documentation” for a “minimum of ten years.” Each state is to “take measures, pursuant to its national laws, to regulate brokering taking place under its jurisdiction for conventional arms.”

Data kept on the end users of imported firearms would result in a registry of law-abiding firearms owners in this country, which based on the language of this treaty, could be available to foreign governments.

On March 23 2013, the Senate adopted an amendment to its FY 2014 Budget Resolution offered by Sen. James Inhofe (R-OK) that establishes a deficit-neutral fund for “the purpose of preventing the United States from entering into the United Nations Arms Trade Treaty.” This effort is in addition to the campaign led by Sen. Jerry Moran (R-KS) and Rep. Mike Kelly (R-PA) to pass concurrent resolutions opposing the treaty.

“We thank Senator Moran, Senator Inhofe, and Representative Kelly for leading the effort to reject ratification of this misguided treaty,” concluded Cox.

Talking to most of the Democratic Senators is like talking to the communists. If they can get rid of guns in our hands they can finish the job of dictator King Obama.

I can’t visit Ammoland.com. It says it is a malware site. The warning came from Google, not my virus checker. I clicked to go there anyway, and it still wouldn’t let me.

Now that is a first!.

I would say you better check out Google. I have never heard of any problem with that web site.

However, safety first. Ask someone you trust about any site(s) that have been flag / posted with any type of “Warning”

Just checked it again and it's blocked again.

It says....

This site contains Malware!

Google Chrome has blocked access to www.ammoland.com for now.

Even if you have visited this site in the past, visiting it now will likely infect your computer with malware.

Malware is malicious software that causes things like identity theft, financial loss, and permanent file deletion.

I use AVG for protection so this is something from Google. What I'm wondering is if Google is doing Obama's work for him. They do it for the Chinese.

That can be true, or Google is only triping over “code”
I'm just not sure, My protection had not reported any problems, however it will only report/stop on a “bad” article not the web site.

I got this when I went through Goolge to “ammoLand”. I think the last line may be the real issue. That may be common to some/most web sites. Or not, just not my field, I will ask some of the Info.Tech.s and see if they have an opinion.
