President Donald Trump told the National Rifle Association on Friday he was pulling the United States out of an international arms treaty signed in 2013 by then-President Barack Obama but opposed by the NRA and other conservative groups. Trump told members of the gun lobby at an annual meeting he intends to revoke the status of the United States as a signatory to the Arms Trade Treaty, which was never ratified by the U.S. Senate. “We’re taking our signature back,” Trump said to thousands of cheering attendees, many wearing red hats emblazoned with the Republican president’s “Make America Great Again” slogan.

How about he rescind his Gun Bumpstock instead?

The NRA agreeing with Trump isn’t “Trump heeding the NRA.” No wonder so many people despise the media.

Really Strange

A guy who has lived in New York most of his life and is not associated with hunting or outdoorism, turns out to be a strong defender of the 2nd Amendment...........

while the both Bushes who claimed to be from Texas, rolled over for almost everything.

Never can tell.

That’s why he was hired!

You got one bury it in a pvc container until it runs through the courts if you’re wed to it. Any damn agreement that lets a foreign group screw with the 2A is the plague. Bump stocks are crap compared to BS foreign treaties.

[StoneWall Brigade]

This treaty was never ratified by the Congress it had zero effect or impact whatsoever so I see you’re okay with communist gun grabbing as its a Republican doing it am I right?

[HANG THE EXPENSE]

Winning.

[Equine1952]

No but I’m not an idiot either.

[StoneWall Brigade]

You are if you try to justify it like your doing now

[Equine1952]

Bump stocks are not guns ace. You want a full auto apply for a permit and buy one. Wait for the courts to decide.

[Daaave]

You know Eric and Don jr. are both hunters?

[captain_dave]

They hunt some very big game and very old game.

[Equine1952]

At least they can afford a house with room for a head mount or probably a full mount. It would make a great coat hanger.

[Sacajaweau]

The President went to a Military School.

And his sons are seasoned hunters.

The President is hardly 2nd amendment ignorant.

‘Trump told members of the gun lobby at an annual meeting he intends to revoke the status of the United States as a signatory to the Arms Trade Treaty, which was never ratified by the U.S. Senate.’

Just too help Reuters a bit - we’re not ‘pulling out’ of this treaty, because we were never in it to begin with.

[Equine1952]

We need to stay out of any treaties with anyone that gives them any jurisdictions that invade our autonomy over our citizens. This to me includes the International Court. Our soldiers answer ultimately to no one but US. We should kick the UN off American soil. If they want our people or our guns the can “Come Take Em”. The Trump sons wanted to remove suppressors from the Feds permitted list. Then the asshole in Vegas did his thing and killed the conversation because our limp wrists GOPe wussies wussied out. The 911 terrorists hit the twin towers, to bad they didn’t hit the UN instead. The cover up in Vegas reeks.

I agree with your comments. My actual thrust was that he does not SEEM to be the type that would be a strong second amendment support, while BOTH GWH Bush and GW Bush SHOULD have been strong supporters, yet were wimps on the subject.

I guess that has to do with the old saying, “you can't judge a book by its’ cover.”
