Washington (CNN)Retired U.S. Army Gen. David Petraeus, who has long resisted calls to run for political office, is teaming up with retired NASA astronaut Mark Kelly to create a new group urging greater gun control. The two announced on Friday that they were launching Veterans Coalition for Common Sense to encourage elected leaders to "do more to prevent gun tragedies." The group will feature veterans from every branch of the military who are urging lawmakers to toughen gun laws, the organization said in a news release.
Why "< 1"? Shouldn't it be just "0", or were there neighborhoods with "negative" homicides?
David Petraeus, 0bama appointed ‘Rat to the core.
Trump should know how you feel about gun elitist gun grabbing traitors in his administration.

International & United Nations Gun Control
NRA has been engaged at the United Nations and elsewhere internationally in response to overreaching small arms initiatives for two decades. During this time, we have been actively opposing transnational efforts that would limit Americans’ Second Amendment freedoms. NRA has been a recognized Non-Governmental Organization at the United Nations since 1996. Our status as an NGO allows us to closely monitor the internal UN debate over firearm issues and report back to our members.
The most pressing international threat to U.S. gun owners is the UN Arms Trade Treaty (ATT). Among its most egregious provisions, the treaty encourages national recordkeeping requirements for “end users” of covered arms (including firearms), and suggests that national governments share such records. Further, the ATT compels countries to make arms import and export decisions based upon a trading partner’s willingness to abide by the treaty’s requirements, which could isolate the United States from legitimate trade in arms or force it to adopt restrictions detrimental to Second Amendment rights. During the drafting phase, NRA vigorously advocated for civilian firearm ownership be removed from the treaty’s scope. Those recommendations were ignored, meaning U.S. firearms policy could become the rest of the world’s business and subject to its approval, on pain of trade restrictions if it doesn’t meet “international norms.”
Secretary of State John Kerry signed the ATT on behalf of the U.S. on September 25, 2013. NRA continues to work with its Senate allies to prevent ratification or implementation of the treaty in the U.S.
Betrayus was always a globalist.
Petraeus = just another Princeton / Ivy League turd
great ass kisser and butt sniffer and NWO stooge...
Truly sickening to think that this jackass was raised to such high position within the army.
He needs to go away permanently. I had great respect for the General until he started spewing the Anti-gun nonsense.
favorite general ping.
Petraeous is convicted of mishandling state secrets. He is barred from holding that office
So we’d go from Clinton mishandling classified docs as SoS, to an SoS who has already mishandled classified docs. Zero chance.
“Shall not be infringed”. If anyone has trouble understanding that, the Second Amendment is self-protecting.
I agree. Really sad to see what has happened to a once great general.
This asshole should not be allowed anywhere near DC. If it were up to me, i’d put hum back in jail.
You miss the point of the Second Amendme t.
Everybody knows the Sergeants run the show and win the wars.
Don Jr. will not permit this.
Yikes!
