Rumor Control: Is the UN Small Arms Treaty a Threat to The United States 2nd Amendment Rights?
For over 15 years, the NRA has been warning us about a global anti-gun treaty and in July 2012, the United Nations is meeting to write such a treaty. The idea of an international arms control treaty between the members or States of the United Nations came from a group of Nobel Peace prizewinners in 2003. The group was led by Oscar Arias Sanchez former president of Costa Rica and 1987 Nobel Peace Prize winner. On December 6, 2006, the U.N. adopted the resolution towards an Arms Trade Treaty calling it 61/89. Resolution 61/89 is the UN’s official recognition that there is a lack of regulated control of international weapons transfers. The U.N. Secretary-General released a report questioning the feasibility of a global Arms Trade Treaty.
