Letter to the Editor; One step closer to worldwide gun control through UN

To the Editor:

President Obama continued his war on guns recently by having his Secretary of State John Kerry sign the papers to potentially cement an agreement with the U.N. for worldwide gun control. Why in the world would we want anything to do with an organization where we have most countries who are not our friends or allies?

The U.N. has been working for nearly 15 years to force its gun banning Arms Trade Treaty (ATT) on the United States. Now thanks to Mr. Obama, they are closer than ever. Even if we prevent two-thirds majority of the U.S. Senate from ratifying the ATT this year or any future year there is nothing to stop a future senate from ratifying it 50 of more years from now.

The ATT would create an international gun registration system that could pave the way for the full-blown confiscation of firearms owned by American gun owners. Would you want the U.N. to control all the guns?
