Frequently Asked Questions

What is the UN Arms Trade Treaty (ATT) and what are the concerns regarding US gun rights?

The UN Arms Trade Treaty (ATT) is an international agreement aimed at regulating the global trade of conventional arms. Concerns exist that its provisions could lead to international pressure for firearm registration and potentially undermine the Second Amendment rights of US citizens.

The NRA-ILA (Institute for Legislative Action) actively represents the interests of gun owners at international meetings concerning treaties like the ATT. They advocate against measures that could infringe upon Second Amendment rights and provide resources for citizens to contact their representatives.

What actions can citizens take to oppose potential UN gun control measures?

Citizens are urged to contact their senators, both via email and physical mail, to express their opposition to any international treaties that could affect civilian gun ownership. Utilizing resources like the NRA-ILA website can help find contact information for representatives.
