NRA Renews Vow to Oppose U.N. Arms Treaty

HeadlineDec 28, 2012

The National Rifle Association has confirmed plans to continue its campaign against a proposed U.N. treaty that would regulate the global arms trade. The General Assembly voted to reopen negotiations this week after the Obama administration helped stonewall talks in July. Speaking to Reuters, an NRA spokesperson said the massacre in Newtown won’t change the group’s opposition to the treaty, saying: “We’re as opposed to it today as we were when it first appeared.” The NRA says it will mount a campaign against the Obama administration should it bring the treaty up for Senate ratification.
