Trump heeds NRA, pulls U.S. out of U.N. arms treaty

[Madmallard]

President Donald Trump on Friday announced at the National Rifle Association's annual meeting that the United States will drop out of an international arms treaty signed in 2013 by then-President Barack Obama but opposed by the NRA and other conservative groups.

Trump told members of the gun lobby that he intends to revoke the status of the United States as a signatory of the Arms Trade Treaty, which was never ratified by the U.S. Senate.

"We're taking our signature back," Trump said to thousands of cheering attendees, many wearing red hats emblazoned with the Republican president's "Make America Great Again" slogan.

We should withdraw from the UN completely, de-fund it and kick it off our soil.

Too bad it will all revert in 2024.

This, like so much in Washington, is a nothing burger.

The Treaty was never ratified in the Senate. All he really did was remove the signature on a piece of paper.

Good for him, I just wish he would do something realy substantial for the gun community.

He did. He banned bump stocks.

I never cared about bump stocks. I don't care if they are legal or not. So many people were in an uproar over a piece of plastic. Whatever. This is not the kind of legislation/executive order that does anything, good or bad, for gun owners.

I want to see him to something spectacular for the 2A.

I don't care about them either, but the action taken speaks volumes IMO.
