BELLEVUE, WA – The Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear
Arms today applauds the decision by the United States to not sign the
proposed International Arms Trade Treaty, and CCRKBA credits grassroots
action for the gun rights victory.
CCRKBA Chairman Alan Gottlieb, who is at the United Nations in New
York, said the announcement came Friday morning after a week of intense
negotiations.
“I think the grassroots surge by American gun owners against this
treaty convinced our government to not sign this document,” Gottlieb
said. “The proposed treaty, as written, poses serious problems for our
gun rights, and the sovereignty of our Second Amendment.”
CCRKBA has been active in raising public awareness about the
proposed treaty, and Gottlieb said he is proud of members and
supporters who made “stepped up to the plate” and contacted their U.S.
senators.
“This is freedom in action,” Gottlieb stated. “We are gratified that
so many did so much to protect their Second Amendment rights from an
international gun rights grab.
