The NRA now does foreign policy.
The US has signed a treaty to restrict the international arms trade. Apparently, according to the NRA, the 2nd Amendment applies worldwide.
The United States on Wednesday signed a treaty that seeks to regulate the international trade in conventional arms, but ratification in the Senate remains uncertain because of the strong resistance of gun rights advocates.It is every American's right to sell as many guns to furriners, wogs and other people as they want.
Secretary of State John F. Kerry signed the Arms Trade Treaty in a ceremony at the United Nations, insisting that it would have no effect on Americans' ability to buy weapons and little effect on overseas sales because of U.S. export controls that are already in place.
"We are talking about the kind of export controls that for decades have not diminished one iota our ability in the United States as Americans to exercise our rights under the Constitution," he said.
Despite such arguments, conservatives consider the law a threat to the Second Amendment...
The National Rifle Association issued a statement describing the law's provisions as "blatant attacks on the constitutional rights and liberties of every law-abiding American."
