A few days ago, we reported about Texas attempting to pass a bill that would void any law passed by the Federal Government in regards to gun control laws.
This is the reason that bill is so needed not only in Texas, but in every state.
The U.N. Arms Trade Treaty is set to take effect on Christmas Eve.
Though the United States delegation to the U.N. has supported the treaty, it has very little chance of being ratified by two-thirds of the Senate.
But there is still reason for concern, said Catherine Mortensen, spokeswoman for the National Rifle Association.

“We are worried about an end-run around Congress,” Mortensen told TheBlaze. “Barack Obama or a future anti-gun president could use ATT and international norms compliance to rationalize enacting gun control policies through executive actions, especially in the import and export realms.”“Even now, with an existing appropriations rider prohibiting action to implement the treaty unless it is approved by Congress, administration officials are publicly professing support for international efforts to bring the treaty into effect. That’s outrageous,” she added.
The U.N. General Assembly adopted the treaty in April 2013 with a vote of 154 to 3.
The State Department points out that only Iran, Syria and North Korea opposed it.
