Thank
you for your inquiry.
Contrary to a widely circulated
e-mail, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has not signed any UN small
arms
treaty. She could not have done so, in fact, because no such treaty has
yet been negotiated.
As we
noted in the item below from last November, the UN Arms Trade Treaty
will be
drafted between now and 2012, and even if signed would not take effect
in the
U.S. until the Senate ratified it.

Please
rest assured that, as we said in November, NRA will be actively involved
in this
process and will oppose any treaty that would attempt to impose limits
on our
Second Amendment rights. In the meantime, we urge gun owners to
follow this issue in NRA’s magazines and NRA-ILA’s Grassroots Alerts.
We
also urge gun owners not to circulate misinformation on this
issue.
Again,
thank you for your inquiry and please do not hesitate to
share any of your thoughts or concerns in the
future.
Sincerely,
Kyle C
NRA-ILA Grassroots
