Posted on October 18, 2013…American gun owners must remain vigilant in ensuring this treaty is never ratified.
In October of 2009, at the U.N. General Assembly, the Obama administration reversed the positions of the two previous administrations and voted for the United States to participate in negotiating the United Nations Arms Trade Treaty.

The Michigan Senate Judiciary Committee on Tuesday unanimously approved legislation that would lift the state’s ban on short-barreled shotguns and rifles.
Short-barreled shotguns and rifles are regulated under federal law and must be registered with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. Buyers are required to go through a background check and pay a $200 tax.
