Article from Fox News by Adam Shaw.
President Trump announced Friday that his administration is withdrawing the U.S. signature from the U.N. Arms Trade Treaty, in response to concerns from gun rights activists that it could impinge on Americans’ right to bear arms
“Under my administration we will never surrender American sovereignty to anyone, we will never allow foreign bureaucrats to trample on your Second Amendment freedom and that is why my administration will never ratify the U.N. trade treaty,” Trump told an audience at the National Rifle Association’s annual meeting in Indianapolis.
“I am officially announcing today that the United States will be revoking the effect of America’s signature from this badly misguided treaty, we’re taking our signature back,” he said.
Former President Barack Obama signed the treaty in 2013 and sent the treaty to the Senate for ratification. Onstage Friday, Trump signed a notice to the Senate asking it to stop the ratification process and return the treaty to the White House, “where I will dispose of it.”

Great move, Mr President. Answered prayers. Thank you.
May freedom sing and the Bell of Liberty always ring~!
Prosecute all in government who have violated their oaths to the fullest extent of the law!
No way at all should the government of this country have touched that piece of U.N. Garbage with the proverbial 10 foot pole.
Get the U.S. out of the UN and the UN out of America!
