The Senate secured the 50 signatures needed to prevent the United Nations Arms Trade Treaty (ATT) – a document signed by State Secretary John Kerry that threatens Second Amendment rights of American citizens – from taking effect. “The letter, with its 50 signatories, ends any prospect in the foreseeable future of Senate ratification of the ATT,” The Heritage Foundation notes. Senator Mark Kirk (R-IL) was the lone Republican who rejected the pledge – hardly surprising considering the state he resides in. We applaud the Senate for disavowing this legislation.
