‘A Dangerous Threat’: Texas Attorney General Vows To Fight ‘Unconstitutional’ U.N. Global Arms Treaty
Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott on Tuesday vowed to use every means necessary to fight the “dangerous†United Nations global arms treaty that was overwhelmingly approved by the General Assembly on Tuesday.
Speaking to a group of reporters on a conference call, Abbott warned that the arms treaty “raises a red warning flag to anyone concerned about the liberties guaranteed to all Americans under the United States Constitution.â€
“That flag was raised when the United States agreed to the passage of the United Nations Arm Trade Treaty,†he added. “This treaty is a dangerous threat, not only to Second Amendment rights under the United States Constitution, but also erodes our constitutional liberties by placing more of the control of those liberties in the hands of bureaucrats at the United Nations.â€
Abbott said he sent a letter to the White House on Tuesday urging the Obama administration to take the appropriate action. However, the Texas attorney general expressed doubt that the administration would actually oppose the implementation of the treaty in the U.S. because it announced that it was pleased with the treaty’s passage.
