By Mark Anderson The United Nations Arms Trade Treaty (ATT), which the National Association for Gun Rights (NAGR) has described as “the gun control lobby’s crown jewel for decades,” entered into force five years ago this coming December. While the U.S. signed the treaty under President Barack Obama, the pact—which includes provisions for regulating small arms like those used by civilians and police officers—never received the Senate ratification that the Constitution requires for all treaties. Enter Senate Resolution (S. Res.) 204, introduced by Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) with minimal fanfare on May 13. S.Res. 204 would prevent ratification by transferring the treaty back to the White House where President Donald Trump could deactivate it. If, on the other hand, the treaty is not returned, it will remain in the Senate and could come up for a ratification vote at any time.
