The National Association for Gun Rights (NAGR) launches campaign to prevent vote on arms treaty

A national gun rights group with ties to Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) has launched an all-out campaign to block a Senate vote ratifying an international arms trade treaty. 
The National Association for Gun Rights (NAGR)says the treaty would force federal authorities to keep a national registry of gun owners in the country and is one step closer to the government coming to confiscate firearms from lawful Americans. 
“And it’s not just our federal government that would get a copy [of the registry],” NAGR vice president Dudley Brown wrote to members in a recent email.
“International bureaucrats at the United Nations and foreign governments would have access to the registry as well!” he wrote. “You and I both know registration is the first step toward outright confiscation.” 
The group has begun pressing gun owners and advocates to “swamp” and “overwhelm” their senators with “millions” of petitions opposing the treaty that it plans on delivering to the upper chamber. (Link is Mine)
