Hi all,
(I did a forum search and nothing came up so if this has been previously discussed I apologize)
I went to my Senators website today to right my weekly letter and on the form page one of the preselected letter topics was; CIFTA Treaty Could Ban Reloading And More. I really didn't know what this was so I googled it and found a GOA page outlining the issue.
Please right and/or call your representatives to oppose this treaty.

Here is an excerpt from the link above:
We have seen, as recently as the April 15 New York Times, how battles with the Mexican drug cartels have been fanned into an issue which is being used to justify the passage of every major gun control initiative in modern American history.
We see how these “slippery slope” findings are actually implemented when we look at the definitions:
“Illicit manufacturing” of firearms is defined as “assembly of firearms [or] ammunition... without a license...”
Hence, reloading ammunition -- or putting together a lawful firearm from a kit -- is clearly “illicit manufacturing.” Modifying a firearm in any way would surely be “illicit manufacturing.” And, while it would be a stretch, assembling a firearm after cleaning it could, in any plain reading of the words, come within the screwy definition of “illicit manufacturing.”
