This interview was <a href=\"http:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.blogspot.com\/2012\/07\/lapierre-addresses-arms-trade-treaty.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">after Wayne LaPierre spoke to the delegates of the ATT talks<\/a> and presented the NRA&#8217;s position.<\/p>\n<p>Chris made some good points in this interview. Perhaps the best was when he said&nbsp;that &#8220;our freedoms shouldn&#8217;t be dumbed down to an international standard; the truth is that international standards need to be brought up to United States (levels).&#8221; Given that the ATT has countries like Iran in a leadership role I don&#8217;t see this happening. That said, Chris is correct.<\/p>\n<p>Another important point that Chris made was that treaties hang around forever until such time as there is a President and Senate willing to ratify it. Unlike a bill passed in one house of Congress that dies at the end of that Congressional session if the other house doesn&#8217;t pass it, an international treaty hangs around like a Zombie.<\/p>\n<div style=\"margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;\" class=\"sharethis-inline-share-buttons\" ><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ginny Simone of NRA News interviewed Chris Cox, head of the NRA-ILA, about the UN&#8217;s Arms Trade Treaty yesterday.&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"iawp_total_views":1,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[1924,90,1863,92],"class_list":["post-3129","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized","tag-arms-trade-treaty","tag-chris-cox","tag-nra-news","tag-nra-ila"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3129","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=3129"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3129\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":8173,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3129\/revisions\/8173"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=3129"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=3129"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=3129"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
