I also fully support US Senate Bill 2205, which prohibits the US from funding any UN Arms Trade Treaty that restricts our 2nd Amendment rights. Furthermore, I support the national Right-to-Carry reciprocity legislation, which would recognize a person's right to carry a firearm while traveling throughout the US if a person is licensed to carry a firearm by any state.

Increasing government restrictions and regulations on gun-owners infringes upon innocent citizens' rights to self-protection and constitutes a waste of limited government resources, since criminals obtain firearms without complying with such requirements.
