U.S. President Donald Trump signed to an event, the gun lobby organization of the NRA on Friday in Indianapolis in a letter, in which he calls on the Congress to complete the ratification process.
The United States had agreed to the international Treaty during the presidency of Barack Obama as a total of 154 countries, other countries never ratified. 100 countries, according to information from the German Federal foreign office is fully part of the 2013 contract, the deliveries of conventional weapons to restrict borders and regulate.
“Americans live according to American laws, not to laws of other countries,” said Trump. He promised the weapons lobbyists, the conservatives on the US Constitution led right to the possession of weapons not to touch. The National Rifle Association (NRA) has carried according to the channel CNN in the last election in 2016, more than 30 million dollars in donations for the election campaign camp Trumps.
Large weapons suppliers
the main reason for the impending exit of the United States involved was not that of other major Arms exporters, including Russia and China, are also a member of the Treaty. 17 of the 25 largest weapons suppliers are not bound by the agreement, it was said from the White house on Friday.

Add to this that the provisions of the contract in the next year could be currently attracted to the course-stimulating proposals. Also the UK is because of the weapons deliveries to Saudi Arabia under fire.
The Treaty covers, among other things, tanks, heavy artillery, combat aircraft and helicopters, warships, missiles and small arms and light weapons. Before an Export, the Contracting States are obliged, among other things, to check up, whether the weapons “serious violations of international human rights law” committed or facilitated.
Armed teachers in 30 States
Trump also on the Situation of non-military weapons for comments before the NRA-members – because of the high rate of Violence in the United States and more spectacular cases of misuse of Weapons is a much-discussed topic. Murders in big cities had fallen to six percent, he said – without mentioning a comparison period. 30 States have now allowed teachers to carry in class rooms, guns, and a receivable from the Trump after the School attack in Parkland (Florida) with 17 dead.
In the US it’s still coming daily to murders and accidents, with legally purchased firearms. Opponents are calling for, among other things, stricter and more effective controls and better Verification of arms buyers. Still can be purchased in various States of firearms without any Verification and only on presentation of the licence – for example, on arms fairs. (fal/sda)
