Dear Mr. XXXXXX:

Thank you for sharing your concerns about gun control and the ongoing talks at the United Nations (UN) about a possible treaty to regulate the illicit trade in small arms. I support the constitutional right to bear arms. I grew up on a ranch in the Florida countryside and have hunted since I was a boy.


The UN is planning on its Arms Trade Treaty being finalized in 2012. Secretary of State Clinton said that the U.S. would participate in these negotiations in order to prevent terrorist groups and insurgents from receiving illicit arms. As with all treaties, the U.S. Senate must vote ratify any treaty signed by the Executive Branch. I would never vote in support of a treaty that would impact the right to bear arms or require regulation of domestic sales of arms. You can be sure that I will keep your thoughts in mind whenever the Senate considers firearms issues.

Sincerely,
Bill Nelson
