First of all it would not be Los Alamos that is violating Article 6 of the NPT, it would be the US. Second, Article 6 is vague enough to make it hard to prove that that a NWS is violating disarmament committments so the US and Russia can merely state the huge level of disarmament that has taken since the Cold War and be in compliance.

In addition, if you claim the US is violating its committment to disarmament due to the funding of the 'mini-nuke' program that has been called a part of maintaining and not increasing the US arsenal.

So although I would like to agree with you on this topic there are arguments from the other side that need to be taken into account. Hence NNWS are always discontent with NWS non-compliance. There are too many loop-holes in the NPT and we need something more comprehensive in many respects, which in this day and age a concensus will be nearly impossible.
