1.) Civilians are not permitted to “own, buy, sell, trade or transfer” “[any] means of armed resistance including handguns.”

2.) Also prohibited is the ownership of ammunition/munitions.

3.) All countries participating in the Arms Trade Treaty “shall establish and maintain a National Control System” with a list of all weapons including “their current owners.”

This is not accurate, and none of the language in quotes is actually from the treaty. The treaty is bad, yes, but repeating falsehoods about it doesn't help anyone.

The author seems to quote verbatim from the treaty. Can you provide a link to the treaty or provide a source to show his quotes are not true?

But we all know it’s heading there. He just jumped a step. Consider him a prophet...: )
