Especially see below where it says: "may need to be regulated"
The IPU has permanent observer status at the United Nations:
THE ROLE OF PARLIAMENTS IN STRENGTHENING CONTROL OF TRAFFICKING IN SMALL ARMS AND LIGHT WEAPONS AND THEIR AMMUNITION
Resolution adopted by consensus* by the 114th Assembly (Nairobi, 12 May 2006)
The 114th Assembly of the Inter-Parliamentary Union,
Deeply concerned by the tremendous human suffering, especially for women and children, who are the most vulnerable in armed conflicts, associated with the proliferation and misuse of small arms and light weapons (SALW),
Stressing that, by definition, SALW include all arms that can be used by one person alone and all associated ammunition, including grenades, rockets, missiles, mortar shells and man-portable air defence systems (MANPADS), and that landmines can be considered as having similar effects,
Recalling that items such as daggers, machetes, clubs, spears, and bows and arrows are also frequently used in armed conflicts and criminal acts, and that, although they do not fall under the SALW category, their use may need to be regulated,

If the UN treaty goes through, I am perfectly willing to join any self-regulated army that will go to war with the United Nations.
I can't march very far, but I can shoot straight and I have communications and hacking skills to offer.
Why didn’t we think of it before! The UN could ban trafficking in humans generally, young women exploited as sex slaves, drugs, endangered species parts, etc., and these evils will magically end. (U)tter (N)onsense.
They are also almost childishly easy to make from scratch using the most basic of machine tools. What are they gonna do....outlaw every lathe and mill in the world? Good luck with your world economy if you do that! Ooooh! Oooh! I know....how about killing or imprisoning everyone who has the knowledge of how to make guns using machine tools? Dang!....there goes that world economy again.
These people aren't just asshats. They're STUPID asshats.
Just get it over with. Ban all ‘humans’. I guess in a way, they are.
Without self-respect, freedom, one tends to die quicker.
US out of the UN, UN off US soil!
