And since firearm imports make up 35% of the overall new firearm market in America, a significant cut here could lead to an all-out buying / hording frenzy on the part of consumers.
Americans like the Second Amendment because phrases like “the right to keep and bear arms” and “shall not be infringed” are not ambiguous. Rather, the amendment clearly bolsters what Americans already know in their consciences–that we have a natural, God-given right to keep and bear arms. It’s a right which the Founding Fathers did their utmost to protect

There are currently some 400 million firearms in civilian hands within the United States. Please explain to me how any force, short of massive extraterrestrial alien intervention, could confiscate even 10% of that number? Buehler? Buehler?

If they restrict the imports, that just means more sales for the domestic OEMs.

Arms Trade Treaty Could Make Guns as Scarce as Ammo
Yup! Just like booze was 'scarce' during Prohibition.

Perhaps we should contemplate just why is it that we tolerate foreign forces to hold meetings on OUR soil for the sole purpose of eviscerating the Second Amendment?
Which is exactly what is going on right now.
Shame on all of us for that travesty.

The ABA is a leftist political organization that has a small minority of America’s lawyers as its membership.

Impeachment would feel good right about now.

ATT could make guns as scarce as ammo
***This makes zero sense. Ammo is far more ubiquitous than guns. Each gun owner might have 1-2 guns and 200 rounds of ammo, for instance.
