Point 8 of the Preamble of the Declaration of the UN Arms Trade Treaty?
That is where the stink starts. Because the Treaty only references the “Guidelines” of United Nations Disarmament Commission.
Yeah, there really is a Disarmament Commission.

Pull it up.
Right there is a video proclaiming the wonders of . . . UN Conference on the Arms Trade Treaty, 2-27 July 2012 New York!
The links under “Conventional Arms” include one directly to the New York Conference and one on “Small Arms.”
Go to “Small Arms.”

Scroll down a bit to the “you are ska-rood” part. You will know it when you see it.
Small arms and the UN...
“Governments have a responsibility to ensure public safety and they have an interest in providing human security and development to their citizens. So they should ensure that small arms from Government stocks or from private ownership are not misused and do not enter illicit circuits, where their use may contribute to instability and to exacerbating poverty.”
“or from private ownership” Yep, YOU.
Then it is back-linked to guess what?
The Treaty’s Programme of Action on small arms which is ALL of the control, reporting, infrastructure and point of contact language in the pdf files linked above.
“To attain those goals, within the UN, countries have agreed on several commitments on small arms control: the Firearms Protocol, the Programme of Action on small arms - including an Instrument on marking and tracing - and the Basic Principles on the Use of Force and Firearms by Law Enforcement Officials.”

It is also where we find this steaming pile...
Marking and tracing
“If national law enforcement officials were able to trace small arms back to their last legitimate owner, who might then be held accountable, “
What does THAT remind you of? Universal background checks that create a national registry of guns.
How about that!
And that’s right bud, this means tracing it back to and holding accountable... YOU.
No matter where that firearm turns up or how long ago you sold it.
And once jugears signs the treaty does anyone actually believe he will not declare all this legal and applicable to American Citizens?

“Governments have a responsibility to ensure public safety and they have an interest in providing human security and development to their citizens. So they should ensure that small arms from Government stocks or from private ownership are not misused and do not enter illicit circuits, where their use may contribute to instability and to exacerbating poverty.”
“or from private ownership” Yep, YOU.
I couldn't care less if MY NAME, ADDRESS, AND SS# were printed in the G@d damned treaty...THE ANSWER IS NO.
