The Biden administration this week signaled that it is eyeing a United Nations small arms treaty that critics claim will lead to an international gun registration plan — including for individual American gun owners.
Two years after former President Donald Trump withdrew from it, a top arms diplomat at the State Department told the global body that the current administration is swinging behind the Arms Trade Treaty.
“I have come from Washington, D.C., this week to take the floor on the agenda item Treaty Universalization to underscore the continuing commitment of the United States to responsible international trade in conventional arms,” William Malzahn said at the 7th Conference of States Parties to the Arms Trade Treaty.
The United States has long supported strong and effective national controls on the international transfer of conventional arms, and the Arms Trade Treaty is an important tool [for] promoting those controls internationally,” he said according to a transcript provided to Secrets by the lobbying arm of the National Rifle Association.
The NRA has warned that, among many moves, the treaty will require all arms that Americans buy from overseas makers to be tracked. To do that, a global gun registry would be created and maintained for 10 years. Every owner will be listed on that registry.
“This is the first step towards creating a global firearms registry,” said the Second Amendment advocacy group.
“President Biden wants to give foreign bureaucrats control over the rights of law-abiding Americans, and the NRA will fight it every step of the way,” it added today in a Twitter thread.
In his statement, Malzahn said that the administration is reviewing and working to strengthen the “Conventional Arms Transfer Policy” that guides the transfer policy of firearms.
“The new CAT Policy will better frame the intent and priorities of the Biden/Harris administration and formalize the approach of the administration as adopted on arms transfer decisions that have been in effect since President Biden entered the White House in January,” he said, according to the transcript.
“The revised CAT Policy should be finalized shortly and released as a public document. When it is, the United States will then use that policy framework to review specific arms transfer issues, including determining the proper relationship of the United States to the Arms Trade Treaty,” he added.
Like the one they now have in Afghanistan. Biden made sure they are armed to the teeth. Guess he forgot to tell them to be sure and register them.
People better look at what’s happen to Australia since they let the government disarm them before they give up their 2nd Amendment rights to Biden and company.
When guns are outlawed, I will be an Outlaw!!!
Fast and Furious....
>>You have to wonder will the Democrats and RINO’s bring in foreign troops to carry out their gun-ban fantasies?<<
I think that notion is a fantasy, but just saying it is so.
Americans wouldn’t take kindly to it. In fact, I’m pretty certain armed conflict on our soil would break out.
“Treason”? .. It must be Friday! (Or Monday, or Tuesday, or Wednesday, or Thursday, or Saturday, or Sunday)
The US military, National Guard, Police number about 2,500,000 men.
VS.
20,000,000 civilian semi-auto rifle owners, and maybe 75 million other firearm owners, and over 400,000,000 firearms out there. 250,000,000 high cap magazines in private hands.
And the government thinks they can “regulate” that?
He’ll need 2/3 of Congress to approve it, which won’t happen anytime soon.
Inventory your weapons! Which ones does the Government know you have? Which ones are untracable to you?
They know I have three CMP rifles. Wish I had kept all those I bought before the 1968 Gun Control Act was passed.
Tell the UN to go retrieve those items.
“ You reckon he is going to register all those M-16s and heavy machine guns he gave the Taliban.........”
************
UN will contract to go door to door to every residence to collect gun data. Sarc//
Can Biden sign the United States citizens into a treaty that we do not agree with? What a traitor!
Biden staff are going to move quickly in many ugly directions to get our minds off Afghanistan.
Or a leap year 29th...
Perhaps the treaty requires actual purchase of firearms and weapons to be in effect. Biden gave the Taliban tens of thousands of military weapons, despite this supposed treaty. Can he afford to be the first treaty violator? Or is he simply not covered by that very unconstitutional document?
This Ping List is for all things pertaining to infringes upon or victories for the 2nd Amendment.
FReepmail me if you want to be added to or deleted from the list.
More 2nd Amendment related articles on FR's Bang List.
Are the Taliban coming to DC to sign the Document with him?
Apparently Biden is a Straw Buyer for the Taliban.
When will he be arrested.
Compliance will be near zero
We are living in post constitutional America. Anything is possible.
