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 Global Warming Treaty we abide by though it was never even brought up for ratification?
Operation Cassandra.
the un can kiss my skinny little butt....send the blue helmets my way PLEASE!!!! I need some target practice
He will just put on line everyone who filled out a form to purchase a firearm and let ‘nature’ ie “treasonous domestic terrorists” take care of the ‘problem’
Both parties seek power and don’t intend to use it well.
The problem isn’t the parties. They would be mostly harmless if we hadn’t allowed the creation of an all-powerful central government.

Good! That is what the people get for putting the son of a female dog in the White House. According to Ben Franklin, you always get the Government you deserve. At least the people got rid of President Trump.
Confiscation is the obvious end result. NYC (yes I know it’s a freedom haters paradise) in 1976 as a celebration of the 200th anniversary of the founding of the country required that all semiautomatic rifles be registered with the promise (politicians’ promises) the the registration lists would NEVER be used for confiscation. Fast forward to the early 90’s. The despicable trash, David Dinkins and his accomplices in the city council passed confiscation - all semiautomatic rifles had the be turned in the the police, certified rendered permanently inoperable by a gunsmith or sold. Most owners complied. Sheep. About four dozen didn’t. About half of those were paperwork mistakes, and the others were arrested in the best gestapo tradition by those heroic defenders of the constitution the NYPD.
Long winded way of saying NEVER trust a politician’s promises and registration always leads to confiscation sooner or later.
It won’t be UN troops carrying out the confiscations. It will be the local police and feebs that you’ll have to deal with and you know how the police and feebs like to make a show. One can only hope that a number of someones have a few defensive surprises for them and spoil the show and maybe include the media in their surprise party welcome.
Good! Let’s finish this….
...as if guns are capable of violence. This idea qualifies anyone associated for membership in the International order of SFB. The second and third letters translate “for Brains”.
Great idea -- all the gun-grabbing terrorist despotates can find out where US gun owners live.
Better yet...global gun registration...
hahahaha.
