Here’s your UN mandated gun registration system:

Article 2

4. Each State Party shall establish or update, as appropriate, and maintain a national control list that shall include the items that fall within Paragraph 1 above, as defined on a national basis, based on relevant UN instruments at a minimum. Each State Party shall publish its control list to the extent permitted by national law.

There’s also provision for an international bureaucracy to monitor the guns in civilian hands.

Personally I don’t much cotton to such nonsense.

A "control list" is not a "UN mandated gun registration system." Here is a link to a Commerce Department site re: export controls. There is a link to a "control list" on the page. A "control list" is basically a list of (a) specific items covered by certain import/export provisions and/or (b) criteria for determining whether items are covered by said import/export provisions.

In this context, Article 2 lists 8 categories of "conventional arms" covered by the treaty. The "control list" would be a document that defined what types of arms fall into each of the categories. It's not a gun registry.

If they want registration it should be this. All citizens have guns and ammo. End of discussion. Now pack your United Nations commie BS and get off our land and go back to whatever 3rd world country you came from.

In all seriousness, I can’t understand when every elected official in Washington won’t tell the UN to take a hike. But then again, we continue to elect the enemy.
