To: Second Amendment First

From Item 14 of the UN Treaty:

“...conventional arms exclusively for, inter alia, recreational, cultural, historical and sporting activities for States where such ownership and use are permitted or protected by law;...”

Well, the term “conventional” will become as misused as “assault rifle”.
And, “self-defense” is not listed as a reason for ownership.

Although, in court, I would argue that “Self-Defense” is both “cultural and historical”.

“Congressional opponents are trying to make sure the treaty never gets to the Senate.”

Why? There’s no way that this passes the Senate. I’d think that forcing a vote would help in the Senate elections.
