Under the title of "General Implementation," Article 5 of the ATT requires that all states participating in the treaty "shall establish and maintain a national control system, including a national control list."

Article 12 mandates that the list include the "quantity, value, model/type" as well as the identity of the "end users" of each weapon covered under the ATT.

As the Heritage Foundation notes, imported firearms, considered part of the "arms trade" to be regulated, constitute about 35% of the new firearms market in the U.S. This would subject private American gun owners to the provisions of the treaty, ratified or not.

If I remember correctly this was discussed here on FR around the year 2000-2001, when UN was writing all kinds of land grab, water grab, gun grab, and other grab Articles.

I think (MouthoftheSouth ‘deceased years ago’) was one of the FR that sent me a copy of something, but it was on a floppy disc, so not sure where it is now... probably a storage box.

UN has been writing and passing all this stuff for years just waiting for an Obama to come along.

A national control system and national control list won’t even come close to satisfying liberals. It will, however, come closer to outright confiscation from all law-abiding citizens, leaving guns in the hand of criminals.

treaties are not law and any treaty that violates US law is null and void
