The UN arms treaty may be a greater threat to our gun rights than anything proposed by Diane Feinstein. It would require all member states to maintain a registry of civilian owned firearms. US representitives say it would not violate the second amendment but you have to remember that these people don't believe anything violates the second amendment. It was blocked from passage yesterday only by Iran, Syria and North Korea, not our usual alies. It can go to a vote of the general assembly early next week and is certain to pass. The only hope then is to insist our senators refuse to ratify, but if it's ratifed by 50 member states and it certainly will be, then it will be binding on all member states.
U.N. Small Arms Treaty Enters Eleventh HourKurt NimmoInfowars.com

Treaty proponents have worked overtime to portray opponent Sen. Rand Paul as a rightwing loon.

AFP reports today.
Despite disappointment the treaty does not go far enough, the
foundation-funded Amnesty International predicts it will be adopted by United Nations member nations.
The treaty, however, will encounter determined opposition in the United States.
“Disguised as an ‘International Arms Control Treaty’ to fight against ‘terrorism,’ ‘insurgency’ and ‘international crime syndicates,’ the UN’s Small Arms Treaty is in fact a massive, GLOBAL gun control scheme,” Kentucky Senator
Rand Paul explained when the treaty was first proposed.
According to Paul, the treaty will enact tougher licensing requirements in the United States; will lead to the confiscation and destruction of all “unauthorized” civilian firearms; will outlaw the trade, sale and ownership of all semiautomatic weapons; and create an international gun registry ahead of full-scale confiscation.
The United Nations admits registration is the objective. “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 of this Article, as defined on a national basis and, at a minimum, based on relevant United Nations instruments,” a
draft submitted to the United Nations Final Conference on the Arms Trade Treaty states. In addition to tanks and aircraft, the paragraph cited in the U.N. document mentions “small arms and light weapons.”
In response to Paul denouncing the draconian aspects of the treaty and what it will mean for the national sovereignty and Second Amendment rights of Americans, the globalist foundation
mounted a campaign in 2011 to portray the Kentucky senator as a rightwing conspiracy theorist and loon.
Last week Senator Paul introduced a budget amendment
making it more difficult for the implementation of any international globalist treaty to establish an international gun registry or gun ban. Early in the morning on March 23, James Inhofe, a Republican from Oklahoma, introduced the amendment. It passed on a vote of 53-46.
“We’re negotiating a treaty that cedes our authority to have trade agreements with our allies in terms of trading arms,”
Inhofe said. “This is probably the last time this year that you’ll be able to vote for your Second Amendment rights.”
