Re: UN Gun Control Treaty

The UN concern is that every minute, someone in these various countries, largely Africa and the Middle East, dies from violent combative gun fire. The goal is to prevent the sale to and distribution of weapons to those nations. Unless you are in the business of selling AK's to Somalia, you probably don't have much to worry about here.
Perhaps you're forgetting that China has clearly stated that our prolific gun ownership is a huge human rights issue?

Next objection?

Re: UN Gun Control Treaty

I think the only purpose this small arms treaty serves is to scare up NRA memberships.

It will _never_ ratify in the Senate, and this is one that Obama can't just executive-order into law.
