So your first question, why does the "UN Small Arms Treaty" effect me? Per the NRA E-mail this afternoon:
While the U.N.’s so-called “Small Arms Treaty” is being sold as a “common-sense measure” to combat international terrorism, piracy, and organized crime, the reality is something much different and FAR more sinister. Reading through Article V and Article XII of the treaty, it’s easy to see why this INTERNATIONAL gun control scheme is the gun-grabbers’ crown jewel. In fact, it’s hard to imagine how our Second Amendment could possibly survive this assault after reading through the horrific details of the Treaty, including:
*** Requiring the United States to mandate licenses for gun and ammo sales, and perhaps even bans on certain types of firearms; This could include anything from semi-auto rifles to shotguns to handguns!
*** Mandating a new INTERNATIONAL gun registry; The registry must include “the quantity, value, model/type, authorized international transfers of conventional arms” and the identity of the “end user.”
*** Access for foreign governments to AMERICAN firearms records. Not only would our federal government and international bureaucrats have access to these records, but also would leaders in anti-gun and potentially hostile countries around the globe!
As bad as all this is, it will only be the first step.
You and I both know registration is the first step toward outright CONFISCATION. This Treaty sets the stage for confiscation on a GLOBAL scale.
I donate here and there when I have the means, but I did go out of my way to make a donation for this specific cause, today. In addition to signing the petition, please strongly consider a donation, every bit helps. The treaty will be discussed on the senate floor very soon.
