The Heritage Foundation<\/a>\u00a0posted an article today about the\u00a0U.N. Arms Trade Treaty (ATT<\/a>). The U.N. has released its press package for its July conference that will finalize the ATT.<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

This paper perpetuates the belief, on which much of the ATT is based, that the big problem the world faces is a lack of agreed standards on arms transfers. That\u2019s wrong: The big problem the world faces in this regard is that many U.N. member states are dictatorships, supporters of terrorists, or simply incapable of controlling their own borders.<\/strong><\/p>\n

But the paper makes it clear that the job of the U.N.\u2014as the U.N. itself sees it\u2014is to make the case for a very broad treaty. As CASA puts it, \u201cAdvocacy efforts should be developed\u2026through relevant reports and op-eds, messages, and statements at relevant meetings and to the press.\u201d So watch out for U.S. taxpayer-funded funded U.N. propaganda in a newspaper near you.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The important sentence in the press kit:<\/p>\n

But in spite of its desperate<\/a> efforts to rebut Second Amendment<\/a> concerns, the U.N. can\u2019t stop stepping on its own shoelaces. After proclaiming that the ATT \u201cdoes not aim to impede or interfere with the lawful ownership and use of weapons,\u201d the CASA paper goes on to say that \u201cUnited Nations<\/a> agencies have come across many situations in which various types of conventional weapons have been\u2026misused by lawful owners\u201d and that the \u201carms trade must therefore be regulated in ways that would\u2026minimize the risk of misuse of legally owned weapons.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

I don’t know what the chances of this treaty being ratified by the Senate are. I do know that President Obama has been named Salesman of the Year by many gun stores–private ownership of guns has soared during his administration. People are buying guns while it is still legal to own them.<\/p>\n
