“For five years now, various committees of the United Nations purport to have been drafting ‘an internationally acceptable Arms Trade Treaty’ that ‘will make the world safer.’ If the U.N.’s ‘Open-Ended Working Group on an ATT’ completes its ‘work’ on time, the treaty will be voted on next year. The Obama administration is on record supporting the measure, claiming, ‘The United States is committed to actively pursuing a strong and robust treaty that contains the highest possible, legally binding standards for the international transfer of conventional weapons.’ … Freedom Alliance President Tom Kilgannon, who wrote the book on how the U.N. usurps U.S. sovereignty, ‘Diplomatic Divorce,’ says we shouldn’t be surprised at the international forum’s end run on the U.S. Constitution. ‘The U.N. is a global-leftist organization that uses multilateral treaties like the ATT to enforce their will upon all humankind. It’s the ultimate power play. To them, the U.S. Constitution and the sovereign rights of American citizens are irrelevant. If they have their way, they will create a vast new international bureaucracy to document, regulate, track, supervise, inspect and maintain surveillance over every firearm ever made. Such a regime ought to be completely unacceptable to every American.’” –columnist Oliver North

All this and they will be unable to stop drug cartels, gangs, gangsters, and terrorists from getting all the weapons they want and then some.
