The UN gun control treaty is bad for gun owners everywhere

The United Nations has been debating an arms trade treaty for nearly a decade now. Though the treaty is ostensibly focused on military arms, it has long been clear that the majority of U.N. delegates consider our personal firearms to be crying out for international regulation, as well. The focus of the treaty would be a demand that governments regulate the sale and possession of firearms worldwide — all of them, including yours and mine.

Though I believe that firearms should not be in the wrong hands, the proposed terms of this global gun control treaty would overreach wildly into regulating the sale of firearms to law-abiding citizens.

How do you know what the wrong hands are? Are they in prison? Under 21? 18? 16? 12? Black? Past felons? Who kept and bore some pot? Insane Republicans? Aren't they all? Not a member of an official club? Not registered hunters? Violent males? Known to have raised their voices on at least one occasion? So unbalanced as to want to own a gun?
 
 QUOTES TO REMEMBER
And what country can preserve its liberties, if its rulers are not warned from time to time that this people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms....The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time, with the blood of patriots and tyrants. — Thomas Jefferson in a letter to William S. Smith in 1787. Taken from Jefferson, On Democracy p. 20, S. Padover ed., 1939
