I would suggest that this treaty, by its own design is moot. Read the details, please. It is inherently designed to fail and is only offering lip service to show that the UN is concerned--much like it offers lip service to those murdered in Kenya, Somalia, Rwanda, Yemen, and Burundi, amongst others. Will this affect private gun ownership in the United States? Are you kidding me? This discussion reminds me of a group of old women, sitting around the quilting circle and wringing their hands in fear of a meteor strike in Kansas. Read the details of the proposed treaty and draw your own conclusions. But do read it first.

The proposed treaty would regulate the sale of weapons to nations in crisis both militarily and in terms of human rights. 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.
