UN Gun Control

I contacted the US State Department concerning the Arms Trade Treaty. Below is their reply...

"The proposed U.N. Arms Trade Treaty does not affect weapons position or transfers within the United States.

"The United States would support an Arms Trade Treaty that addresses international transfers of conventional weapons, not internal or “domestic” transfers or possession. The United States will oppose any effort to address internal transfers and any provisions that would conflict with the U.S. Constitution or U.S. law. 

"Irresponsible conventional arms transfers are a crucial national security concern for the United States. Irresponsible arms exports by countries around the world continue to conflict zones, terrorists, and other entities of concern. The Arms Trade Treaty process calls for the creation of international regulations on the international transfer of conventional arms to help prevent arms transfers to parties under UN arms embargoes and to prevent diversion of arms into the illicit market.Thank you for contacting the Department of State.

 "We shall have to see. Contact your congressmen and senators about the treaty.
