    *Cry me a river,interesting now how the US/gun lobby gets blamed!

    When one reads the SAAMI chair's statement( http://saami.org/news/031912.cfm )the truth is that this potentially good (re warzone/genocidal types)treaty was sunk because the gungrabbers hijacked/tried to empose its ideology/agenda...., this was not in the scope,nor in the spirit of this agreement...!

    UN - Integrity. Are mutually exclusive.

    Not surprised that the Brits are the ones pushing for the passage of this treaty. Did they want a repeat of 1775?

    I kind of doubt it was anything but grandstanding. Political fodder. Weapons will never cease to be profitable because they'll never go out of demand.

    Yeah , the US is to blame.

    The US is probably the country dumping the millions upon millions of AK type rifles we find in every genocidal, racist or extremist conflict on the planet. Every, single, one.

    That is probably it.

    We don't need a law that will never get passed. We need to call out and fix a few countries who love to profit from mass murder.

    Oh and lets not even pretend we don't know who they are.

    Honest question (as an American 2nd amendment supporter): What's the problem with the stipulations of the treaty, aside from the fact that it likely won't be that effective? Trying to actually look at this objectively.

    I think the problem is that this kind of agreements, while impotent to stop the flow of weapons to all kind of bad people, are used to block the international circulation of civilian legal firearms, with all kind of birocratic crap. So with such an agreement in place chances are you won't be able to buy much stuf coming from outside.
    This is the actual purpose of this attempt. Restriction of nongovernment international firearms sales.
