Inter-American Firearm treaty question

Postby gotigers » Mon Jul 06, 2009 6:55 am

The actual title is: INTER-AMERICAN CONVENTION AGAINST THE ILLICIT MANUFACTURING OF AND TRAFFICKING IN FIREARMS, AMMUNITION, EXPLOSIVES, AND OTHER RELATED MATERIALS

I have read about this treaty several times. Yesterday i read a blurb that this treaty, along with its other intrusions, would allow foreign militaries access to private gun owner lists. These lists would include ownser's names, address, weapons, etc.

Is this accurate?

It was once said, "Japan would never invade the United States. We would find a rifle behind every blade of grass." Isoroku Yamamoto.

Well, this treaty is the first step in helping the next evil empire invade the US. If they know who has weapons and where to find them. It will make it much easier to conquer us.

Edit: here is a link to the treaty: http://www.oas.org/juridico/English/treaties/a-63.html

The treaty requires that the said owner information be kept and 'shared' with other member nations. The exact regulations under which we would share such information have not been released and probably would not be released until after this treaty was approved by the Senate.

Yes the treaty is REALLY that scary...
