Videos tagged with Civilian Arms

This video discusses the UN Arms Trade Treaty negotiations from the perspective of Tom Mason, representing the NRA. Key concerns include the broad definition of 'small arms and light weapons' which includes civilian arms, the inadequate mention of hunting and sport shooting in the preamble, and the potential for ammunition to be regulated. The treaty's language is described as 'slippery,' with potential implications for civilian ownership and the possibility of being cited in future lawsuits against manufacturers. The speaker expresses disappointment that civilian arms are not explicitly excluded and notes that while the preamble mentions human rights, this is often linked to calls for gun control.
