Allen Youngman, representing military small arms manufacturers, discusses concerns regarding the UN Arms Trade Treaty draft. He highlights the lack of definition for 'transfer,' which could encompass civilian sales and ownership, directly impacting Second Amendment rights. The treaty's inclusion of small arms and light weapons, potentially including hunting shotguns and handguns, is a significant concern, as proponents claim it's not about civilian gun control while simultaneously resisting language to exempt civilian firearms.

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.
