This video from Guns & Gadgets discusses President Trump's withdrawal of the U.S. from the United Nations Register of Conventional Arms (UNROCA). The speaker, an established commentator on Second Amendment news, argues this move protects U.S. sovereignty and prevents international bodies from influencing domestic firearms policy, which is viewed as a constitutionally protected right, not subject to global consensus or 'best practices.' The withdrawal is framed as a defense against international efforts that could lead to gun registration and confiscation.

This video reviews 'The Sterling Years: Small Arms and the Men' by James Edmiston, detailing his experience owning the Sterling Arms Company from the 1970s into the early 1980s. The book offers a unique perspective on the realities of running a machine gun company, emphasizing the bureaucratic hurdles over adventure. It covers international sales of the Sterling submachine gun, which was exported to over 200 countries, and discusses the political factors influencing military arms adoption. Edmiston's account highlights the challenges of dealing with government bureaucracy, particularly the British government's reluctance to work with domestic private arms manufacturers.
