Don't Sign Mr. President

We're in trouble if the UN Arms Trade Treaty goes through. Two-thirds of those voting in the Senate is possible if some Republicans aren't in school the day the vote is arranged. Apparently the president plans to sign (though the Senate has passed legislation negating it already) on Monday, Jun 3.
A few people in the comments on the story were pointing to the harmlessness of the treaty concerning the effect within the borders of the U.S. To them I said, "Yes, some of us have read the treaty. It does not technically "clash with the Second Amendment." The most concerning things are between the lines.
Where do your Glocks, Springfield XD's, some Taurus's, Rock Island, most AKs, Mosin Nagants, etc., etc. originate? Correct, from outside this country. If the U.S. Government can go after/try to financially ruin Gibson Guitars for importing a relatively small amount of wood used in their production based on a treaty signed by a nation outside this country what do you think is going to happen with this treaty in effect? How many firearms importers wil be financially roughed-up or even bankrupted by this administration as they take advantage of the treaty?"
No matter how harmless Snopes or anyone else may try to make it sound it's a taking a step down a road that we don't want to travel. All legislation is to be considered an incremental step toward some larger goal, whether by direct route or flanking maneuver. Wake up, it's not all rainbows and sunshine.

Go read it.
