They call it a threat to both the First and Second Amendments of our Constitution. Of course, they are right. The editorial follows on the heels of a report released by the <a href=\"http:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.blogspot.com\/2010\/07\/heritage-foundation-on-uns-programme-of.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Heritage Foundation on the UN and &#8220;arms control&#8221;<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Theodore Bromund, one of the authors of the Heritage Foundation&#8217;s report, is quoted as saying that he thinks micro-stamping will be included, that there will be some sort of gun registration and licensing system, that this licensing system will cover both guns <b>and<\/b> ammo, and that there may even be restrictions on trade between private individuals.<\/p>\n<p>The Washington Times takes a dim view of the whole thing as well as the role of the Obama Administration in it.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><i>Any U.N. Arms Trade Treaty will undermine freedom around the world. The right to bear arms is an individual&#8217;s protection against oppression anywhere. It took herculean efforts by George W. Bush&#8217;s administration to thwart this U.N. power grab a few years ago. Unfortunately, we now have a left-wing White House working to make this dangerous treaty a reality.<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<div style=\"margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;\" class=\"sharethis-inline-share-buttons\" ><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today&#8217;s Washington Times features an editorial about the UN&#8217;s Arms Trade Treaty.
