State Dept. Official Assures World: Biden Admin Wants ATT

Post by Bruenor »

Huh after leaving Billion$$$ in small and not so small arms to the Taliban in Afghanistan....

https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2021 ... n-control/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
State Department official William Malzahn spoke August 31, 2021, at the Seventh Conference of States Parties to the Arms Trade Treaty and made clear the Biden Administration is committed to international gun control.
I have come from Washington D.C. this week to take the floor on the agenda item Treaty Universalization to underscore the continuing commitment of the United States to responsible international trade in conventional arms. The United States has long supported strong and effective national controls on the international transfer of conventional arms, and the Arms Trade Treaty is an important tool from promoting those controls internationally.

I'm sure you all recall the registration requirements for this.
the treaty encourages records for “end use or end [users]” to be maintained for “a minimum of ten years” after the weapons reach their final destination. This requires the creation of a database of sales records – which would include information on the weapons and the owners – and that information would be internationally maintained

This is an actual treaty, though, right... requiring Senate ratification?

yes, was previously signed but not ratified.. Trump basically tore it up and tossed it.

At least it takes 2/3 votes in favor of approval for ratification and not 50+1
