A question that must be considered is what the UN will consider "adequate laws." Will the globalists at the UN consider the Second Amendment's guarantee of the right to keep and bear arms without infringement to be a sufficient control on gun ownership?
The effort at eradication of private gun ownership is more insidious than it appears, however. On page 25 of the 1997 UN Secretary General's Report on Criminal Justice Reform and Strengthening Legal Institutions Measure to Regulate Firearms (of which the United States was a signatory), a part of the regulations agreed to by the United States is the administering of a psychological test before a person is cleared to buy ammunition.
Apparently, the UN recognizes that without ammunition a gun is no more than a club, so in order to effectively disarm a population, the UN does not need to seize all the weapons; it merely has to prevent purchase of ammunition.
How does the ATT (and the Programme of Action that undergirds it) propose to enforce this anti-gun agenda? and how does the insidious National Defense Authorization Acts plays a part? (more on that further below, you won't like it. Pay special attention to the dates)
"Section III, Paragraphs 7 and 8 of the Programme of Action mandate that if a member state cannot get rid of privately-owned small arms legislatively, then the control of "customs, police, intelligence, and arms control" will be placed under the power of a board of UN bureaucrats operating out of the UN Office for Disarmament Affairs."
Obviously, the Obama administration is just itching to pass this monstrosity through the UN. Once that happens, the UN itself says that they are mandated to take control of `customs, police, intelligence, and arms control'. Who do you think will not comply with this treaty in any form? The states and the citizenry.
An interesting analysis on another part of the treaty, which says that it is the responsibility for the member state to use gun sniffing technologies; technologies that the DHS has already unveiled:
In order to assist these blue-helmets and their disarmament overlords in their search and seizure of this ammunition, Section III, Paragraph 10 mandates that member states develop technology to improve the UN's ability to detect stockpiles of ammo and arms.

It is to bad that back in 01 the swarthy men with used diapers on their heads didn't park the hijacked airliners in the un building.
The un has always backed every genocidal dictator to the limit and beyond.
It's FREEDOM that they fear.

The UN website has lots of reassurances that the ATT will not affect the rights of citizens. We will have to wait to see what the text of the treaty is, as well as to view the US Senate fight on ratification of the treaty.
In my humble opinion, the ATT will be totally worthless in reducing the trade in black market weapons. The trade is supported by NATIONS not some slime in a grimy office. The slime simply makes money by facilitating what the NATIONS want done. Does anyone really believe that any nation could not stop the black market in arms if they really wanted to?
By the way, how do we make sure to keep the arms away from 'terrorists' without keeping the 'freedom fighters' from getting them? This is one of those messes that the UN can only wring their hands about and not fix.
