Trump Breaking News Network -Tex. Gov. Abbott Warns Obama Treaty Could Give U.N. Authority to Regulate Guns in America.

In a message on Twitter, Texas Republican Gov. Greg Abbott urged his constituents to tell the Senate to reject a United Nations treaty which he says would give the global body some measure of control over American firearms.

The agreement is called the Arms Trade Treaty and was described by Guns.com as an attempt “to regulate the world’s annual exchange of $70 billion in conventional weaponry.”

It seeks to track arms as they cross borders. The problem is that, as Breitbart reported, it requires a kind of internal tracking measure of firearms to be maintained by signatory countries. This, according to Gov. Abbott, is why he believes the ATT could be a form of “backdoor” gun control, designed to enact universal background checks.

“The concern is that the United States is trying to use the United Nations as a backdoor mechanism to try to legislate here in the United States, in this instance trying to impose gun control,” Gov. Abbott said in 2013, according to the Austin American-Statesman.

While Politifact said that Abbott’s concerns about the treaty were “false,” there was troubling language in the document that could signal its use as a method of gun control.

In a portion of the text titled “Diversion,” for instance, it stated that all signatories “involved in a transfer of conventional arms (exporting, transit/trans-shipment and importing states) shall adopt measures to prevent diversion,” which includes examining “all relevant information and parties.”
