The UN Arms Treaty situation

[commando552]

I don't know much about this and am not sure why people are against it, can someone explain it. Is it that people are afraid it will infringe on the 2nd amendment (not sure how it can exactly but whatever), or because it will potentially affect US arms exports and threaten domestic industry? I'm British so can't sign the petition even if I agreed with it (don't understand it yet so don't know if I do) am just curious.

When I clicked on the petition this is the first comment: "F*uck the gun grabbing, victim disarmament, New World Order controlled, Fascists at the UN!!! DON'T TREAD ON ME!!!!!!!!!!"
