The National Rifle Association has demanded that the United Nations leave
civilian weapons out of a treaty on international arms sales that it is
negotiating this month.
Wayne LaPierre, the group’s CEO, warned Wednesday
that the treaty won’t pass Congress if it does include restrictions on civilian
arms, as this would trump Americans’ right to bear arms under the Second
Amendment, The Hill reports.
He said 58 senators have promised to
oppose a treaty, that covers civilian weapons. A U.N. treaty would need approval
from two-thirds of the Senate to become law in the United States.

By my read of the 2nd amendment, any citizen can own any arms, pistol . . . tank . . . jet fighter.
If you can afford it, do it.
