should apply to:
• Transactions between States;
• Transactions between States and a private end-user;
• Commercial sales;
• Rentals;
• Loans, gifts or any other form of transfer.
this is from the 2006 treaty which Pres. Bush refused to sign off on. even Russia sees it as a national security risk. it makes no sense for a country to publicly share its military secrets, especially telling the world what we're packn.Canada strongly believes that an instrument should be confined to transfers
which will involve arms or related technology moving from the territory of one
State to that of another State, including Government-to-Government or State-toState transfers. An instrument should not cover transfers within a State. An
instrument also should not impose restrictions on how arms may be acquired, held
or used within a State's territory. Furthermore, an instrument should not place overly
burdensome controls on the movement of privately owned firearms and should
respect the existing and legitimate interests of firearms owners, producers, brokers
and retailers.
