define your idea of meaningful
So I just have to give up Glocks, Ak clones and cheap ammo.... or will it just jack the prices up to where its not worth buying stuff. Yep won't effect me at all (sarcasm).

It will also not register any firearm purchase by an American except in the case where an American citizen buys a gun directly from a foreign manufacturer. However, tracking high end European O/U shotguns is not the purpose of this treaty.
That doesn't say anything about any new registration regulations. More than that, the UN legally can't compel the US to increase regulation of any kind within the borders of America. Furthermore, the final draft of the treaty isn't even final, let alone agreed upon.

As it sits now, it doesn't infringe upon our 2A rights.
No matter what Obama and Hillary do, the treaty would still have to be ratified by Congress. An international treaty cannot supercede the Constitution. Any changes to it have to be via amendment.
The UN small arms treaty does not effect US gun ownership in any meaningful way.
