Last week, the Senate Foreign Relations Committee held a hearing on the nomination of Harold Koh, a former Dean of the Yale Law School [snip]One of the many concerns with Koh is his belief that international organizations should be empowered to regulate the Second Amendment right to own a firearm.

Koh advocated a U.N.-governed regime to force the U.S. “to submit information about their small arms production.”


Koh supports the idea that the U.N. should be granted the power “to standardize national laws and procedures with member states of regional organizations.”

Koh’s ideas could lead to a national database of all firearm owners, as well as the use of international law to force the U.S. to pass laws to find out who owns guns.
