Clearly the treaty covers international arms trading. Of course the NRA is opposed as we are the biggest arms dealer in the world by far and will try and scare the bejesus out of some folks.....
You must've skimmed over this part...
In order to avoid being labeled a human rights abuser, the United States (along with all member states) is ordered by the UN to comply with the ATT. To compel this compliance, the ATT empowers the UN to force Congress to:
Enact internationally agreed licensing requirements for Americans
Confiscate and destroy unauthorized firearms of Americans while allowing the U.S. government to keep theirs
Ban the trade, sale, and private ownership of semi-automatic guns
Create and mandate an international registry to organize an encompassing gun confiscation in America
