Thank you, Mr. Chair. I'll be sharing my time with Mr. Dechert.
I appreciate the emphasis you've placed on recognizing and protecting the ability of law-abiding private firearms owners to enjoy the recreational use of their firearms in a responsible manner. I see that as a priority. You've mentioned it several times.
In your answers to my colleagues here, who have raised the same kind of issue, you talked about wording in the preamble for addressing this issue. Maybe you could elaborate on that a little more and explain how that is binding on nation states that participate in this. Why isn't it in the main part? Is the preamble as strong a protection for civilian firearms ownership as it would be in the regular text?
My colleague also asked about the changes that have taken place from the previous.... Maybe you could elaborate on that a bit too.
