Looks to be about stopping illegal arms transfers between states and various less-than-legal entities. Like stopping Iran from funneling guns to various Islamic insurgent groups. You'd think The Right would be doing cartwheels over it. Nope. The call of 'not our guns' is out. Must be an election year or something.
This is on page 11 of the above referenced document.

"6. Recognizing further the sovereign right of States to determine any regulation of internal transfers of arms and national ownership exclusively within their territory, including through national constitutional protections on private ownership,"

See? No effect on personal ownership in USA.
