While you're in the reading mode, read that treaty. It doesn't infringe on US sovereignty.
I've covered this before. If you want to be afraid that the big bad (US funded since its inception) UN is coming for your guns go right ahead.
UN Treaties do NOT override national laws. They just don't. In order for the US to ratify a treaty that is in violation of out laws we have to change those laws, via due process, before we can ratify the treaty. Nor do we have to abide by a treaty that isn't yet ratified - you know why? We never ratified the treaty that set that rule. Ironic, no?
In short, there is not a snowball's chance in hell that this treaty is going to be any more of threat to the 2nd amendment than we already face from our lawmakers as it is.
You either understand how international treaties work or you don't. Those who are up in arms about this treaty most likely don't. It isn't harmless but it isn't anywhere near as dangerous to the 2nd amendment as it has been made out to be. As I've pointed out before the pro-gun interests could actually GAIN traction from the treaty if they were strategic about it. That they are not tells me they are not thinking strategically about it. They are being sensationalistic about it. Just like the Dems are about Sandy Hook.
The treaty ~could~ make our troops safer in the future, did you know? ~Could~ make things like the insurgencies less dangerous, less well armed, harder for our enemies to supply without repercussions. Of course, it also makes it harder for us to do that kind of thing, too. All without having any affect on America's second amendment. This treaty isn't about the 2nd at all. Sure, some other countries around the table would like it to be but they way these treaties work it can't be.
You either understand that or you don't. If you don't then your arguments about the treaty are completely ineffective, as will your arguments about any attempt to illegally enforce aspects of the treaty in a way that infringes the 2nd should the treaty be signed by the State Dept. You ~really~ need to understand that the treaty, indeed the whole of the UN, does not supersede US law and any attempts to "enforce" it, prior to ratification, would be illegal.
Its exactly like refusing to cooperate at checkpoints: they have no authority to stop and search you unless you engage with them and allow them. You ~really~ need to understand this as it relates to the UN and US law. The way the NRA and the rest of us are talking about this treaty gives it WAAAAAAY more authority than it has. That is uninformed, irresponsible and dangerous.
