Gun Owners Up in Arms Over Possible U.N. Regulatio

Another loss in California for the RTKABA but your rights can be affected by arms treaties, and it is ignored by many. Treaties are binding on all Americans.

Arms Trade Treaty could take away Second Amendment rights.

If this is the same treaty, president clinton SIGNED IT when he was in office. It was never ratified.

A treaty cannot override the Constitution.

Article II, section 2, of the Constitution states that the president "shall have Power, by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, to make Treaties, provided two-thirds of the Senators present concur."

Not likely to happen, especially since any laws affected by said treaty would need to be changed in advance. It is highly unlikely that the SCOTUS will be reversing its recent ruling vis-a-vis the Second Amendment at any time in the near future.
