That is not the way I remember it happening. I remember it being pushed through during a holiday when most lawmakers were leaving D.C. for the Thanksgiving holiday.

I remember a reporter asking a Senator if he understood what GATT would do to the second amendment and the Senator said no he had not read it in it's entirity, the reporter asked him since now he had been made aware would he vote for it now and the Senator said no, but of course he was lying. He looked like a deer caught in the headlights.

At the time I didn't understand what was going on, I wasn't as political then as now.

We've made the 2A subservient to the Commerce Clause, and placed commerce regulation within the pervue of the UN. The results are predictable.
