2/3s of Senators present - that’s not good news. They just need a quorum.

Look at how the British interpret defensive fire arm incidents and you can expect that the UN will be to the extreme of that.
Article VI:
This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in Pursuance thereof; and all Treaties made, or which shall be made, under the Authority of the United States, shall be the supreme Law of the Land; and the Judges in every State shall be bound thereby, any Thing in the Constitution or Laws of any State to the Contrary notwithstanding.
*********************************************************
This article makes treaties subject to the provisions of “This Constitution” I.E. Any treaty must be within our Constitution to become “the supreme Law of the Land”.
The UN arms treaty would violate the second amendment of the Bill of Rights of our Constitution.
If the UN arms treaty were to be recognized as law in the United States, our leaders need to go back to learning our nation’s blue print!
