She stole deadly controlled chemicals and tried to use them to kill a person. Sounds like a chemical weapon attack to me.

was sentenced to six years in prison, three times the sentence she would have received if the state had pursued the case

You only get two years for attempted murder in Pennsylvania? Remind me to go there if I need to almost kill somebody.

The Feds are arguing that every time a treaty is signed, the Congress obtains all the authority it needs for enabling legislation, regardless of any other Constitutional requirements or limitations.In this case, the Feds are claiming authority over an individual's actions when normally such actions are solely within the purview of the states and not the Federal government.

If the Senate were to approve the recent arms trafficking treaty, they could claim the Congress can restrict firearms in any manner irrespective of the 2nd Amendment.

This is a massive power grab by the Feds and the ruling class.

Wow - I wouldn’t have picked you as a statist.

The feds do not gain jurisdiction in a run-of-the-mill attempted murder case because of some treaty that doesn’t even tangentially pertain to this incident, other than that a chemical was use.

Oh, wait! Gunpowder is a chemical! Should the feds now have jurisdiction for police powers in every case where a firearm is shot?
