Secretary of State John Kerry continues to push the United Nations measure that would resort to international law trumping U.S. state law in an effort to confiscate guns from U.S. citizens in obvious disregard of the Second Amendment.

False assertion. A treaty cannot trump the Second Amendment unless we stand by idly and let it happen.

Both in text and in practice, treaties trump the Constitution routinely.

Oh, and if you need an example of a treaty that wildly exceeds constitutional authority here you go. Title XVI, Section 1531 USC cites this treaty as authority for the Endangered Species Act. If you want an explanation as to how it got this way try this.
