BEWARE the UN Small Arms Treaty.

By signing that treaty, and Harry Reid not putting it up for a vote, the US can still be bound by the terms of the treaty until it is rejected.

It bypasses the House of Representatives AND

nulifys the second amend.

By "customary international law" (i.e.; State Department whim) and the Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties (which we never ratified), you are correct sir! And, I might add, one of the few who really gets it. Yet Kyoto was rejected and FedGov is STILL forcing carbon emission reductions anyway! Ain't gobble grub-a-mint one-duh-full?

BTW, if Reid gets REALLY sneaky, "two-thirds of the Senators present" can ratify that beast with only 34 votes.

nothing can nullify an inalienable right.
