I fail to see how a mere treaty with a foreign power or corrupt organization can trump the US Constitution. Could a UN treaty end free speech, allow UN “peace keeper” troops to be housed in private residences, end trial by jury or allow UN “inspectors” to enter my residence without a warrant? If a treaty only ratified by the US Senate can end the Bill of Rights why are we signing such treaties?

Article VI, section 2 of the U. S. Constitution which reads: "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."

emphasis mine

"We" are NOT signing them. Traitors and prospective tyrants are signing them. Time to prepare to exercise the true meaning of the second amendment.

Blue helmets make good targets.

In other words, if the Second Amendment goes, will the First, Third, and Fourth Amendments be safe? The answer is no.

there is a seperate treaty that established that signator nations are to act as if the treaty has been ratified in their country until rejected.

Also just signing on can impose the treaty if you reach a tipping point.

see kyoto global warming treaty. That battle was about reaching the tipping point.

Kissinger wrote the way to bypass the constitution was via treaty.
