The sooner we boot the UN off of our soil and quit funding them the better off we will be.

Under NO circumstances does ANY UN treaty trump the constitution.

My understanding is that approved and signed treaties become part of US law, hence the UN/treaty route instead of attempting to pass a bill/law through congress.
Either way, MOLON LABE !!

Would this treaty apply in the wild parts of the world, where everyone is armed, like Afghanistan, or Yemen, or Sierra Leone? Or is it just aimed at the U. S., where the citizens are armed but well enough off to be worth controlling better and fleecing?
I think the answer is obvious. The only way it can be enforced is if the national governments are strong enough to enforce it in their countries and also wish to.

This could result in turning a good many law abiding citizens into Felons. I would become one.

This crap floating out of the UN cesspool has been going on under different guises for over a decade. Back in 2001, John Bolton told the UN plainly to stuff it; Hillary Clinton and her taskmasters, OTOH, welcomes this sort of plan with open arms.
This sort of action would certainly qualify as that "under the radar" stuff that Hussien Obeyme was whispering in Sarah Brady's ear.

My understanding is that approved and signed treaties become part of US law, hence the UN/treaty route instead of attempting to pass a bill/law through congress.No, it still requires a two-thirds vote of the Senate to go into force, so it doesn't work as a way to do an end run around the legislature, and besides some experts say that a treaty conflicting with the Constitution would be null and void, i.e. a treaty is not interpreted as a mini-amendment if there is a Constitutional conflict.
