Obama plans to sign a UN treaty to ban guns in the US

If the Dems do that, there is one little problem for them, The United States Constitution and the 2nd Amendment. The courts have interpreted that to be an individual right. That would have to be amended before anything signed with the U.N. would apply. - ΜΟΛΩΝ ΛΑΒΕ -

Well, Obama disagrees. International laws >>> U.S. Constitution. That was precisely his defense re Libya.

I’m pretty sure the courts are divided over whether treaties can supercede the constition. See Agenda 21 which erases property ownership.
