Backdoor Gun Control

President Obama knows any attempts to push gun control in the United States is bound to bite him, his party, and his agenda in the ass come election day. That explains why any gun control legislation in Congress is on the back burner. That doesn’t mean he supports the Second Amendment. You only have to look at the Small Arms Treaty moving through the UN and this little tidbit from the CCRKBA.
The appointment of anti-gun rights former Seattle Mayor Greg Nickels as an alternate representative to the United Nations has removed any doubt about the Obama administration’s intentions regarding global gun control initiatives, the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms said today.
Fortunately, a treaty requires Senate approval so let your representative know where you stand on this. Do it now.

H/T to Firehand.

The Supreme Court could just say it was the "International Norm", and overrule the Second Amendment.

That sure would be interesting, though.

My understanding was that the Senate had to approve any treaty. No approval, no treaty. At that point what would the Supreme Court have to do with it?
