Re: If Obama Imposes the U.N. Gun Ban...

I posted an earlier wiki link:

I was on snopes a few days ago and found this:

It also affirms that the Constitution overrides treaties.

Re: If Obama Imposes the U.N. Gun Ban...

This has always scared me too. I found this:

The finding of the Court being that the Constitution is SUPREME to any treaty.

WHEW!! Load off my mind.
