I usually lurk here, but I have an immediate question for the management-
The rules here state that it is not allowed to advocate the breaking of any state or federal laws. What if the 2nd Amendment is abridged by treaty ? Is it then OK to advocate breaking a treaty or law that is contrary to the 2nd Amendment ?
 
Unfortunately, she "represents" the U.S.A. to other countries, and she can and will probably sign the UN treaty on small arms soon. If our 2nd Amendment rights are infringed BY TREATY, is it acceptable to advocate the breaking of the laws and treaties which violate our 2nd Amendment RIGHTS, which were given to us not by a mere government or king, but by our Creator ? Firing Line wants to know.
In my opinion, any serious threat to the 2nd Amendment, or the Bill of Rights, will result in a "civil" war.
 
I don't remeber the case or the year. Although I do think the year was 1953? But the Supreme Court ruled that a treaty cannot override any of the amendments that our given to us for being US citizens.

Somebody else know what I am referring to more accurately?
 
It's all a political game...The President and Sec. State can say "SEE!...We tried!!!"

Advocates of the treaty say that they need not worry. The US Constitution trumps international law, and the treaty will not affect domestic gun ownership, they say. But it’s not clear anything can mollify agitated gun owners, even the signatures of 58 senators on letters circulated by colleagues opposing the treaty. If Mr. Obama were to sign the treaty and send it to the Senate, it would fall far short of the two-thirds majority required for ratification.

Reid v. Covert, 1956, I think.
 
Although I'm not in a position to do so, the OP's original question still remains unanswered.
Mods? I think the ball is in y'all s court on this one.

The rules also warn against using blanket invectives like "Hitlery."

Furthermore, we already have numerous threads on this issue.
