There seems to be a hell of lot of ignorance about how the Constitution works. Much of this, oddly enough, comes from people who are constantly yapping about their Constitutional rights. Consider for example the outrageous outrage over Clinton’s apparent support for the UN Small Treaty. Congessman Paul Broun (R-Confederacy) sent out this crazy warning in March:

Dear fellow patriot,With willing one-world accomplices in Washington, D.C., gun-grabbers around the globe believe they have it made.In fact, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton just announced the Obama Administration would be working hand in glove with the UN to pass a new “Small Arms Treaty.”
This is Congressman Paul Broun from Georgia.I’m writing you to make sure American citizens are prepared to oppose this assault on our national sovereignty and right to keep and bear arms.Disguised as legislation to help in the fight against “terrorism,” “insurgency” and “international crime syndicates,” the UN’s Small Arms Treaty is nothing more than a massive, GLOBAL gun control scheme.Ultimately, the UN’s Small Arms Treaty is designed to register, ban and CONFISCATE firearms owned by private citizens like YOU.

The National Association for Gun Rights has a Firearms Sovereignty Survey ready for you to complete, but I want you to understand just how dangerous this global gun ban is. Please bear with me for a moment.

Listen carefully, black helicopterists. A treaty is not some kind of back door to achieve results that could not be achieved by legislation. An international treaty cannot repeal a provision of the Constitution. It doesn’t matter if Hildabeast pricks one of her claws and signs in blood, a treaty must still be ratified by the Senate and supported by enabling legislation. The courts would shred any such legislation in about a nano-second if it called for the general confiscation of firearms.
