Good, this bullshit needs to be put to rest, and the people who support it need to be flushed out of the woodwork.
Not that its a ton worry, as for this to work, the US would need to pass a supporting law…or we’d be dealing with a full-on-foreign invasion.

How do we have treaties with a non governmental organization? I thought you could only have treaties with nations?

I really do not worry about this… Too many gun owners who would resort to diplomacy by other means… Politicians know this..

Many Politicians know this sure.
But not all. And I’d bet that a bunch of the NGO Goo-Goos have even a higher fraction of “not knowing”.
Especially if you have people who are more familair with Assie, UK, ect style progressive mass disarmerments, and don’t grok just how many guns and how many gun owners there are in the US.
Just look at the conceptual difference between a a casual gun owner and a gunnie, or someone living in Mass versus someone in Utah. People can have massively different world views and their view on what’s “legal” can have very little foundation.
Look at how often “waiting periods” still come up in pop culture, even though very few places in the US have such laws anymore.
Never underestimate the Dunning–Kruger effect.
Or the will to “do something” and pass a feel good law, even if you know it’ll be moot.

This bill would most likely have no effect. The Executive branch has a constitutional right to enact treaties subject to Senate approval.

The act is not needed. All that is really needed are competent judges.
The Bill of Rights supersedes the treaty provision article in the Constitution, because they are amendments to the Constitution.
Amendments, under Article V, supersede all other Articles.
