Same here.

I remember the bumper stickers from my youth that said: US out of UN; UN out of US. A sentiment I wholly support.

UN: Colo., Wash. legal pot violates drug treaties

http://seattletimes.com/html/localnews/ ... ethru.html
A United Nations-based drug agency urged the United States government on Tuesday to challenge the legalization of marijuana for recreational use in Colorado and Washington, saying the state laws violate international drug treaties.
Could this set a precedent for enforcement of the UN arms treaty? I have to wonder if this isn't rigged for an attempt to establish a precedent prior to bringing a revamped arms control treaty up for a vote. Or simply a Federal supremacy test for gun laws.
