International treaties, especially self-executing ones are the back door we currently have undefended.

So True!
I was in England visiting relatives recently, and had a discussion with my brother's in law about self protection and gun rights. I was amazed that they believe that nothing would ever be done in the UK to undo the restrictive gun laws there. They don't believe that a collective voice would make a bit of difference, ever. They believe it would take an act of revolt. We are closely allied with Britain (and other EU countries). Pressure will mount, in the future, to become even more closely tied to them in order to protect ourselves from other emerging world powers. Our gun laws could be seen as a potential obstruction to alliances (however illogical). An international group could spread the logic and help people understand that changes to laws don't require extreme measures. Plant the seed and (hopefully) watch it grow. Safety in numbers goes beyond borders for sure.
