That's true -- but it's possible that a future, SCOTUS could reverse that opinion. It's also possible that a future (or present) liberal administration could simply ignore it, and start clamping down while various cases wend their way through the lower courts. Even if the SCOTUS eventually ruled that the UN treaty didn't trump the Constitution -- if all your guns have been melted into inert lumps and the new rules make it impossible (or very difficult) to replace them ... can we say "Pyrrhic victory" class?
