WASHINGTON — According to an article on The Hill,

Sen. James Inhofe (R-Okla.) introduced an amendment that would prevent the United States from entering into the United Nations Arms Trade Treaty in order to uphold the Second Amendment. His amendment passed on a 53-46 vote.

The vote was along party lines with Democrats voting against the Constitution and Republicans voting for Second Amendment rights.

The Hill did report:

Senator Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.) offered an alternative amendment that clarified that under current U.S. law, treaties don’t trump the Constitution and that the United States should not agree to any arms treaty that violates the Second Amendment rights. His amendment passed by voice vote.

The Supreme Court has ruled in The Cherokee Tobacco Case (78 U.S. 616, 20 L.Ed. 227, 11 Wall. 616 in 1870) and United States v. Wong Km Ark, (169 U.S. 649, 18 S.Ct. 456, 42 L.Ed. 890, 1898) that treaties cannot supercede the Constitution of the United States of America.
