If you call looking to understand Constitutional law, reading legislation rather than blindly fearing it, and trying to be informed on the issues rather than ignorant and afraid of them, perhaps I'm naive. It's easy to be afraid of something when you don't know what it will do, how it will apply, and you only fear the worst. Sort of like a child being afraid of the unknown, when it's dark and they can't see. It's better to educate yourself about what something is and how it affect you, rather than just sitting in the dark and proclaiming it's evil. Again, I'm not saying this treaty is a good thing. I'm just saying that we don't know how bad it is, or whether it will even affect individual firearm ownership/purchases in the United States. Foaming at the mouth over it, before you even understand the scope and extent of its effects, is just silly.
Also, if you think politicians don't have constitutional lawyers on staff and consult with these people before enacting legislation, you're the one that's being naive. The difference is that educated lawyers can disagree as to whether a particular act is constitutional or not (as evidenced by 5-4 SCOTUS votes). Layman just love to look at a Constitutional issue and proclaim oh that's obviously constitutional or obviously unconstitutional, when they've only read the plain text of the Constitution (if that) and know nothing about the subject of Constitutional law. You can't ask for better evidence than that nonsense distorting our the Supremacy clause and suggesting that treaties trump the plain text of our Constitution.
