Right. The treaty is at
http://www.oas.org/juridico/English/treaties/a-63.html. The
"Signatories and Ratifications" web page
[http://www.oas.org/juridico/English/sigs/a-63.html] indicates that the
US signed it on 11/14/97, but has not yet ratified it.

John Barrasso, interviewed at about 1:50 into the CNN piece, and I have
talked about this. It takes a 2/3rds vote to ratify a treaty.

Gun Owners of America's analysis is at
