the rights provided by the Second Amendment to the Constitution, and 
for other purposes. 
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES 
JULY 26, 2005 
Mr. BOUSTANY (for himself and Mr. WILSON of South Carolina) introduced 
the following bill; which was referred to the Committee on International 
Relations 
A BILL 
To withhold funding from the United Nations if the United 
Nations abridges the rights provided by the Second 
Amendment to the Constitution, and for other purposes. 
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representa-
tives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, 
SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE. 
This Act may be cited as the ‘‘Second Amendment 
Protection Act of 2005’’. 
SEC. 2. FINDINGS. 
Congress makes the following findings: 
(1) The United States is steadfast in its com-
mitment to the Second Amendment to the Constitu-
tion of the United States, which provides that the 
right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not 
be infringed. 
(2) The United Nations Program of Action to 
Prevent, Combat and Eradicate the Illicit Trade in 
Small Arms and Light Weapons in All Its Aspects 
calls for actions that could abridge the Second 
Amendment rights of individuals in the United 
States, including through the establishment of— 
(A) a comprehensive program for world-
wide gun control; 
(B) an international tracking certificate 
which would be used to ensure United Nations 
monitoring control over the export, import, 
transit, stocking, and storage of legal small 
arms and light weapons; 
(C) worldwide record keeping, for an in-
definite amount of time, on the manufacture, 
holding, and transfer of small arms and light 
weapons; and 
(D) national registries and tracking lists of 
all legal firearms. 
(3) The United Nations has encouraged mem-
ber states of the United Nations to integrate meas-
ures to control ammunition with regard to small
arms, contrary to the rights guaranteed to citizens 
of the United States under the Second Amendment, 
and some member states have expressed a desire to 
tax international arms sales and for a total ban on 
certain types of firearms. 
SEC. 3. SENSE OF CONGRESS. 
It is the sense of Congress that the United States 
should not provide financial support to international enti-
ties that abridge the constitutionally protected rights of 
law-abiding citizens of the United States to keep and bear 
arms. 
SEC. 4. LIMITATION ON UNITED NATIONS FUNDING. 
(a) IN GENERAL.—Notwithstanding any other provi-
sion of law, the United States may not provide any fund-
ing to the United Nations for a fiscal year unless, prior 
to the last day of the preceding fiscal year, the President 
makes the certification described in this subsection (b). 
(b) CERTIFICATION.—The certification referred to in 
subsection (a) is a certification submitted to Congress by 
the President that states that the United Nations has not 
taken action to restrict, attempt to restrict, or otherwise 
adversely infringe upon the rights of individuals in the 
United States to possess a firearm or ammunition, includ-
ing the imposition of a tax that will interfere with the right 
to own a firearm or ammunition.
