The CCRKBA has helped draft a bill to withhold US funding to the UN if it continues to push its global small arms treaty.

Legislation that would withhold United States funds from the United Nations if the U.N. pushes an arms treaty that threatens the Second Amendment has been introduced by freshman Illinois Congressman Joe Walsh, and the Bellevue-based Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms helped draft it.

Some background info on the UN small arms treaty and additional reading:

“’small arms and light weapons’ will mean any man-portable lethal weapon that expels or launches, is
designed to expel or launch, or may be readily converted to expel or launch a shot, bullet or projectile
by the action of an explosive, excluding antique small arms and light weapons or their replicas. Antique
small arms and light weapons and their replicas will be defined in accordance with domestic law. In no
case will antique small arms and light weapons include those manufactured after 1899:
(a) “Small arms” are, broadly speaking, weapons designed for individual use. They include, inter alia,
revolvers and self-loading pistols, rifles and carbines, sub-machine guns, assault rifles and light machine
guns;
(b) “Light weapons” are, broadly speaking, weapons designed for use by two or three persons serving as
a crew, although some may be carried and used by a single person.”
Although small arms and light weapons are thus distinct categories of weapons, UNDP uses the
term “small arms” to cover both small arms and light weapons.
As such, this guide focuses solely upon SALW and does not include other weapons such as clubs,
knives and machetes.

It should be noted, however, that different definitions of SALW are used and
that the definitions contained in the range of regional and international instruments on SALW may
vary slightly from the definition stated above.
