Second Amendment Protection Act of 2005

The Second Amendment Protection Act of 2005 (H.R. 3436) proposes to withhold all United States funding from the United Nations unless the President can certify that the international organization has not taken steps to restrict the firearm rights of American citizens. Specifically, the bill seeks to prevent the U.S. government from financing any international entity that attempts to tax, regulate, or otherwise infringe upon the legal possession of firearms or ammunition within the United States. If enacted, the practical impact would be a total suspension of U.S. financial contributions to the UN for any fiscal year in which the organization is found to be interfering with domestic Second Amendment rights.
