                               RESOLUTION


 
  Urging the President to reject any decree, proclamation, or treaty 
   adopted by the United Nations Conference on Small Arms and Light 
  Weapons which would infringe on the right of United States citizens 
              under the 2nd amendment to the Constitution.

    Resolved, That--
            (1) it is the sense of the House of Representatives that 
        the 2nd amendment to the United States Constitution guarantees 
        citizens the right to keep and bear arms, and that any 
        conference, resolution, or treaty of the United Nations 
        infringing on this right would be in conflict with article 6 
        of, and the 2nd amendment to, the United States Constitution; 
        and
            (2) the House of Representatives urges the President to 
        reject any decree, proclamation, treaty, or other official 
        document adopted by the United Nations Conference on Small Arms 
        and Light Weapons which would infringe on the right of United 
        States citizens under the 2nd amendment to the Constitution.
