   Adds a section

   Inserted: Sec. __. (a) Congress makes the followings findings:

   Inserted: (1) The text of the United States Constitution clearly confers upon an individual the right to bear arms.

   Inserted: (2) The United Nations Arms Trade Treaty establishes a separate category of small arms and light weapons to which all Treaty provisions must apply, which could subject firearms lawfully owned by law-abiding United States citizens to international regulation.

   Inserted: (3) The Treaty urges recordkeeping of weapons transferred or sold within the United States, which could result in the creation of a de-facto registry of law-abiding United States citizens who lawfully own firearms.

   Inserted: (b) None of the funds authorized to be appropriated by this Act or otherwise made available for fiscal year 2015 or any fiscal year thereafter for the Department of Justice may be obligated or expended to implement the Arms Trade Treaty, or to make any change to existing programs, projects, or activities as approved by Congress in furtherance of, pursuant to, or otherwise to implement the Arms Trade Treaty, unless the Arms Trade Treaty has been signed by the President, received the advice and consent of the Senate, and has been the subject of implementing legislation by Congress.

   The amendment doesn't say where this goes; the clerk decides.
