On March 23rd at 4:30 AM the US Senate in a vote 53 to 46 (51% required) that prevented the approval of the UN Small Arms Treaty by approving the amendment to uphold the 2nd Amendment of the Bill of Rights to the US Constitution:

As I understand what was done here, this effectively puts an end to the UN treaty in the US. But you should look to see how your Senator voted on whether to uphold the US Constitution or not. My idea is a Nay vote gets a boot next election, regardless. If you swore to uphold and defend and you voted Nay you need to be impeached.
