Member organizations

The International Association for the Protection of Civilian Arms Rights has 29 groups from 21 countries on 6 continents representing tens of millions of firearm owners.

Recent campaigns

IAPCAR has recently mounted a strong campaign in opposition to the United Nations Arms Trade Treaty on their member's behalf along with the National Rifle Association, the National Shooting Sports Foundation, and The Heritage Foundation.[7] One of the co-founders of IAPCAR, Julianne Vernsel, submitted testimony to the Arms Trade Treaty conference objecting to the exclusion of civilian's arms rights from the treaty. They also strongly objected to the lack of acknowledgement or protection of civilian arms rights or recognizing the right to self-defense in its enforceable language.[8][9]
