The resolution proposes an amendment to the Arkansas Constitution, specifically Article 2, Section 5, to explicitly protect the right of citizens to keep and bear arms. The intent of the amendment is to affirm this right as a natural, fundamental, and individual right that cannot be infringed upon. It outlines that citizens may keep and bear arms for common defense, lawful hunting, recreational use, and any other lawful purpose. Additionally, the amendment clarifies that this right includes the possession and use of ammunition, firearm accessories, and components.

If approved by a majority of voters in the next general election, the amendment will become part of the Arkansas Constitution and will take effect on January 1, 2027. The resolution also stipulates that any restrictions on the right to keep and bear arms must be narrowly tailored to serve a compelling state interest. The proposed amendment will be presented to voters under the title "A Constitutional Amendment to Amend Arkansas Constitution, Article 2, Section 5, to Protect the Right to Keep and Bear Arms."
