The proposed resolution seeks to amend Article 2, Section 5 of the Arkansas Constitution to explicitly protect the right of citizens to keep and bear arms. The amendment emphasizes that this right is fundamental and individual, and it outlines the purposes for which arms may be kept and borne, including common defense, lawful hunting, recreational use, and any other lawful purpose. Additionally, it specifies that the right encompasses the possession and use of ammunition, firearm accessories, and components. Any restrictions on this right must be narrowly tailored to serve a compelling state interest.

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 establishes a ballot title and popular name for the amendment, which will be presented to the electorate as "A Constitutional Amendment to Amend Arkansas Constitution, Article 2, Section 5, to Protect the Right to Keep and Bear Arms."
