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, encompassing not only the possession of firearms but also ammunition, firearm accessories, and components. It outlines that the right to bear arms is intended for common defense, lawful hunting, recreational use, and any other lawful purpose. Furthermore, 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 the 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."
