House Concurrent Resolution No. 5006 proposes an amendment to the Kansas Constitution to affirm the right to bear arms as a natural and fundamental right. This amendment clarifies that this right encompasses the possession and use of ammunition, firearm accessories, and firearm components. It establishes that any restrictions on this right would be subject to strict scrutiny, ensuring that such limitations are carefully examined and justified.

If approved by a two-thirds majority in both the House of Representatives and the Senate, the resolution will be placed on the ballot for a special election scheduled for August 4, 2026, coinciding with the primary election. The explanatory statement accompanying the ballot will inform voters that a "yes" vote would recognize and protect the right to keep and bear arms, while a "no" vote would maintain the current constitutional provisions without changes.
