The resolution proposes an amendment to the Constitution of Missouri that would repeal Section 23 of Article I and replace it with a new section concerning the right to bear arms. This new section affirms the right of citizens to keep and bear arms, ammunition, and related accessories for the defense of their home, family, and property. It emphasizes that these rights are unalienable and any restrictions on them would be subject to strict scrutiny. The amendment also allows the General Assembly to enact laws that limit the rights of convicted violent felons or individuals deemed a danger to themselves or others due to mental health issues.

Additionally, the resolution outlines that local governments, such as counties and cities, may regulate the possession, carrying, or transfer of firearms through ordinances. These ordinances can include provisions for issuing permits or certificates, which may involve fees and background checks. The resolution also specifies that such ordinances can apply to nonresidents and must recognize valid permits from other jurisdictions. Penalties for violations of these ordinances are capped at a fine of $1,000 or up to one year of imprisonment, and law enforcement may seize firearms from individuals legally ineligible to possess them. The amendment is set to be voted on during the general election in November 2026 or at a special election called by the governor.
