Bill Summary

Prohibited weapons; definition repeal

AI Summary

This resolution proposes an amendment to Arizona's weapon definitions statute, primarily focused on modifying the definition of "prohibited weapons" by removing several previous restrictions. The key changes include eliminating previous prohibitions on firearm suppressors, automatic firearms, short-barreled rifles and shotguns, while maintaining restrictions on items like bombs, grenades, improvised explosive devices, and containers with flammable liquids. The resolution explicitly states its legislative intent to "restore to the people their right to keep and bear arms without infringement by the State of Arizona" and is officially titled the "Shall Not Be Infringed Act". If approved by voters, the measure would modify existing law to expand firearm and weapon ownership rights by removing several existing weapon classification restrictions. The resolution requires the Secretary of State to place the proposition on the next general election ballot, allowing Arizona voters to directly decide whether to adopt these changes to weapon definitions and restrictions.
