Bill > AJR112

This resolution proposes an amendment to Section 25 of Article I of the Wisconsin constitution to strengthen protections for the right to keep and bear arms. Specifically, the amendment would replace existing language about the right to bear arms for security, defense, hunting, recreation, or other lawful purposes with a more absolute declaration that the people have an "inalienable" right to keep and bear arms that "shall never be infringed." Furthermore, the resolution explicitly defines this right as a "fundamental individual right" that would be subject to "strict scrutiny," a legal standard that provides the highest level of judicial protection, making it more difficult for government regulations to limit gun ownership. The proposed amendment would need to be referred to the next legislature and published for three months prior to a general election, following standard constitutional amendment procedures in Wisconsin.
