Proposes constitutional amendment to establish State right to keep and bear arms.

ACR 14 proposes a constitutional amendment to explicitly protect New Jersey residents' right to keep and bear arms in the state constitution. It would amend Article I, paragraph 1 to state that "the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed," making this right explicit in state law. Currently, the state constitution protects rights like life, liberty, and property but does not specifically mention firearm ownership. If approved by voters, this amendment would require a statewide vote at the next general election following final legislative approval. The bill does not change existing gun laws but would establish a state constitutional right that aligns with the federal Second Amendment interpretation.
