A 9203 New York Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Relates to the right to bear and keep arms

This bill proposes a constitutional amendment to explicitly state that "the right of the people to keep and bear arms cannot be infringed." It would directly affect all residents by enshrining this right in the state constitution, making it harder for future laws to restrict firearm ownership. The amendment would be added to Article 1 of the constitution as a new Section 20, following standard procedures for constitutional changes. The bill is currently under review by the Judiciary Committee after receiving an opinion from the Attorney General.
