SB59 prohibits the enforcement of any federal gun laws toward all personal firearms, firearms accessories, or ammunition “that is manufactured commercially or privately in Arkansas and that remains within the borders of Arkansas.”
The Arkansas State Senate passed SB59 on April 1, 2021 by a vote of 28 to 7. We have assigned pluses to the ayes because the fundamental right of the American people to keep and bear arms is protected by the U.S. Constitution, particularly in the 2nd, 9th, and 10th Amendments, and should not be infringed. Furthermore, under Article VI of the U.S. Constitution, states have a duty to nullify infringements by the federal government.
