S.R. 96 Summary

• Urges the U.S. Congress to propose and pass a constitutional amendment clarifying the Second Amendment's scope regarding the right to bear arms.

• Requests Congress to consider whether the Second Amendment should be repealed or amended to establish that the right to bear arms is a collective right rather than an individual right.

• Cites concerns about mass shootings at schools, workplaces, and public events as justification for reconsidering Second Amendment protections.

• References the Supreme Court's shift from the "collective rights theory" in United States v. Miller (1939) to the "individual right theory" in District of Columbia v. Heller (2008).

• Directs certified copies of the resolution to be transmitted to the President Pro Tempore of the U.S. Senate, Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives, Hawaii's congressional delegation, and the Governor.
