Are local governments in Arkansas allowed to enact gun control laws stricter than state law?

  1. Yes

  2. No

  3. Only with state approval

  4. Only in special circumstances

The correct answer is: No

Local governments in Arkansas are not permitted to enact gun control laws that are stricter than state law. The Arkansas Constitution and state statutes establish a uniform set of gun laws that are designed to ensure consistency across the state. This means that no city or county can impose regulations that conflict with or exceed the regulations set forth by state law regarding firearms. This preemption of local ordinances by state law promotes clarity and stability in gun ownership regulations, making it easier for residents to understand their rights and responsibilities regardless of where they live in the state.
