> The number required to get the initiative placed on the active “list” was a little over 101 thousand. The state is only required to check 5% from each of the 4 districts for validity. More than 150 thousand would have to be falsified to get it tossed. Unless someone can prove that they didn’t reach the 27+ thousand from one of the districts, it’s going forward.
Looks like they “got” 250K signatures just in case investigators figured out 150K of them were fake....: )
They call this a “Universal Background Check” initiative. Those are the magic words to pass it by low information voters.
It is really a ban on private sales and precursor to registration initiative.
All the firearm information has the be recorded on federal forms,and all transfers and sales (with a few exceptions) have to go through federal dealers.
They do not need the firearm information for a background check.
