Choices for gun owners
Millions of dollars are coming from out of state through Mayor Bloomberg’s Safe Schools Safe Communities gun ban group. Gun owners are going to lose their Second Amendment rights through initiatives not ever going through Congress.
Initiative 594, in 2014, allowed anyone to turn you in to the police if they think you should not have a gun and registered your guns through transactions. I-1693 creates a new bureaucracy under state licensing having the authority to review anyone’s records, including medical, who owns a pistol or semiautomatic weapon, at least once a year. Why do unelected individuals have access to this information and legal gun owners are the criminals made to fund the initiative?
If that’s not bad enough, state officials are immune from fault. You can be found guilty of a felony for not storing your guns properly and someone steals your guns. You can enter the service of your country at 18, but you cannot buy a semi-auto weapon no caliber, magazine capacity, style, age, designation, grandpa’s old 22 (still a semi-auto) and your brain is not functioning as an adult under 21. This eliminates two-thirds of gun choices for those under 21.
