Sign to Protect Your Civil Rights

The legislature and governor claim that “An Act Modernizing Firearm Laws” will reduce Gun Violence, Violent Crime and Ghost Guns. Yet within the 116 Page Bill, only 10 sentences out of 2,455 actually address Ghost Guns (Page 25 of 116). This bill does nothing to address violent crime by criminals. It imposes no additional penalties for crimes committed with firearms by criminals.

Instead, it mandates law abiding citizens to full registration of all guns, including muzzle loaders, enforces burdensome licensing on retailers, and bans magazines over 10 rounds, even prohibiting the transfer of those legally owned.

The law also requires a live-fire test, despite limited access to public ranges, state not owning and operating any public ranges, and establishes multiple government registration and tracking databases, including one for lawful gun owners and another for issuing firearm serial numbers.

Note: The legislature has provided NO funding to the government agencies for any part of this bill.

By initiating this recall petition, the sponsors are simply asking these changes to become a question on the ballot in 2026, something that was denied through the legislative process because of closed hearings, the legislature “suspending the rules” multiple times on the normal handling of a bill, and their refusal to honestly engage in the content of the bill.
