Ballot Measure 114 WILL COST LIVES by blocking suicide prevention efforts and preventing law abiding citizens exercise their rights to the second amendment and self-defense.
BM114 will NOT:
- Impact criminal intent / actions.
- Impact actions of an individual bent on violence
- Deter domestic violence, familicide, or gang violence.
BM114 is flawed:
- The estimated 300 officers, $200M in facilities construction, and $40M annually required to complete the process is NOT resourced.
- The permit requirements are not defined,
- A 30day background check completion limit (given current 6-week backlog) means virtually all permits will be denied.
- The new permit registration database is NOT protected from public disclosure (personal and private data will be published).
- The permit process will disproportionally impact marginalized populations (women, race, income, orientation…) and prevent them from exercising their 2nd amendment rights and providing for their self-defense.
- BM114 blocks efforts to reduce suicide by firearms in our communities.
- BM114 criminalizes not only 10+ round magazines, but common shotguns used for hunting, recreation, and high school sports programs.
