Voters will get to decide about gun control measures in November in four states.

Voters in four states will decide ballot measures relating to gun control this November. In Maine and Nevada, voters will decide whether to expand background check requirements to include private gun sales.

In Washington, voters will decide whether to take guns out of the hands of people who are subject to extreme risk protection orders, which include restraining orders and people at risk of suicide.
And in California, voters will decide whether to ban the possession of large-capacity magazines. The California measure, Proposition 63, would also require individuals to pass a background check before purchasing ammunition.

“2016 will be the year of gun sense,” said Kate Folmar, a spokeswoman at Everytown for Gun Safety, the group funded by former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg. “If elected leaders themselves won’t change the laws that make it too easy for dangerous people to get weapons, the American people will change them themselves.”

      I was going to say “you’ll shoot your eye out” from The Christmas Story movie.
      I guess I just did. :)

    I see that no traditional Repulsive states have gun control on their ballots. This is going to be a long, long struggle for good, common sense gun control measures. Of course Repulsives and common sense are severely conflicted….

      Gun death statistics ten years from now will paint a clear picture.

    I’m not sure who said it but it was on the few minutes of Chris Hayes show I watched this evening. She said that the Clinton campaign is going to be temporarily talking less about guns for now because they are looking at picking up possibly more red states the way things are going?
