The law, which targets ghost guns, expands red flag powers, and mandates licensing and training, is under fire from gun rights advocates who argue it oversteps constitutional limits and sets a dangerous precedent. Supporters, however, insist it’s a life-saving measure that doesn’t burden responsible owners, pointing to the state’s already stringent laws and low gun death rate. With no similar statewide repeal efforts elsewhere, the outcome here could ignite or quell future gun control battles across the country — making this vote not just local, but potentially national.
