TRUTH

Not true. Under the Initiative, you will pay a new $25 tax on all sales and transfers of these guns, face a longer waiting period, and be subject to expanded background check and documentation requirements. To be eligible to buy or acquire these guns, you will have to show proof of having completed the new training required. You will be prohibited from selling or transferring the gun unless the sale or transfer complies with the new restrictions (for example, no sales to anyone under 21). In addition to the $25 tax, the cost of acquiring an “assault rifle” (any semi-automatic rifle) will have to include the fee for the new training and any fees gun dealers will add to cover their time and expenses in complying with this new law. The storage law in the Initiative will restrict how you store the gun (and any other firearms) at home and in all other places, and impose criminal liability for a violation.
