FULL TEXT OF I-2050 CITIZEN BALLOT INITIATIVE:
----------
----------
Initiative Measure No. 2050
Filed March 19, 2024
AN ACT Relating to firearms; and creating a new section.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF WASHINGTON:
NEW SECTION. Sec. 1. We, the people of Washington state, demand that every constitutional right be respected to the fullest extent. None of our rights should be at the mercy of sensationalized fear and emotional misinformation! House Bill 1240 was passed under the false assumption that it would cut down on the "explosion of gun violence" with no regard for not only the constitutionality of the ban, but also the house bill’s effect on law abiding citizens legally practicing inalienable rights. If we continue to restrict citizens and businesses from one of the most consistent, common, safe, and modern class of firearm in America, not only will be turning our back on the very constitution that this country was founded on, we also put more young or first time Washington state gun owners at a disadvantage, against those who had no intention in respecting any law in the first place. HS.1240 must be repealed due to its clear infringement on our second amendment right, although well intentioned, any weapons ban of any arms will only change the tool in which evil is carried out. Until we switch our focus from restricting the law abiding citizens to those who carry out that evil, and how they got to that point, we will never address the true underlining issues within our society.

ETA: I believe the petitions are paper ballots that must be mailed or submitted. No online link to a signature form is present.
