I don't see in measure 114 where it says firearm purchase records and the database is automatically publicly accessible. OSP already keeps some information from firearm purchases and your local sheriff already keeps CHL holder information. From what I read in 114 the record and database is who has permits. Databases like that are not accessible to the public.… and this included the entry and registration of the permit holder's personal information (residence, # of firearms, what firearms, phone numbers, etc?) Into a public database that can be searched by anyone who wants that info.
I am not arguing for 114. I am pointing out there is some misinformation getting passed around that distorts the fight against this measure. We should be focusing the fight against needing permission to purchase a firearm and not being allowed to purchase and use standard capacity magazines found in commonly used firearms.
If one of my arguments to a judge against the measure was the data base contains records of what firearms permit holders have and is publicly searchable, I don't think a judge would see that in the measure. The misleading argument would discredit other valid arguments I did have.
