Thanks to Defense Minister, Oathkeeper1775 and others for posting their letters on this forum. I borrowed some language from some and ended up with a condensed version that I feel accomplishes the goal. I added parts to the suggested ballot title since that has not got much mention. One little itty bitty part could be enough to earn you a class b felony if that part allowed you to complete a prohibited firearm or magazine. Here is my letter, let me know what you think:

Subject IP 43 Draft Ballot Title dispute
Dear Madam Attorney General Rosenblum,
The current Draft Ballot Title for Initiative Petition 43 is misleading by omission and does not adequately describe the full and far-reaching effects this Initiative Petition could have on hundreds of thousands of law-abiding Oregonians. The terms used in the current Draft Ballot Title are ambiguous and do not accurately describe the scope of weapons, magazines and parts that if possessed or transferred would be punishable by Class B Felony. A more appropriate and accurate Draft Ballot Title would read as follows:
'Criminalizes possession or transfer of semi-automatic firearms, parts and their magazines (defined); exceptions'.
Thank you for your consideration
