While seven states attempted to put 11 citizen-led firearm referendums on the ballot this year, all failed to gather enough signatures. The proposals included both expansions of gun rights and reforms, such as banning assault weapon sales in Washington state.

No ballot will have a gun-related initiative led by voters this fall. While seven states had tried to get 11 citizen-led firearm referendums on the ballot this year, all of them failed, according to Victoria Rose, who tracks the measures for the elections database Ballotpedia. Seven of the proposals supported expanding gun rights, including one in Oregon that would have created a right to carry concealed firearms without a permit, Rose said.

' But Randy Kozuch, the executive director of the NRA Institute for Legislative Action, pointed to major ways in which gun rights have expanded in the last few years. In its first major ruling on a Second Amendment case in more than a decade, the Supreme Court in 2022 made it easier for millions of people to carry handguns in public.
