Do not merge section 1 & 2 regulations on firearms licenses - 122,793 Signatures

(Estimated Final Signatures: 122,954 - 7 added in the past 24hrs)

Keep section 1 firearm & section 2 shotgun licensing separate. I think this would help to protect law-abiding owners, the shooting industry, & rural communities. Policies should focus on real public safety issues without burdening responsible citizens or damaging heritage & livelihoods.
