The referendum was designed to overturn Assembly Bill 1511 (AB 1511). AB 1511 requires that firearms be loaned through an intermediary firearms dealer, except in cases of loans between specified relatives.[1] ## Text of measure ### Ballot title The official ballot title was as follows:[2] “ | Referendum to Overturn Law Regulating Loans of Firearms.[3] | ” | | ### Ballot summary The official ballot summary was as follows:[2] “ | If signed by the required number of registered voters and timely filed with the Secretary of State, this petition will place on the statewide ballot a challenge to a state law previously approved by the Legislature and the Governor. The challenged law must then be approved by a majority of voters at the next statewide election to go into effect. The law would exempt only loans among specified relatives from a general requirement that firearms be loaned through an intermediary firearms dealer, and would require loaned handguns to be registered to the lender.[3] | ” | | ### Full text The full text of the measure is available here. ## Path to the ballot See also: California signature requirements * Barry Bahrami submitted a letter requesting a title and summary on July 15, 2016. * A title and summary were issued by the California Attorney General's office on July 25, 2016. * Supporters were required to collect 365,880 valid signatures by September 29, 2016, for qualification purposes. * Proponents submitted signatures by the September 29 deadline. * The California Secretary of State announced that the measure failed to collect enough valid signatures on October 11, 2016. ## State profile Demographic data for California | California| U.S. Total population:| 38,993,940| 316,515,021 Land area (sq mi):| 155,779| 3,531,905 Race and ethnicity** White:| 61.8%| 73.6% Black/African American:| 5.9%| 12.6% Asian:| 13.7%| 5.1% Native American:| 0.7%| 0.8% Pacific Islander:| 0.4%| 0.2% Two or more:| 4.5%| 3% Hispanic/Latino:| 38.4%| 17.1% Education High school graduation rate:| 81.8%| 86.7% College graduation rate:| 31.4%| 29.8% Income Median household income:| $61,818| $53,889 Persons below poverty level:| 18.2%| 11.3% Source: U.S. Census Bureau, "American Community Survey" (5-year estimates 2010-2015) Click here for more information on the 2020 census and here for more on its impact on the redistricting process in California. * * * **Note: Percentages for race and ethnicity may add up to more than 100 percent because respondents may report more than one race and the Hispanic/Latino ethnicity may be selected in conjunction with any race.
