Arkansas voters approved a constitutional amendment adding protections for the right to keep and bear arms, with nearly 71 percent in favor. The change covers possession and use of ammunition, firearm accessories, and components for hunting, recreation, and other lawful purposes.

Lea County, New Mexico, voters passed a 0.001 percent gross receipts tax in unincorporated areas expected to generate almost one million dollars a year for legal defenses against government overreach, including challenges to new state gun control laws, by 6,665 to 5,501. Idaho voters selected the Winchester Model 1873 as the official state firearm with just over 30 percent of the vote, ahead of the Winchester Model 1894 at about 25 percent, after House Majority Leader Jason Monks of Meridian chose historically significant candidates for a measure honoring the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence.

Massachusetts Question 9 to keep Chapter 135 received about 67 percent, and Colorado Amendment 83 to establish a right to hunt and fish as the preferred wildlife management method failed with 43 percent support against 56 percent opposed.
