Most guns sold are through retail sources; gun stores or licensed dealers where background checks are required. Guns legally sold face-to-face have never been a major crime problem. Instead, the problem has been criminals who have passed existing background checks, dealers who break the law, illegal street deals no law could stop, the stolen gun trade, and people with 'clean' records buying guns for felons. The initiative wouldn't stop any of these. They call it "comprehensive background checks" or "universal background checks", but in the end, it's an infringement on your Second Amendment and private property rights.

Private gun sales would be banned. You couldn't buy a gun from a friend or at a gun show without involving a dealer and paying a fee. Lending a gun would be illegal in most cases as well. Even a boyfriend-to-girlfriend transfer (including live-in couples) would be illegal.

Make sure all of your friends know the ramifications of this question on the ballot and they vote no!
