I did a search for "The Good, The Bad, The Ugly" under Talyn's above "Independent Institute" and looks like this may be the one.

Ballot Initiatives: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly | Stephen P. Halbrook
The season has passed for gathering signatures for voter initiatives in the 24 states that allow them, so firearm-prohibition outfits with fuzzy names are finished trying to get gun bans--things that couldn't make it through the state legislatures--on state ballots this November. A few very bad...

Looks like it was also posted by the NRA.

Excerpt for my state.
"Finally, good news from Montana, as the Limit Local Government Authority to Regulate Firearms Measure will be on the ballot as a legislatively referred state statute on Nov. 3. Missoula is one of the localities with restrictions, which state law currently allows. Instead of being a citizen initiative, the legislature enacted a bill to submit to the voters the issue of whether localities may restrict the carrying of permitted concealed firearms. Against a challenge by the Montana Federation of Public Employees, the state Supreme Court agreed with the attorney general that the ballot statement fairly and impartially explains the measure."
Based on this Missoula basically was given the middle-finger by the state since they violated the states' preemption law, and this initiative will close out any questions.
