爱达荷州选民以压倒性优势支持温彻斯特1873型步枪作为官方州枪，击败了其他五款枪支。
Idaho voters overwhelmingly supported the Winchester Model 1873 rifle as the official state gun over five other guns.
据美联社报道，截至周三早些时候，该步枪获得约31%的选票，温彻斯特1894型以约25%位居第二。
The rifle garnered around 31 percent of the vote as of early Wednesday morning, with the Winchester Model 1894 behind at around 25 percent, according to The Associated Press.
据《Field & Stream》杂志介绍，温彻斯特1873型曾是1955年电影《征服西部的枪》的焦点，旧西部著名人物“水牛比尔”曾宣称它是“老大”。
The Winchester Model 1873 was the focus of a 1955 film “The Gun that Won the West” and Buffalo Bill — a famous figure in the Old West — declared that it was “The Boss,” according to Field & Stream.
美国国家公园管理局指出，它主要作为“平民百姓”的步枪而普及，1873年至1916年停产期间共制造了720,610支。它是在康涅狄格州纽黑文研发的。
The National Park Service stated it was majorly popularized as “everyman’s” rifle, noting that 720,610 were manufactured between 1873 and 1916, when production ended. It was developed in New Haven, Conn.
州议员表示，这项咨询性投票让六款枪支角逐，旨在纪念美国建国250周年。提出该咨询的立法引用了该州与枪支的悠久历史，包括“公民民兵”在独立战争中“拿起长枪以捍卫自由”。“在爱达荷州，梅里韦瑟·刘易斯和威廉·克拉克等探险家在1805年至1806年穿越爱达荷荒野、狩猎和防范危险时，都依靠步枪生存，”立法续称。
The Idaho advisory, which pitted six guns against one another, was to commemorate the U.S.’s 250th anniversary, state legislators said. The legislation that proposed the advisory cited the county’s long history with guns, including “citizen militias” arming themselves “with long rifles in the Revolutionary War to secure liberty.”“In Idaho, explorers, such as Meriwether Lewis and William Clark in 1805 through 1806, depended on rifles for survival while crossing Idaho’s wilderness, hunting game and protecting against dangers,” it continued.
这项投票在爱达荷州不具约束力，州议员仍需在2027年立法会议上考虑立法，正式指定选民的选择。
This vote is nonbinding in Idaho, as state lawmakers still have to consider legislation to formally designate the voter’s choice in a 2027 legislative session.
过去15年里，已有11个州选定了州枪，犹他州和亚利桑那州是2011年最早采纳的两个州。犹他州选定了由犹他州本地人约翰·勃朗宁设计的勃朗宁M1911，亚利桑那州则选择了柯尔特单动式陆军左轮手枪，也被称为“和平制造者”。“和平制造者”连同雷明顿700型栓动步枪、柯尔特M1911和M1加兰德步枪是爱达荷州选民的其他备选项。
Eleven other states have selected a state gun in the last 15 years, with Utah and Arizona being the first to adopt their choices in 2011. Utah picked the Browning M1911, which was designed by Utah native John Browning, while Arizona chose the Colt Single Action Army revolver, also known as the “Peacemaker.”The “Peacemaker” alongside the Remington Model 700 bolt-action rifle, Colt M1911 and M1 Garand rifle were the other options for Idaho voters.
