I knew it was en route. Now we have confirmation.
Gun Control Advocates Look to 2014 for Initiative Campaign
Olympia – A new state gun-control advocacy group is preparing to announce a 2014 initiative campaign centered on expanded background checks, according to several leaders of the group.
The ballot measure, which would be Washington state’s first gun-related measure since a high-profile failure in 1997, would start as an initiative to the Legislature. If lawmakers did not approve the proposal next session, it would go before voters in November 2014.
All we can hope for is that enough civil rights loving folks come out to vote next year so as to drown out King County. Otherwise, we could very well be fucked.
This is something I want to stay on top of. I will be volunteering with the opposition to this nonsense. I am sick of this BS. We need to stop reacting and start pushing. I’d like to see an Initiative for Class III in Washington; Vermont-style Constitutional carry, etc. Letting the other side choose the engagement and define the battle space is not a winning strategy.
