No on I-594

[B Mo]

I'm pretty disappointed at the lack of television commercials exposing I -594.  Where is all that NRA money that Washingtonians donated?

[rim_runner]

I don't like it when people are ready to throw the towel in when the voting hasn't even been counted. No 594 Yes 591

A recent poll showed that even 54% of those on the east side approve of 594.

it was a telephone poll of 600 people. I wouldn't give up hope yet. Only 20% of the ballots have been mailed in so far and there are over 2 million gun owners in Washington state. The more people you can get to read the entire text of I-594 the more that will see it for what it is and vote no. http://sos.wa.gov/_assets/elections/initiatives/FinalText_483.pdf

Some buddies and I were talking about some things that would even have to change in the Washington Department of Fish and wildlife Hunter Ed program.  We have all seen the video where the hunters are about to cross the fence in the forest and one Hunter hands his rifle to the other so that he could safely cross.  Clearly, those Hunters should have called an FFL and made him come all the way out there to conduct a background check before that firearm was "transferred"

My daughter was a first time Hunter this year, and I do not own a legal deer caliber in Washington smaller than .270 so I borrowed a 243 from a close friend.  That would now be illegal without getting  an FFL involved aswell.  Ridiculous!

Yep.  Lent my brother a rifle for my niece.  Felon in waiting.

Your first example would be exempt from a background check.  Your second most likely would not.

I wonder if the prosecutors (satterburg and Roe) in the TV ad will be exempt from handling a firearm in a court room trial or proceeding. Also, vice versus the defense attorney handling his clients weapon in court? Nothing in it that says they are exempt.  This initiative is so stupid and Satterburg helped write it!

this whole thing is just tearing me up! it amazes me the people that believe this crap... scary they are in the gene pool! I think we are breeding common sense right out of society! Morons....

This just happened and I am afraid this is how a lot of people see things.

I was at my daughters house for the game, started talking about 594. My son-in laws brother says, we, him and his wife,  voted yes, because we believe in the background checks. Now mind you, he owns 2 guns and shoots fairly often, but has no clue what is in these initiatives. So here is a perfect example of someone who only believes what they see on tv and now that is 2 more votes against us. People need to wake up and realize what the real world is, and stop being sheep. Why can't these people not think for themselves? Once I explained the repercussions of what he just voted for, he was very confused because that is not what tv told him.

Actually, the FFL would be involved twice.  Once when he transferred it to your daughter (assuming she is 18) and then another FFL background check to give it back to him when you were done.

If she is under 18, he would transfer it to you via a background check, you would allow her to hunt with it (in your immediate control only) and then another check to give it back to your buddy.

That isn't a burden apparently, but asking to see a driver's license at the poll is too much to ask.  I still hold that way, way more damage is done at the polling booth than is ever done with a rifle.
