Vote No on Initiative 1639 - Get the Word Out!
« on: September 06, 2018, 07:58:23 AM »
This is important to all of us... please read and take action by downloading flyers, yard signs, posters, etc. from the website listed here and get this into as many hands as possible: https://www.initiative1639.org/

I've also attached a couple pictures that you can download and use on your personal facebook page. The hunting community and Hunting-Washington members need to get involved. Let's fill social media and especially King and Pierce counties with this message.

VOTE "NO" ON INITIATIVE 1639

Washington voters who support the Second Amendment are urged to oppose Initiative 1639, which poses multiple threats to gun rights and puts law-abiding citizens in jeopardy, without any significant impact on violent crime. This lengthy (30-page) ballot initiative is just the latest in a series of gun-control ballot initiatives sponsored by the “Alliance for Gun Responsibility” and bankrolled by tech billionaires and anti-gun interest groups.

Initiative 1639 Would Make Firearms Unavailable for Self-Defense
I-1639 would require gun owners to lock up their firearms or face criminal charges. This strict mandate renders firearms useless in a self-defense situation by requiring them to be locked up. The difference between someone saving their family and becoming a victim of crime sometimes comes down to a few crucial seconds. These storage laws may steal those valuable seconds from the people who need them.

I-1639 Strips Adults Aged 18 to 20 of Their Constitutional Right to Self-Defense
Currently, adults aged 18-20 are prohibited from purchasing or receiving a handgun. I-1639 would expand the current law by prohibiting such law-abiding young adults from purchasing or receiving any semi-automatic rifle.  I-1639 would leave already vulnerable segments of the population defenseless to attack

I-1639 is unlikely to have the impact on violent crime it promises
Handguns- not rifles- are used in the majority of crimes committed with a firearm in Washington. Targeting rifle ownership will only restrict law-abiding adults from accessing them for self-defense, home protection, and hunting.

I-1639 would burden small businesses and law enforcement while placing personal information at risk.
Allows the government to collect and use gun owner information to enforce compliance and authorize gun confiscation. Under I-1639, data collected during gun sales and transfers could be used to enforce a new state “verification” process to ensure that persons are not in “illegal possession.


I-1639 Is Flawed, Misguided and Coming for You Anyway
Supporters of I-1639 hope that Washington voters believe the lies that gun control advocates have been busy spreading for decades. Don’t be fooled: The measures included here will do nothing to address the underlying causes of gun crime.


LIE
“Assault weapons” are used in most mass shootings.


TRUTH
According to a Statistica study of mass shootings between 1982 and June 2017, handguns, not rifles, are most commonly used in mass shootings. Gun control supporters are wrong to claim that “assault weapons” are used in most mass shootings. While the media focus on this false narrative, mass murders have been committed with firearms of all types, and without firearms of any type.


LIE
Initiative 1639 only regulates “assault weapons,” and won’t affect hunting rifles and target shooting guns.


TRUTH
This Initiative adopts a new and bizarre definition of a “semiautomatic assault rifle.” Under this definition, many hunting guns, competitive shooting rifles, and target-shooting guns that match the current definition of “rifle” under current Washington State law would all become “assault rifles.” This definition goes beyond what has been used in other “assault weapon” bills and sweeps in any semiautomatic rifle, regardless of configuration or caliber. Popular rimfire rifles like the Ruger 10-22, Remington 597, or Marlin Model 60, lawfully used by countless young adults for recreational target shooting and small-game hunting, are included. These aren’t “machine guns” or “weapons of war” and aren’t regulated as such by the federal government.

Yeah, I've been doing the same. Decided though, that it's time to do more. I've volunteered with the NRA to "take action" by printing flyers, posting posters, etc. I'm printing a bunch of flyers and will be handing out to my neighbors. You can download these flyers, etc. at the website.

In archery we have something like the way of the superior man. When the archer misses the center of the target, he turns round and seeks for the cause of his failure in himself.

Picked up my bumpersticker at Skagit arms when picking up some ammo. Ben had dropped them off.

"Assault Rifle"  yearly death toll less than 200 people nation wide. Heroin yearly death toll nation wide, over 70,000. Maybe we should regulate "heroin"?


Oh that's right we have laws against misuse already.. Liberals really care less about deaths just power and control.


An armed man won't be lead off into the night for re-education.. There lies the problem.
If I need a permit and education to buy a firearm than women should need a permit and education  before getting an abortion.

Voting for Democrats is prima facie evidence you are a skirt wearing, low T, beta male. Do better.

I have reached out to Ben Carpenter and other NRA folks asking for some stickers. Once they send them to me, I'll let you know how many I have and will send to whomever wants them.

I'd take a few to distribute. I know some people that would display them. I like the one kevinlisa06 displayed.
