The ‘Cut-And-Paste’ Problem with Initiative 1639

When the authors of Initiative 1639—the 30-page, multi-faceted gun control measure now facing Washington voters on the November ballot—defined a “semiautomatic assault rifle,” they created a split among firearms owners, leaving some to believe the authors to be “gun ignorant” or just incompetent, while others think they are trying to ensnare every self-loading rifle in the state with a wide net.

Dumb, they (the anti's) are not. That was a very clever way to insert an appeal to the emotion of fear into the petitioned voters. And as it garnered appeal for their initiative it was a broad stroke against ALL semi automatic firearms.

These folks aren't dumb. They are well organized, strategic, energetic and vocal... and patient. They are playing a long game.

They know that preemption stands in the way of enacting bans, piece by piece, and understand that it is a powerful means for eroding our opposition - not all at once - but in efficient, and effective chunks.

We have our work cut out to defend our rights against this onslaught.

Preemption is next. Don't let down your guard and start WORKING.

There seems to be words missing off the following paragraph in your article?
"Still, they are up against a formidable and well-financed gun prohibition lobby that has already invested more than $4 million to get the measure on the ballot. Bankrolled by billionaires, the I-1639 campaign"
??
If it matters, and you are counting for some reason, the page 12 quote appears to have another error, otherwise *this part* makes no sense in english...
"“A signed application to purchase a pistol or semiautomatic assault rifle shall constitute a waiver of confidentiality and written request that the health care authority, mental health institutions, and other health care facilities release, *to an inquiring court or law enforcement agency*, information relevant to the applicant’s eligibility to purchase a pistol or semiautomatic assault rifle *to an inquiring court or law enforcement agency*.”
