Voters in WA State Pass Massive Gun Control Initiative

For months, gun control advocates in Washington State have peddled initiative 1639, which moves to create stricter firearms laws. On Tuesday, 60 percent of Washingtonians voted in favor of ballot measure, the Seattle Times reported.

Specifically, i-1639 will:

• Raise the age someone can purchase a rifle to 21.
• Create an "enhanced background check system similar to what is used for handguns."
• Require a person to complete a firearms safety training course.
• Create a common stand for secure gun storage.

Those in favor of the measure believe that even further gun laws will prevent mass shootings.

“My generation has been defined by gun violence. We have been defined by continued and repeated inaction by our elected officials,” Stephen Paolini, 22-year-old campaign manager for 1-1639, told supporters on Tuesday. “I hope tonight this victory is a message to our elected officials: Enough is enough.”

Alan Gottlieb, the Founder and Executive Vice President of the Second Amendment Foundation, said he's prepared to go to court to challenge the legality of the measure.

Well this is very unfortunate turn for this state in particular. Now they will be defenseless against the ever present danger of Sasquatches.

Nah. Nobody east of the left coast will pay it any mind at all.
