Already voted - Yes on 594, No on 591. Am I under the illusion that these measures will make a difference? No. But it appears that we have a new dynamic in this State with initiatives. They no longer are just used to make law, they are designed to send a "message". In this case, the message (if the votes are as mine) is to the 2nd Amendment cartel (NRA, Washington Arms, 2nd Amendment Foundation, etc.) that you can not continue to protect 2nd Amendment rights through the continual fear of confiscation. Reasonable measures of control (which the US Supreme Court has already approved) do not equate to the slippery slope where guns get confiscated.

I also get the fact that both sides of this debate resort to emotional arguments to push their position. Evidently, that sort of approach works in the US. Go figure.....
