Gun-control measure moves forward in Washington

The Supreme Court of Washington revealed the direction of the gun control plan in November's vote

Late in the afternoon of Friday, the court reversed the judge 's decision earlier this month and dismissed more than 300,000 signatures to the program in 1639, stating that the application format violated the election law.

Thurston County High Court Judge James Dixon once said that the petition for signing does not explicitly state that the law will change and that the font is too small to read. He ordered Secretary of State to stop certification of the bill. But the Supreme Court Judge was written by Mary Fairhurst Chief Justice and the Secretary of State said that there is no need to block the measures based on the readability and format of the proposed bar text.

The judge said, "Unless there is legislative approval, the secretary did not adhere to" a copy of legible, complete, true and correct legal copy ", so refuse to prove and propose initiatives to voters There is no doubt.

With this initiative, the purchase age of semi-automatic rifle will be 21 years old. It also expands the background check for the purchase of these rifles. This measure will require people to complete firearm safety training courses and develop standards for safely storing firearms.

In July, the I-1639 campaign sent the last batch of more than 360,000 petition signatures to the Secretary of State. They need about 260,000 people to obtain certification

Critics concluded that the main problem with the petition is that it does not include an underscore to indicate that they should be added to the law or a "strike" line to indicate the legal part to be deleted I say there is. The National Rifle Association and the Bellevue 2nd Amendment Foundation have filed lawsuits against Secretary of State Kim Wyman for an initiative to resign and insisted that those who signed the petition did not know what to do.

"This paved the way for our preparation and made it possible to put voters in the election so that I-1639 will print the ballot paper," Wyman said. "My top priority is to protect the right of Washington state citizens to use state constitutional initiatives"

The group behind this initiative is responsible for the firearms liability alliance, which explains it as a comprehensive firearm protection measure against various problems.

$ 3 million in the event of I-1639, and Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen donated 1.2 million dollars.

Washington - Back then, gun violence was a big topic in America's life, and many people on the left were seeking stricter gun control than before. The right to exercise the second amendment. Campaign advertising guns are Republican bread and butter. Republican candidates seeking support for support within the party often use guns to express their appreciation for the second amendment. However, when many Democrats of Democratic Party took a tough stance on gun control, the party became moderate in more intense areas and the country is taking a step from the Republican script.

President Obama decided to adopt various gun control measures, and Senator Diana Finestein proposed a new ban on aggressive weapons. Washington is discussing a new proposal for gun control, but it also includes the prohibition of Congress alcohol, tobacco, firearms and explosives, the establishment of a federal government gun transaction database, effective gun law law It is necessary to focus on obstacles to implementation. Discussion on the origin of the ban was based on my recommendation as a minister of finance minister who oversees the secretariat. It helped to better understand the dynamics of discussions on specific firearm regulation proposals. Sadly, the logic is still and often still a failure.
