If you're in WA, this is BIG news. In June, Bloomberg and the gang came out here to spend money. They tried to get this initiative on the ballot that is the wet dream of gun ban types. If passed, it would have been the gun ban types wet dream and made WA worse than CA overnight. It would have forced me to move out of state next years instead of looking for a place in state near BLM or NF land.
In June, they said for this to be on our ballot, that they'd need nearly a quarter million signatures. I figured I was good, no WAY they'll get that many signatures in the few months they have, not what they are asking.
But that isn't what they were asking. They tied this initiative to another one having to do with grocery tax, so when you signed against the grocery tax, YOU WERE ALSO SIGNING FOR I-1639! I almost did it myself, I saw those guys in front of Walmart collecting signatures and I don't like the grocery tax and the only reason I didn't was I was just in too much of a hurry. When I went there last weekend for a tarp for the M2, it got a lot of looks and this one guy stopped to talk and he told me about the fuckaree going on with the ballots at Walmart.
The judge that shot it down did so because of "fine print too small to read" and "didn't include strikethroughs" (I'm not certain what "strikethroughs" are, I mean I have an idea but not in relation to this). The fine print being too small to read was EXACTLY what they were doing at Walmart though. "Hey! Sign up here if you don't like grocery taxes!" But that's not all you were signing for.
Now it makes total sense: the ONLY word about this initiative I've heard was the NRA report about Bloomberg coming here to blow money. Never saw an advertisement, never saw a sign, never saw anyone collecting signatures. Usually when a popular voter initiative comes up, you know it. They're everywhere. When marijuana got legalized here, there were signature collectors EVERYWHERE. Same with suppressors. Gun ban? Silence.
But it's good to know that they're number one strategy was to do it underhanded because they knew it wasn't gonna pass in the daylight. Not when you consider we were legalizing suppressors while everyone else was banning magazines. Bloomberg didn't do his homework and obviously invested too much in the Seattle hipster scene!
The moral of this story is:
DO NOT SIGN INITITIAVES WITHOUT READING THROUGH THEM COMPLETELY!
