Gun control referendums

[sarisataka]

Since our Activism group hasn't been very active I will broach the subject here.

We all know WA has the I-59x proposals on the ballot. Are there any more referendums on guns that voters should know about?

1. Really?

Your echo chamber has only been echoing crickets? I'm not surprised.

2. Check the blocked members

in particular #14

[shedevil69taz]

3. Oh I'm quite aware I'm blocked over there...

Not blocked here though...as you are finding out...

10. What is the point you are attempting to make?

4. Dems were smart this election and stayed away from gun control for the most part.

Colorado was enough foreshadowing.

6. Here in MN

the NRA-ILA is trying to make it an issue in a couple of races. Waste of time IMO; we took the Bloomberg proposal on guns and restraining orders, removed the "gotcha" parts, put in due process and passed it with overwhelming support for the pro-gun side.

8. When Dems are smart and reasonable on the issue they have some success

especially when they take the time to consider the electorate and don't insult their intelligence. Unfortunately that doesn't happen that often.

9. Nolan made a mistake when

he made the comment about duck hunting with a rilfe. It might cost him the election.

11. I like to argue

with my friends on what is the best caliber for duck hunting. They go with 22s or .17HMR; I'm sticking with.416 Remington Magnum. I figure it will kill, clean, defeather and possibly cook the duck all at the same time. The only problem will be finding the duck.

Only one of us lives in Nolan's district and though we laugh he isn't changing his vote over it. Hopefully other gun owners see it that way too.

Edit- oops 😮

12. In Before The Typo Correction!

13. Good catch

However one of the friends I am speaking of would find that especially funny

14. Good thread, by the way - I'm surprised there are so few

The only semi-relevant proposition in CA is Prop 47: Reduced Penalties for Some Crimes Initiative.

It's not specifically firearms related but it would affect prohibited persons (if felonies become not-felonies). Senator Feinstein in her opposition certainly sees it as gun-related...

15. I lived in the 8th

many years ago during the Oberstar days. Right now, things are not lokking good for Nolan, but the only polling that counts is at the end of the dy tomorrow.

Nolan was my U.S. Rep. When I was a kid.

5. Only referendum I'm aware of is in WA.

[sarisataka]

7. I know WA has the two

which I haven't followed closely. From what I know, I'd say no to both.

I just wondered if anywhere else put it on the ballot. Except for the zealots, it seems to be a non-issue, which is good for Dems
