Could very well be used as a model by other Soviet states like MD, MA, RI, CA, OR, CT, NJ, and NY...

Oh c’mon now, do you real believe a Liberal Democrat would fudge numbers on a petition? (tee hee hee)
The Washington State Supreme Court will mimic the US Supreme court and pick some fairy dust nonsense that they found in the penumbra of the State Constitution, probably having to do with public health or safety, and rule that that Wyman’s duty to the greater good outweighed the plain words of law.
It was the intent of the filers of the petition to gather valid signatures, after all, and it would violate the rights of the otherwise valid signatories not to have the issue come to a vote before all the people, cuz democracy.
Any bets as to how Coach K will vote when that polished turd of legal reasoning, or something similarly insipid, gets to the US Supreme Court? Bring it, especially if it uses public safety, health or welfare as a reason to infringe on the 2A. Statists here in WA are using that song and dance to force safe injection sites on the peons.
It would be glorious for the WA Supremes to commit gun control suicide that way. I hope they are that sure of themselves that they try it. They dictate the state budget and education policy already, providing cover for the state and local gubmints to raise taxes. Perhaps they’ll see fit to take over on gun issues also.
