For months, gun control advocates in Washington State have peddled initiative 1639, which moves to create stricter firearms laws. On Tuesday, 60 percent of Washingtonians voted in favor of ballot measure, the Seattle Times reported.
Specifically, i-1639 will:
• Raise the age someone can purchase a rifle to 21. • Create an "enhanced background check system similar to what is used for handguns." • Require a person to complete a firearms safety training course. • Create a common stand for secure gun storage.
Those in favor of the measure believe that even further gun laws will prevent mass shootings.
“My generation has been defined by gun violence. We have been defined by continued and repeated inaction by our elected officials,” Stephen Paolini, 22-year-old campaign manager for 1-1639, told supporters on Tuesday. “I hope tonight this victory is a message to our elected officials: Enough is enough.”
Alan Gottlieb, the Founder and Executive Vice President of the Second Amendment Foundation, said he's prepared to go to court to challenge the legality of the measure.

Go to the courts.
This is incremental de facto destruction of the Second Amendment.
Won’t survive First Contact with the Trump Supreme Court.
“My generation has been defined by gun violence...”
No, your generation has been defined as ignorant fodder and commie ‘useful idiots’.
No, Stephan, your generation has NOT been defined by gun violence. It is seemingly defined by sentimentality, emotional outbursts, Left wing idiocacy, and a holier than thou (though it often seems it’s overrun by those in a Romans 1:18-32 condition) attitude.
Now that WA is a gun free zone the crazies have a new hunting ground free of citizen armed zealotry. They will learn what “defined by gun violence” really means.
As a Washingtonian...I will not comply.
Yo Stevie! Why does it take government bureaucrats to force you to behave in a civilized manner? Are you all morons? Are you also going to expect them to make laws about taking "selfies" to keep you idiots from killing yourselves by falling off of cliffs?
But they aunt-teefuh assclowns can run rampant all masked up and stuff. Oh well. Keep on truckin’.
“Rural counties and constituents are more and more NOT being represented by those (s)elected by the YUGE population centers. “
We are ruled by spineless urbanites. They emerge in legions from the universities to feed on us.
My late father (the widget) posted occassionally on FR during this time.
It hurts to see this pass.
And unions. Don’t forget the unions. No doubt hairy reid had some sway with the vegas unions again this (s)election cycle.
No doubt. It hurts down here to see the dems take the Gov and Lt Gov and AG spots. I know sisolack is big time anti gun. We shall see. I may be making some trips to Carson City when the next legislative session starts.
This is where the Trump supreme court will be very important.
Anyone think he’ll get another appointment through? In fact, will anything get done in the next two years? Not sure how much I trust Roberts.
Do not comply

What friggin’ idiots. There is absolutely zip, zero, nada in this bill that will stop a person intent on killing people.
Thank God for Trump and a 5-4 USSC
Those four or five counties control the whole state.
