Just a few months ago, I was at work as an attorney and the proud father to Christopher Ross Michaels-Martinez, my only son. But after Chris was killed in the mass shooting in Santa Barbara on May 23, 2014, my work suddenly seemed unimportant. I resolved to honor Chriss life and the lives of so many others who have been killed by preventable gun violence by taking action to address the heartbreaking cycle of gun violence in our communitiesand to urge others to join me in the fight.
Washington State is on the brink of taking that kind of meaningful action. I was in Washington recently, where I had the chance to share with voters why I strongly support Initiative 594, the state ballot initiative that would close the loophole in Washingtons background check system.

Roger that PRO GUN state. But, do the Seattlites carry enough weight to over-ride the ruralistas? That’s my fear. The same deal in NV. Fairly pro gun except for Vegas with all the hairy screed voting union members and some of the more “enlightened” folks in the Reno area. Only two sheriffs supported the intergalactic background checks in NV last legislative session. Clark county (vegas) and Washoe county (reno). The other 17 sheriffs did not support it.
