Fortunately, WA state does not take a lot of direction from the NRA. We locals are pretty good at weeding out the anti-gun nonsense on our own, and the NRA actively defers to us most of the time.

Unfortunately for I-594, it is a bad implementation of a good idea. Until we get a better implementation of universal background checks, we are better off without I-594.
