IT’S CRUNCH TIME<\/strong><\/p>\n

BALLOTS WENT IN THE MAIL TODAY<\/strong><\/p>\n

THE FUTURE OF GUN RIGHTS IN WASHINGTON IS IN YOUR HANDS<\/strong><\/p>\n

VOTE NO ON 594\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 VOTE YES ON 591<\/strong><\/p>\n

VOTE NOW<\/strong><\/p>\n

While the campaigning will go on for another 18 days, ballots went in the mail today.\u00a0 You’ll receive yours with a day or three.\u00a0 Washington is one of four 100% vote-by-mail states; no lining up at a polling place to cast your ballot.\u00a0 The one in your mail box is the only one you’ll get.\u00a0 A disadvantage of vote-by-mail is no ID is required to get the ballot — whoever has access to your mail box has access to your ballot.\u00a0 Look for it, open it, fill it out, and get it back in the mail.<\/p>\n

GOAL just funded a special mailing of 100,000+ postcards to 11 selected districts we believe are critical to the election.\u00a0 You may or may not receive one.\u00a0 The NRA has done the same thing with its nearly 100,000 members in Washington.\u00a0 GOAL postcards started arriving on Friday, 17 October.<\/p>\n

Those of you who read my monthly legislative news column in the Washington Arms Collector’s Gun-News have already read most of this.\u00a0 But for the many GOAL Post subscribers who are not WAC members, here’s some background on the endorsement process.<\/p>\n

I used two guiding principles in preparing the list, which was provided to the Washington Arms Collectors for their approval, and to the GOAL trustees for the same.\u00a0 The first was to identify and start the list with those “righteous Democrats” who have been supporting Washington’s gun owners for the past decade or more.\u00a0 (More on those selections later.)\u00a0 We owe them.<\/p>\n

Next up was pro-gun Republicans, followed by “any Republican.”\u00a0 We have endorsed a few Libertarian candidates when Washington’s “high two” system left no more suitable candidate.\u00a0 (For the record, I’m a conservative “small-l Libertarian; but we live in a two party system, and your chances of winning election if you do not have an (R) or a (D) after your name are almost impossible.\u00a0 I know many libertarian elected officials, but all ran as Republicans.) \u00a0Finally, there are several “No recommendation” listings.\u00a0 In these cases, neither of the candidates would do anything to enhance gun rights in Washington.<\/p>\n

Why support Republicans who are weak on the gun issue?\u00a0 Because it solidifies Republican control of a chamber (House or Senate), if that can be achieved.\u00a0 And with strong pro-gun leadership in both chambers, we don’t have to worry how they might vote because bad bills will never make it to the floor for a vote.<\/p>\n

There are a couple (literally, two) of dual endorsements on the list, the “xxx OR yyy” candidates.\u00a0 I don’t like dual endorsements.\u00a0 It tends to confuse voters.\u00a0 But sometimes you have to do what you have to do.<\/p>\n

I’ve received half a dozen calls already today regarding the candidates listed on our postcards, or listed in the WAC Gun-News.\u00a0 Most disagreement focused on the Democrats we endorsed.\u00a0 The big questions was “WHY?”\u00a0 I’ll use the following two examples to answer;<\/p>\n

The Democrats had solid control of the legislature from 2001 to 2013.\u00a0 In 2013, two Democrats sided with the (then) 23 Republicans in the state Senate to revolt and seize control, calling themselves the “Majority Coalition Caucus”.\u00a0 So for two years, control of the legislature has been split, but the Democrats retained solid control of the House.<\/p>\n

In the past 13 years, more than 50 anti-gun bills have been filed — “assault weapon” bans, “gun show loophole,” universal background checks, expanded public place bans, etc, etc.\u00a0 You name it, it was filed.\u00a0 But none passed.\u00a0 Why?<\/p>\n

Because a handful of Democrats in the legislature, House and Senate both, stood WITH their constituents and AGAINST their leadership and their more liberal Democrat colleagues, at great political risk to themselves.\u00a0 Several were threatened with primary challenges, and in Senator Tim Sheldon’s case that’s where we are today.\u00a0 This handful of Democrats, with the Republican minority, were able to block all of the anti-gun legislation proposed.<\/p>\n

We owe those Democrats.\u00a0 Big time.\u00a0 I\/we don’t agree with them on every issue, but we all agree on the gun issue. \u00a0And that’s what this is all about. \u00a0Preserving our gun rights.<\/p>\n

Specifically regarding Representative Pat Sullivan, Pat is the House Majority leader, the Speaker’s principal adviser on which bills to bring to the floor for a vote and which bills to let die. \u00a0Pat is the man who convinced House Speaker Frank Chopp to NOT bring House Bill (HB) 1588 up for a vote almost two years ago. \u00a0You recall HB 1588 don’t you? \u00a0It’s the universal background check bill they tried to slip through after the Newtown, Connecticut school shooting. \u00a0Pat, and six or seven of his fellow Democrats stood up to the Speaker and refused to vote for the bill, thus guaranteeing it’s defeat. \u00a0Seeing the handwriting on the wall, Speaker Chopp wisely decided to let the bill die. \u00a0We owe several Democrat Representatives for their support for gun owners, but Pat Sullivan leads the pack.<\/p>\n

Senator Tim Sheldon, the majority Coalition’s Senate President Pro Tem, has been standing with gun owners for more than 20 years. \u00a0It was his deciding vote in 1994 that killed the amendment that would have required training to obtain a concealed pistol license.\u00a0 (Don’t get me wrong, I’ve been a certified firearms safety instructor for 40 years.\u00a0 I firmly believe that anyone who chooses to exercise his or her Second Amendment rights has a moral obligation to do so safely, to the extent they can afford training. \u00a0But I don’t believe the state has any business interfering in a fundamental Constitutional right. \u00a0Just as the Supreme Court ruled poll tests were unconstitutional decades ago, so should state-mandated training.) \u00a0Tim flew around the state with us in 1997, opposing I-676, the so-called trigger lock initiative” that was actually a handgun possessor (that’s right, possessor, not just an owner) licensing bait-and-switch initiative (much as today’s I-594 is a bait-and-switch background check initiative).\u00a0 Sheldon now faces a liberal Democrat, Irene Bowling.\u00a0 We need to keep Sheldon in place to keep the Senate in Republican hands AND protect YOUR gun rights.<\/p>\n

Those two, and a handful of other brave DEMOCRATS who stand between you and just about every imaginable gun control law.<\/p>\n

If you compare the lists, you will see that the NRA and GOAL are in about 99% agreement.\u00a0 We run our endorsement process somewhat differently, however.\u00a0\u00a0 The NRA assigns grades based on known voting records for incumbents.\u00a0 They then send out questionnaires to new candidates, and based on the response to those questionnaires, assigns grades.\u00a0 They endorse specific candidates, but give you the grade rating for both candidates in the race.\u00a0 You choose.\u00a0 That’s probably a more “fair” way to do it.\u00a0 The problem with questionnaires is, candidates can lie.<\/p>\n

GOAL takes a different tack.\u00a0 GOAL only lists a single candidate for each position, in effect a push-poll to direct you to the candidate we believe best suits the interests of Washington gun owners.\u00a0 If you want “fair,” visit Puyallup in September.\u00a0 Different approach, hopefully the same result.\u00a0 I’ve provided a link to the NRA’s list below, as well as the entire GOAL endorsement list.<\/p>\n

And we have the two initiatives on the ballot.\u00a0 I’m not going to go into any real detail on either of them.\u00a0 I-594, the universal background check initiative is a wolf in sheep’s clothing, full of hidden traps and penalties.\u00a0 That’s why they needed 18 pages to accomplish what the legislature tried to do in HB 1588 in two pages.\u00a0 I-591 simply restates existing law:\u00a0 no confiscation of firearms without due process of law (as happened in New Orleans during Hurricane Katrina) and no background checks beyond those mandated by federal law.\u00a0 Some of my 10th Amendment friends are unhappy with that.\u00a0 They feel we shouldn’t support federal law, period.\u00a0 I live in a real world.\u00a0 And I’m not about to risk five years in Club Fed by violating that law, 10th Amendment or not.\u00a0 For all practical purposes, the 10th Amendment died about a century ago.<\/p>\n

The outcome of the initiative votes will have a major impact on how the gun business is conducted in Washington, and how gun shows are conducted.\u00a0 If 594 passes and becomes law, expect to pay a $25-50 FFL fee EVERY TIME you “transfer” a firearm — this includes loans as well as sales.\u00a0 And when a loan is transferred back.\u00a0 Plus a use tax nearly equal to the state sales tax.\u00a0 Yes, I-594 waives sales tax for private transfers, but if you read the fiscal note from the Office of Financial Management, you’ll see that when the sales tax is waived on the transfer of property, a “use tax” in imposed.<\/p>\n

VOTE NO ON 594. \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0VOTE YES ON 591.\u00a0\u00a0 It’s a no-brainer.<\/p>\n

It’s up to you now.\u00a0 GOAL’s endorsements, and the NRA’s, are simply suggestions: our best judgment of who will best represent your gun rights in D.C. and Olympia.\u00a0 But the choice is yours.\u00a0 And please, please, mark your ballot and get it back in the mail ASAP.\u00a0 Don’t take a chance on misplacing it, or forgetting to get it in on time.\u00a0 MAIL IT NOW.<\/p>\n
