I think it's funny a lot of gun control groups are using the above quote in the erroneous belief the court is ruling on their side, when it really just means we have to wait for someone to be charged before the law can actually be challenged. Yes, that's why I said "or" - either would give you standing. |

Yes, that's why I said "or" - either would give you standing. Thanks for clarifying. "Or...." without any other qualifiers had me think you were mimicking the usual crowd, which has been playing up the quote you copy pasted as proof that the law is somehow not infringing or injurious. It looks like from that quote they can also find someone who paid the fee and had to wait for a gun they had every right to own to have standing based on that quote. Their rights were denied unjustly. Just ask anyone doing a 594 transfer who has been delayed, which I'm sure is plenty of people. _________________ A simple explanation of why ANZAC's "Where do felons get their guns?" doesn't support his conclusions. |

(and I'm not aware of any challenges to the legality of the current dealer process based on delays) The difference was one had the alternative option of buying privately. It was left out of the Brady Act intentionally because of problems that one can encounter even as a non-prohibited person. Looks like there are no other options except to have one's rights denied for no reason for several days. _________________ A simple explanation of why ANZAC's "Where do felons get their guns?" doesn't support his conclusions. |

There's also anyone who happens to live more than 20 miles from an FFL that has a reasonable fee, the whole 18-20 group, the people who work at night, any time the FFL lost their phone coverage, or NICS stopped functioning.
It seems like SAF could find one person from each group and show they were aggrieved by this law unnecessarily without having them charged. _________________ A simple explanation of why ANZAC's "Where do felons get their guns?" doesn't support his conclusions. |

Funny. The people that bank-rolled and passed the initiative had never been damaged by the previous law, seems to me they had no standing to push the bill. But that didn't stop them.

No court has found it restricts a constitutional right. $ were spent on 591 (paid collectors) and $ (for ads)..... so it is a level playing field apparently (if you both have enough money). The truth is the ads didn't appreciably change the outcome (look at the early polls). But to your point - there is a check and balance on voter initiatives, which is the legislature. Who decided to do exactly nothing. So I'm ok with the initiative process because there is at least one check and balance to it. |

As I recall, Legislative, Executive and Judicial all have checks and balances against one another. I don't recall seeing "mob rule" in the Constitution or even the Federalist Papers. _________________ Massivedesign wrote: I am thinking of a number somewhere between none of and your business. |

No court has found it restricts a constitutional right. One need not be a judge or a constitutional scholar to know that the provisions of 594 are blatant infringements upon our constitutionally-protected human rights. The language of the 2A is VERY clear that the right to keep and bear arms SHALL NOT be infringed. How can the regulation/restriction of private sales for lawful purposes between otherwise law-abiding citizens be considered anything BUT an infringement upon our rights?! |

The check came from Bloomburg - not even a Washington state resident. And, the balance came from Hanauer And Friends. There's the check and balance. The rest was sex, lies, and video tape. What a 594 agitprop campaign farce it turned out to be. It points to the new direction politics is taking in America today. With enough money and a message having no basis in reality, anyone can keep their election if they want the election. _________________ Give a man a fish, and he will eat for a day.

The truth is the ads didn't appreciably change the outcome (look at the early polls). So I'm ok with the initiative process because there is at least one check and balance to it. The ads did continue a misleading narrative that has been repeated by others, including the president (e.g. 40% of gun sales). Continuing to lie and mislead can still contribute to the way one votes. In fact, polls showed that those who actually paid attention instead of reading the election blurb were less likely to vote for the bill. Quote: However, those paying “close attention” to the election were less likely to support I‐594 (46%) than those paying only “some atten‐ tion” (63%) or those paying “little or no” atten‐ tion (66%). Ads which supported the narrative are still a foundation for a vote, even if it's one based off of being completely misleading. This includes the belief that some folks still hold, that you could buy a gun off of the internet like one buys electronics off of Amazon without a background check. ANZAC wrote: But to your point - there is a check and balance on voter initiatives, which is the legislature. Who decided to do exactly nothing. The check for mob rule can only really be enacted two years after the passing of the bill. That's two years of many people having their rights violated before they can be restored, or time waiting for court cases to be settled. It seems like these initiatives should really be checked by courts and/or legislature for constitutionality before they are allowed to be on a ballot. See Prop 8 in California which should have never been on a ballot, and as another example of people voting away someone else's right they'd never care to use. _________________ A simple explanation of why ANZAC's "Where do felons get their guns?" doesn't support his conclusions. |
