Poll on Gun Control at Seattle Times

By Dean Weingarten

Arizona – -(Ammoland.com)-  The Seattle Times is running a poll about two initiatives that will be on the ballot in the next Washington State election.  Instead of two questions that the voters will face, the poll asks three, summed up thus:

Do you think background checks should apply to:

All gun sales, as proposed in I-594

Only for sales by licensed dealers, as proposed in I-591

No one. Americans have a right to bear arms. Period.

It is very interesting that it is the third option that is  currently getting more than half the votes: 610 votes, 50.88 percent.

The first option, essentially for ending private sales and setting up the framework for a statewide gun registry has 288 votes, or 24.02 percent.

The second option, which is pretty much the status quo, has 301 votes or 25.1 percent.

It appears that a lot of people in Washington state were educated during the gun control push in 2013, and they do not want infringements on the second amendment, even existing ones.

Here is a link to the poll.

Universal Background Checks is code for Universal Gun Registration

Gun Registration  is Gun Confiscation
