Here's a new twist at gun control I was reading about in NRA-ILA. This is a cut/paste from their email:
Initiative 594 is a gun control bill being falsely promoted as a “Universal Background Check” measure. In reality, I-594 is a universal handgun registration scheme being promoted by a very wealthy group of anti-gun elitists who have already raised nearly $1.4 million to qualify this initiative. Under I-594, every time a handgun is transferred, the person receiving the handgun will need to be registered with the state Department of Licensing. Further, virtually every firearm transfer - with very few and limited exceptions - would be required to go through a licensed firearms dealer under the provisions of I-594. I-594 will specifically regulate transfers, not sales. Under the language of I-594, a person merely handing his or her firearm to a family member or a friend cannot do so without going through a background check and state registration with a gun dealer.

Wonder if this passes in Washington if it will be challenged and beat in the courts?
