Christopher Lopaze writes
In a recent Gallup Poll released last month, American’s dissatisfaction with gun laws and the politics surrounding them increased from 50 percent to 55 percent, while satisfaction decreased from 47 percent to 40 percent. Last year, only five percent of Americans favored less strict gun-control laws, but that statistic has risen to 16 percent.
[…]The Washington Alliance for Gun Responsibility, which backs I-594, has raised about $1.5 million, more than twice the $717,000 raised by the Protect Our Gun Rights committee in support of I-591, according to the Public Disclosure Commission.
