There’s no need to be confused by the competing gun initiatives on this fall’s ballot. Initiative 594 is a simple and straight-forward measure to extend the state’s current requirement for criminal background checks to all gun sales.

Initiative 594 will save lives and reduce gun violence.

The other ballot measure, I-591, is a shameless stalking horse. It’s an initiative that hides the gun industry’s true intention: kill any effort to extend the requirement for background checks by confusing voters.

Stand up and shout yes on I-594, and an emphatic no on I-591.
