Washington Initiatives 591 and 194

[Goldwater]

Initiative 591: Prevents confiscation of firearms without due process and implementation of more extensive background checks than those at the federal level. More info

Initiative 594: Requires background checks be performed on all gun purchasers. More info




No/Yes (R)

(I see no logical reason for anyone to vote Yes/Yes, but you can actually do that on the real ballot so I included it in the poll options. )

[Goldwater]

No/No

591 would be tempting if it didn't implement stronger background checks than are currently required by federal law.

It doesn't. It bans implementation of stronger background checks.

Oh, the wording in the OP was kind of confusing. In that case then, I would probably vote Yes/No

My Apologies. I took the wording directly from Ballotpedia.

I'm looking at the official results and apparently my county (Spokane) voted in favor of both initiatives Weird...
