I-594 leads to confiscation

Tue., Oct. 14, 2014

If voters knew the truth about Initiative 594, then the repressive, anti-gun measure would suffer a massive defeat. Is that why our rabidly anti-gun media is giving preferential treatment to gun control activists and censoring opposing viewpoints?

I-594 will implement universal background checks, an Obama administration scheme to implement a national gun registry. As we’ve seen in England and Australia, gun registration is always a prelude to gun confiscation.

There is no gun show loophole. Studies show that criminals obtain firearms from the black market and theft, not from guns shows and the classifieds.

Until the gun control cabal can ban guns outright, they’ll use measures like Initiative 594 to harass, impede, obstruct and intimidate the law-abiding.
