Big Stinky Butthead Paul Allen (yes that is his full name) has donated $500K to the I-594 campaign.

Certainly seems to be popular with Microsoft alum.

In a way, I think it's good news for us.  I know it may sound strange but if we have that many people donating that much money, it sounds like we are going to win this fight.

But we don't They're outspending on 594 3:1 over 591 right now.

With all the commercials and such ran for them as bs as they are, theyre gaining support on their side. I don't see as being a very good thing at all for us.

If he has all that money to blow, might I suggest a fucking dentist to get some of that butter off his teeth.
Between him & Patty Murray with the jacked up grill, how fucking embarrassing.

Funny how the left complains about money in politics,  "buying elections" and all that, except when it's on their side.
I594, supported by the 0.1 percent. The super rich democrats that have private, armed security details.
Can we turn class envy against them?

There is currently a WAGR 594 commercial running on Q13. It features some random Colorado fire fighter (real? who knows) who claims that since CO passed their UBC bill, there has been a drastic decrease in police shootings - as if CO had a lot of them to begin with. Of course, no source is given for this data, and the commercial simply says that 594 will "require background checks on all gun purchases." Obfuscation, and minimal information.

According to a post on Northwest Firearms, Paul Allen owns his own FFL, so he is exempt from 594 anyway.

What a hypocrite!

Never heard that before. Would be interested if it is similar to the rumor that James Brady, of Brady Bill fame, was a registered FFL including SOT 02/07. Turns out there was just another guy with that name with an FFL.

It's definitely true. Listed in most FFL directories and I just checked ATF.gov.

Vulcan is Allen's company and that is their HQ address.

They probably did not start the full bombardment yet because their population target has the brains of lemmings and memory retention of amoebas.   Therefore, they will likely do it a month or less before.  


But again, what concerns me is the corrupt voting scheme in WA.   There's no way to know the real outcome, just what they publish as the "results".

I know this is an older poll, but I am going by this one for a couple of reasons, more people were polled, and the language isn't even a little bit confusing.

We all now that these clowns are up to no good.  But is is up to us to get the word out to our friends and families when November rolls around.  The State of King and the concentration of libtards my just be enough to unhinge things for us.

That's the ad I've seen a dozen or so times over the last week... Very deceiving for the uninformed, hits all the typical talking points you'd expect.

I just looked it up as well and see the FFL listed under their Everett address at 3407 109th st.

Yeah, the address of Allen's Flying Heritage Collection.

I guess he needs the FFL for his warplanes.

As long as they don't tell the lemmings that 591 undoes (or at least 'puts on pause, unless the Feds pass a bill) 594...



Last I heard, both initiatives were going to pass anyway...

Fortunately it appears that the NRA is starting to throw some weight in, but what we need is money for ads

https://www.voteno594.com/

The problem is, if you tell the random anti-gun person in King Co. (who is probably going to vote for 594 no matter what) that it is basically a firearms registration scheme, setting up the framework for future confiscation of various types of scary-looking firearms if WA ever goes full-California-retard, their answer is going to be "so what? sounds good to me."

The NRA called asking for money and I told them I was tapped out but to help us in WA. Also reported the Paul Allen issue on Facebook for all my friends to see what was going on.

No such thing as a "non-offensive" agent of the government that is calling for gun control. They're ALL offensive. Highly.

Of course that in this case the "1 percenters" are all good.

Even the 25 is greatly appreciated, especially from an individual not even in this state. Thanks.
