NRA is spooked by popularity of gun control initiative I-1639

Share story

After years of controlling the gun debate and scaring legislators into timidity, the National Rife Association is being outgunned by backers of Initiative-1639. The measure would put significant restrictions on the sale of semi-automatic weapons of the kind often used in mass shootings. It is leading by 25% in the most recent Crosscut/Elway poll and is far ahead in campaign donations. The I-1639 campaign has raised $4.6 million while the opposition has pulled in just $316,000 — half of that from the NRA.
