Here's a bit more info about the pro-2a/anti-2a battle that is going on in Washington state.

It seems that the anti-guns are raising much more money than the pro-guns. 

I am sending NRA a check tomorrow.  Of course, it is nowhere close to the amount that Bill Gates wrote but I hope it helps.  :)

Interesting... looks like Bill Gates had also financed anti-gun activities in Washington state back in 1999

Maybe it's not his guns.  Or at the very least not registered to him.

Thank you for your contribution to fight I-594. I just moved from HI to WA this past April and landed smack in the middle of this mess. One of billionaire Michael Bloomberg's organizations has also contributed over a million dollars.

http://blogs.seattletimes.com/politicsnorthwest/2014/10/09/bloombergs-advocacy-group-pledges-another-1-million-to-i-594/

Although advertised as just mandating background checks on gun sales, the 18-page initiative really mandates background checks on all firearm transfers, even temporary loans to friends or relatives. All transactions would have go through a dealer, with the associated FFL fees and sales tax paid on each transaction.
Lots of disinformation in the TV commercials also. I-594 proponents say that you can just buy a firearm through internet gun sales sites like Gunbroker with "no questions asked", and you can buy a firearm at local WA gunshows without a background check, although membership to WA's largest gun show organization requires a background check before you can be issued a membership card to purchase firearms at the shows.
