The Bellevue-based Second Amendment Foundation and other parties on Friday filed a request for an injunction with the Washington Supreme Court.
They claimed that I-1639’s signature petitions do not show all the changes the initiative would make to state gun laws. Naming Secretary of State Kim Wyman as a respondent, they asked the court to invalidate the petitions.
But Supreme Court Commissioner Michael E. Johnston dismissed the filing.
Among other reasons, Johnston wrote that judicial review of initiatives in these instances can occur only when the Washington secretary of state has declined to place a measure on the ballot.
The denial isn’t likely to stop the Second Amendment Foundation’s efforts. |

TO REMEMBER |
| No kingdom can be secured otherwise than by arming the people. The possession of arms is the distinction between a freeman and a slave. He, who has nothing, and who himself belongs to another, must be defended by him, whose property he is, and needs no arms. But he, who thinks he is his own master, and has what he can call his own, ought to have arms to defend himself, and what he possesses; else he lives precariously, and at discretion. — James Burgh, Political Disquisitions: Or, an Enquiry into Public Errors, Defects, and Abuses [London, 1774-1775]. |
