In the wake of a bad news survey of a small sampling of registered Washington voters, Crosscut reported that 59 percent plan to vote for gun control Initiative 1639, bringing an immediate surge of activism among opponents of the measure.
Social media, especially Facebook pages involved in the battle to defeat the 30-page initiative, shows an intensified vigor among rights activists. They are ringing doorbells, putting up yard signs and even larger roadside posters, distributing literature and making phone-banking to reach voters. |

This seems to be a perennial problem with rights activists.
It's always too little, too late.
If it takes hyperbole to get them off their butts at the last minute, then they aren't fulfilling their civic obligation to pay attention and move forcefully to protect their own rights, and defeating the momentum of the rights-deniers becomes downright impossible. |

TO REMEMBER |
| By calling attention to a well-regulated militia for the security of the Nation, and the right of each citizen to keep and bear arms, our Founding Fathers recognized the essentially civilian nature of our economy. Although it is extremely unlikely that the fears of governmental tyranny, which gave rise to the second amendment, will ever be a major danger to our Nation, the amendment still remains an important declaration of our basic military-civilian relationships, in which every citizen must be ready to participate in the defense of the country. For that reason I believe the second amendment will always be important. --JOHN F. KENNEDY |
