OpEd: In Our View: Vote ‘No’ on Initiative 1639

The Columbian’s Editorial Board recommends a “no” vote on Initiative 1639, a sweeping measure that would dictate numerous changes to state law. As always, this is merely a recommendation, and we hope the initiative leads to continued debate on the pressing issue. This nation desperately needs to recalculate a gun culture that leads to more than 30,000 firearm fatalities each year.
