I-594 mailing

< Why they don't have school shootings in Israel.
Notice the long gun slung over the teachers shoulder?

Just got a flyer in the mail supporting I-594:
"Join Law Enforcement and Prosecutors: vote YES on 594"
Cites two prosecutors (Kitsap and King Counties) and one Bellingham Police Chief (Retired)
Also the debunked FBI "study" that says fewer offices and women were shot and killed when the gun show "loophole" was closed.
What the say is somewhat true, but if all the police support they have is ONE retired officer and TWO prosecutors it kind of rings hollow.
Wish the anti-594 and pro 591 groups had the money to send out lies like this.

Write letters to your local newspapers detailing the disinformation in these pamphlets.

I'm in Idaho. My letters would be ineffective.

No, they wouldn't be ineffective, but they may be discredited by some because you don't live in the same state.

Thanks for the advice, but don't all Websites and email servers log the IP address?

Not always, plus as a Systems Administrator I can tell you IP addresses are not assigned based on location and there is this thing called NAT (national address translation) your computers IP address does not make it out into the interwebz. At the firewall or router your IP is converted to a publicly facing IP address. If you are on Comcast or some other ISP you have an IP address within their network but once anything goes out to the world wide web wherever you are communicating with just see's whatever Comcast's or you ISP's public IP address is that it is using. Someone would essentially have to check the firewall logs then try and determine which one would be associated with when you emailed then look up that IP address probably using a "who is" command but most of the time it will just have the parent company that owns the IP like Comcast and just give their corporate info. It would take some work to really find out where it came from. It can be done but usually only happens when investigating a crime or if you have a bored security analyst with a lot of time on his hands.

Problem is the local "news" paper is FOR 594 so it would never get published in time if ever.

And, as an ex-Sys Admin myself I will agree with the above!
