KENNEWICK, Wash. -- A Second Amendment advocate from Tri-Cities is gathering signatures to repeal initiative 1639.

Radona Devereaux tells Action News she worked with a number of gun-advocate groups to assemble the final initiative.

Now she says they need nearly 300 thousand signatures from registered Washington voters before Saturday, Dec. 28, 2019.

From there, Devereaux says the petitions go to Olympia to get certified and if everything checks out we could be voting on a repeal next November.

She's urging folks across the state to get involved.

"Use your voice, vote. Sign a petition," Deveraux says. "If you didn't participate in the last election, because there was a really low voter-turnout, get educated. Sign the petition and get a second chance."

She encourages Tri-Citians to be on the lookout for fluorescent signs on street corners this weekend.

According to Devereaux, gun rights advocates across the state are working to gather signatures, including a number of local businesses.

If you'd like to review the initiative and sign your name, or you know someone who wants to gather signatures, she says B & B Express Printing in Kennewick has the PDF.

There wasn't "very low voter turnout" during the last election; 72% is pretty good, especially during a mid election season. There was about 59k I-1639 no votes in Benton and Franklin counties (tri-cities area). They will need lots of help to get this on the ballot next year, which will probably be a higher turnout year - that could be a big disadvantage since it will be a Trump reelection cycle, bringing out even more antis to the polls. The 2016 election had about a 79% WA voter turnout. This year would've been a better chance- the last odd-year 2017 had much lower participation at 37%. Of course I will sign it regardless. Best chances for pro 2A initiatives is odd-years. These numbers are extremely important to consider. Hint-hint.

These need to be printed on 17x22 double sided. Most places wont do it but just call around and ask them if they can do it double sided manually.
