We had a debate earlier today in the WA-01 race. A member of the audience asked about guns. Given my diary last week, I figured I was in the best position to respond, and did.
Ballots are out in this race now. People are voting now. I need your help to win. Polling shows the race is incredibly tight; your $50 might literally be what puts us over the top.

5:33 PM PT: Transcript from the debate:
“I’ve been out there on this question. So the Second Amendment rights do not say that everyone can have their own tactical nuclear weapon. They don’t suggest that everybody have their own B-2 bomber. There is clearly a line somewhere. The line used to be that we had an assault weapons ban that restricted the kinds of weapons people had and the number of rounds that were allowed in a single clip.
[Name we won't print] had an assault rifle with a hundred round drum. And had it not jammed many, many, many more people would have died. Now, I’m not anti-Second Amendment: I actually own a gun. I have a Kahr PM-9 handgun; I have had a concealed carry permit. It is a weapon of self-defense. Hunters have the right to go hunting. But I’m pretty sure the only thing you hunt with an AK-47 is dragons.”
