That did make it to the national news, but only for a day, I think.

It needs more exposure here in Washington state, we have a similar ballot issue coming up this fall, with the same phony numbers being touted.

I think Colorado budgeted $3,000,000 for the anticipated workload, meaning 13,600 additional checks cost the taxpayer $220 each.

And, not one felony arrest for prohibited persons trying to buy a gun.
