We learned today that federal agents arrested a convicted felon in Olympia, Washington for buying and selling guns online -- even though he was prohibited by law from possessing guns. This story is as scary as it is real. It demonstrates what Everytown revealed in our investigation yesterday: Criminals are flocking to the Internet to buy guns because theres no requirement to run criminal background checks. Washington State residents can close this loophole by voting YES on Initiative 594 this fall -- an initiative that would require background checks for all gun sales in Washington State.
