Seahawks in society, continued: Team owner Paul Allen donates $1M for tougher gun laws | The News Tribune

Paul Allen wants tougher gun laws in our state. So one of the world's richest men is throwing his money behind an effort to get them.

The Seahawks owner and Microsoft co-founder announced this week he has donated $1 million to an initiative to raise the minimum age for purchases of semi-automatic, assault rifles in Washington to 21 years old, among other gun-control changes.

I hope people throughout the state will support the campaign, so that we can qualify and pass this important initiative into law. 2/2
