I am in Florida so was not familiar with the campaigns. I googled the bill, Initiative 594.
Here is a site that explains some of these points. I think they about 97% accurate. Some of the legal phrases in the bill are open to interpretation.

The above is a link to the proposed law for “basic” gun safety. All 18 pages!
Seems that “temporary” loan (whatever that means) of a gun while on a hunt is okay. A gift to a close relative is okay. (Loaning or sale to the relative is not okay)
Seems that at a shooting range you can only let a spouse use your weapon. But not anyone else. Not sure why the rules would be different for hunting rather than a shooting range.
One thing to note, in WA state the gun shows require you to be a member of their group in order to buy or sell weapons. To be a member you have to pass the Federal background check (I think it lasts a year). So purchasers have passed a background check, just not for each time they buy a weapon.
