594 doesn't apply to loaners

[Tawnos]

There is a movement now to NOT COMPLY with the i594 (see http://www.northwestfirearms.com/th...-the-state’s-new-background-check-law.183407/ ) and I'm sure you think it's 'silly' and those folks are trying to be 'clever'.

Let's say that thousands show up and do those temporary transfers. Assume they're not arrested or prosecuted. What's the benefit?

I can tell you what the cost could be: the efforts to get the same law passed in other states points to this as "see, these nincompoops were doing all this firearm handing-around and nobody got in trouble, this law won't affect you, just people selling guns" (despite the wording). Further, in this state a good argument against the law in court could be the chilling effects it will have... yet if people flagrantly violate it without being prosecuted, it's much harder to claim chilling effects.

Taking measured steps to get this overturned and put good case law on the books to prevent it from coming up again in such an egregious form seems. Finding ways to circumvent it or becoming a bad test case for the law sets us all back, both in this state and in other states that will be facing this going forward.

You're wrong. The best thing you can do to a unjust law is ignore it. To come in force & ignore it together sends a clear message.

Ignoring unjust law doesn't make it go away. Case in point, slavery, we ignored it from our founding until the mid-19th century and it almost cost us everything. We need to fight unjust laws and if you want to draw attention to it and get people on board,make sure it is strictly enforced-preferably on those that supported the initiative. That is the shortest path to repealing it, Abe Lincoln agreed.

 

[U201491]

There were 842,047 votes against this bill.

If that many would all stand up and not comply. This law would be
null and void, and they could not do squat about it. That is how to
nullify a bad law.
