Agree. My email to the senators was very similar. I think aggressive, over the top rhetoric, and offensive name calling just turns them off and plays into their mindset that we are a bunch of whining Karens or mercenary kooks. Facts, common sense, and a basic respect are what I think will go farther in pushing our message at this stage. There is certainly a time for yelling and screaming, but in an email, the delete button is just a finger stroke away and much easier than reading something that one considers offensive. It might send them to their safe room.The point I make is extremely subtle and nuanced: Violent criminals do not obey the law.
For some senators, it might be the first time they've heard that.
Then again, maybe we should all move to your district in order to vote out the liberal idiot that is tormenting us with these bills.I'm strongly considering moving to Lynda Wilson's district....

Subject: Violent crime is UP in WA... please oppose SB5078 and SB5568
Dear Senator,
Sadly, our state is becoming more violent and more lawless, especially over the last couple of years. Please use your limited time during the legislative session to work on bills that will make a REAL difference for Washingtonians, and will truly improve our lives and our safety.
Please oppose SB5078 (magazine ban) and SB5568 (preemption loss). You know that these bills will seriously hurt law-abiding Washingtonians, both Democrats and Republicans, and they will have zero impact on our rising crime.
Please let these bills die, and focus on other bills that will improve our state.
Thank you.

Let's keep the pressure on! If you've already written, please write again!
Even if it's supremely simple, just "please oppose SBxxxx" or whatever, please keep the emails flowing!
Thank you!
I emailed Liias too… Didn't hear back- saw that he voted for the bill. Not surprising considering he sponsored it. :/Email sent to Marko Liias - I'm not in his district, but who cares...
Senator,
I know your mind is already probably made up on this topic, but I must respectfully ask you to reconsider your position on SB 5078. It applies a completely arbitrary cap to how much ammunition a law abiding citizen can carry in a firearm, and that inappropriately restricts their ability to defend themselves.
Take this as an example - if a group of 5 people break into one's home (and the majority of home invasions are perpetrated by groups of 2 - 5 people, so this isn'ta stretch), the homeowner will need to deliver 2 bullets into center of mass on 5 moving targets without missing in an extremely high stress situation. That's a highly unrealistic expectation, given that any police officer, firearms instructor, or federal agent would be hard-pressed to successfully deliver all shots on target in that scenario.
Also, shot placement does not guarantee the threat will stop. If the bad guys (like many home invaders) are under the influence of drugs, it might take more than 10 to stop a single one - numerous officer-involved shootings offer evidence of this.
There are a number of ways we can address gun violence and mass shootings, ways that gun owners will wholeheartedly endorse - nobody wants bad people to get their hands on guns and cause mayhem, gun owners least of all. However, this is not one of them - it's applying wishful thinking and good intentions to a challenge that requires careful thought and consideration. Let's do something that will actually address the problem instead.
As a knowledgeable gun owner who wants to solve these problems just as much as you do, I'm more happy to discuss this matter in depth and answer any questions you might have. Thank you for your time.
Thanks!
