Brilliant, right there!Done and submitted the following:
"We would all like to see a reduction in violent crime and crime in general in Washington. However passing an unconstitutional law which will not withstand legal scrutiny and is in direct contradiction to recent Supreme Court rulings is not the answer. This law will only reduce law-abiding citizen access to firearms used in recreation, competition, and self-defense of lives and home.
Do not fall for feel-good rhetoric from those who are unwilling to make the difficult decisions to get tough on crime and criminals. Despite what you hear on the news, the majority of citizens of this state outside of King county oppose this proposed legislation. And we are closely watching the actions and voting record of our legislators who took a solemn oath to UPHOLD the Constitution of the United States. This is not just one more symbolic action where you can say you did SOMETHING. This is the line across which many citizens will zealously enter the political arena to support pro second amendment candidates, and donate both their time and money to remove those who violate their rights.
We the citizens of Thurston County and the state of Washington urge you to vote NO on SHB1240."
Sadly there is only one way. A LOT more people have to vote well. Right now too many either vote for the people hosing them or just throw their vote away. A LOT of people will not even register. Until or unless this changes the people hosing us will just keep doing it. Why would they not? Those who want control will not just stop on their own and those who still love freedom are NEVER going to use force. The great hoax lock down proves just how few will really fight. So only one other way. Vote some morons out of office and replace them with better. Will have to be done for several election cycles. At this point I am not too sure its not already too late but I will sure as hell go down swinging.So, how do we obtain that outcome? Untold millions have been telling them that for decades, yet the asshats continue to resist sanity and reason...
Here again is something I have been saying for years and MANY gun owners tell me I know not what I speak of. This is the gun owners who end up supporting this stuff by not knowing its even happening. The problem is not "we are outnumbered", or "elections are rigged so voting does not matter", its how many people who like freedom just pay zero attention to what is being done by the people in office. I do hope people wake up before its almost too late but, look how bad this has gotten and still huge numbers of people have no idea its going on.Sent out to 138 people in my phone that reside here. 126 replied (so far) and have posted a "con". I asked them to reach out to their friends as well. I don't have those numbers. They could easily number into the thousands.
How many people are in your phone book?
Here's the really scary fact. Not one of them even knew anything about it. We, as supporters and defenders of the Constitution, have to take the lead in getting this kind of information out there.
Not to be a downer, but much like the proverbial horse and the water trough, there are those who refuse to wake from their slumber while the proverbial house burns down around them. This appears to be one of those cases...Then wake them up.
THAT! Right there. This place is just a small slice of the gun owners, freedom lovers but, it gives a good reference point of why and how. Look how many people who bother to join and interact here will tell anyone who will listen we are full of crap when we say they need to wake up. Many just do not want to see what is happening for one reason or another. Often because its people they support doing it so they prefer to pretend its not happening. We can't force them to help themselves. Just like we can't force people who will not own a gun to get one no matter how much we show them how crime could very well effect them one day. Look at that couple killed by the kook who they knew was after them a bit ago up here. They are a great example. They knew a kook was out for them and still did almost nothing and now its too late. I am sure during those last few seconds of life all of them wish they had done something but, too damn late then.Not to be a downer, but much like the proverbial horse and the water trough, there are those who refuse to wake from their slumber while the proverbial house burns down around them. This appears to one of those cases...
It seems to be exceedingly difficult to wake these people when their very rights are on the line. Short of what has been tried already and that has resulted in marginal results, what would you suggest?
Sadly, I agree. But many of these same people know far more about the lives of some Kardashian moron, what free agent the Seahawks just signed, or where Ben and Jennifer ate dinner than they know about pending bills in their state legislatures. And gun-owners - those that don't hang out down at the LGS or on the internet -- can be horrible, because many don't like watching the news and are constantly being taken by surprise when something like I-594, I-1639 or SB-5078 get passed into law, either by voters or legislators.he problem is not "we are outnumbered", or "elections are rigged so voting does not matter", its how many people who like freedom just pay zero attention to what is being done by the people in office.
I forget which bill it was exactly, but last year or the year before I was on the Zoom call for public comments on a WA gun bill. All the 'pro' commentators allowed to speak were from out of state.Once again, I'm not sure my opinion counts as I'm from a different state, however I gave my "con" stance regardless
King jay will of course sign it. Now it will be up to the courts and the voters.Any updates for this? Apparently it recently just passed and needs a signature?
