Awesome.

The 'Hearing' for this whole steaming pile of fecal matter is Tuesday, 2/25/20 at 8AM, in Olympia. Yeah, super convenient for working folks, particularly with virtually no notice. Especially for everyone who'd already made previous trips in efforts to defeat the other previous bills over the past few weeks.

Anyone with two functional brain cells can see exactly what they're doing.

Boss 1, I just wanted to take a moment and thank you for all your efforts to update the Evergreen State gun owners about all the gun control law efforts.

Many years ago I used to live in the state and have some fond memories of shooting in the back country outside a tiny little town there as a young boy with my father.

It's a real shame what has happened there in recent years...but, then again, what is happening there is happening in other states as well, and we Western state gun owners need to stick together and unite in our opposition to these draconian laws.

Hoping WA gun owners will unite and answer the call... give 'em hell!

Thanks M.D.S. Truth be told, there's only about 5,000 things I'd rather be doing. But WA is not what it was even 10 years ago, let alone 20+. It used to be a very good state for law-abiding gun owners...now the Dems in about 4-5 counties are doing their best to trample 2A rights of the entire state.

On the plus side, even some Dems are seeing what an unpopular tactic this most recent bill is and are attempting to stop it. There's also been two very pro2A organizations start up recently, and if they get some traction, will hopefully have some positive effects in the near future.

And hopefully the attention VA got starts to turn the tide nationally.

Cheers,
Boss

Boy...do I know that feeling ...still, this fight needs to be fought (across many fronts) and I'm in it to the end, and you appear to be as well as you are one of the few that actively and regularly posts updates on your state's gun law issues...your efforts are both noticed and appreciated!

M-D-S, Thanks for the kind words, much appreciated.

Unless folks want this to be about the last generation of active 2A supporters/gun owners (owners, range members, competitive shooters, Olympians, hunters, etc), WE ALL NEED to Keep at it and try to turn the tide.

$.02 worth.

Luckily it ended up failing this year, but they’ll be right back at it next year.
