Gun Owners Commit 1,000 Felonies as Police Stand By and Watch Gun on Flag Washington state’s new 18-page gun control law, I-594, may be the first gun law in the nation to be rescinded, either through legislation or by a lawsuit. It is facing extraordinary resistance from gun owners, including a number of legislators. At a recent historic rally, thousands of gun owners gathered to make their feelings known. According to a story in Townhall: Fed up with the passage of an 18½-page incoherent, rambling, unconstitutional gun control initiative that was bankrolled by billionaires, gun owners across Washington state held the largest felony civil disobedience rally in the nation’s history, brazenly titled “I Will Not Comply.” No one was hurt and no stores were looted. Between 1,000 and 3,000 lawful gun owners showed up openly armed at the state capitol in Olympia, Wash., on Saturday to defy the newly passed gun control law, I-594. Organizer Gavin Seim made the extraordinary nature of the rally very clear, “This isn’t just a protest. We are here to openly violate the law.” Attendees publicly transferred their guns to each other in violation of I-591’s background check provisions, and some even bought and sold guns just a few feet away from law enforcement. A fire pit blazed throughout the rally, and at the conclusion, gun owners lined up to burn their concealed weapons permits. A petition was circulated affirming gun owners’ refusal to follow I-594, which ended with, “We pledge our blood. We will not comply.” As the RSVPs in advance of the rally grew to over 6,000, the police – most who probably detest I-594 – decided not to enforce the law. The Washington State Patrol announced there would be no arrests for exchanging guns – not even for selling guns. Seim refused to obtain a permit to hold the rally, citing the right of people to peaceably assemble. The rally could not be dismissed as fringe elements. Several lawmakers and lawmen spoke, including former Graham County Sheriff Richard Mack of Arizona, Washington State Rep. Elizabeth Scott (R-Monroe) and Rep. Graham Hunt (R-Orting), who sported an AR-15 during his speech. Mack advised gun owners engaging in civil disobedience to “put your sheriff next to you to keep it peaceful.” Scott defiantly explained in her speech, “I will not comply with I-594 because it is unconstitutional, unenforceable and unjust. It is impossible to enforce this law unless there is a police officer on every back porch and in every living room. So it will be enforced selectively.” She noted that Founding Father Alexander Hamilton said any law that violates the Constitution is not valid, and there is a moral obligation to disobey unjust laws. At one point, Gavin Seim invited all the attendees to kneel in prayer with him. Representative Graham Hunt addressed the rally carrying an AR-15. Organizers plan another rally in Olympia on January 15, along with one in Spokane. The Second Amendment Foundation, whose offices are in Bellevue, plans to sue the state, and they intend to lobby the legislature to get the law modified or repealed.

Two deputies per shift, occasionally three, to cover my 900 square mile county. I'm not seeing that happening this year or next year.... Get ready to fight back. The goons are coming for your guns.

Obummer wants the U.N. to control our guns. Are you ready for them? ;) Two deputies per shift, occasionally three, to cover my 900 square mile county. I'm not seeing that happening this year or next year....
