There is a 'gun control playbook' versus Washington gun owners [WA]

Washington State:
Washington Alliance for Gun Responsibility (WAGR) is using a "guide to waging a politically-savvy gun control campaign" – produced in part by Washington, D.C. consultants - to lobby for gun control. It's entitled “Preventing Gun Violence Through Effective Messaging.” ...

For example, the guide addresses Stand Your Ground laws and counsels the use of provocative substitute phrases including “Shoot First” and “Kill at Will,” asserting that these terms are “more accurate and persuasive.”...

A “key point" on how to frame an effective message pushing the gun control agenda: “The core frame should be personal and emotional—centered on ‘people’ and not on facts, laws, or legislation.”...

[deks]

Hmmmm...ignoring facts, laws and legislation...like Washington State court rulings dating back almost a century that have enshrined the principle that there is “no duty to retreat” from an attack that occurs in a place where the victim has a right to be.

The State of Washington may be liberal, but if you think the Florida stand your ground law is strong, it’s nothing compared to the self defense laws of the State of Washington.

The state of Washington has been rightly described as being very liberal.

But historically, and even currently, they have held to standards of a strong right of self defense, and very strong privacy and property rights.

[SeaHawkFan]

As an example of privacy rights; even though in almost every state, the cops can search your garbage put out by the street, Washington requires the cops get a warrant to search your garbage.
