Thousands Of Washington State Gun Owners Plan Huge Civil Disobedience Event
Truth and Action ^ | November 15, 2014 | Truth and Action

Posted on 11/16/2014 1:43:36 PM PST by Robwin

"We will rally at the capitol, openly exchange guns, unveil and plan to break apart the entire legislation and violate I-594 in every possible way … We will buy and sell guns from whom we please, we will not submit to background checks, we will not give up our rights, WE WILL NOT comply.”

Under I-594, transmitting a gun to someone in most circumstances – such as lending your gun to a family member or friend at the shooting range would constitute a felony. Many gun owners have transmitted their gun at one point to a friend or relative to try firing a gun. Washington State’s residents are gun owners. Washington has a population of almost 7 million people, and that means that nearly 2.3 million gun owners could now be felons for doing what they have done for years concerning guns.

What could the police going to do if 5,500 gun owners all commit felonies by transmitting their guns to each other at the same time? It would be impossible to try and arrest all 5,500. Local law enforcement even opposes I-594, and so do more than two-thirds elected county sheriffs in Washington. A recent contender for Yakima County Sheriff is assisting in setting up the gathering.

Until people stops coupling guns exclusively with bad guys, and recognizes that guns are what innocent people must use to protect themselves from the bad guys, rights – invading legislation like I-594 will erode our right to bear arms."

It is impossible to describe how bad this law is not how it was sold to the LIVs through constant, repetitious TV ads. WA may be blue but it generally supports gun rights. The FaceBook page for greater info: https://www.facebook.com/events/788109621237033/

How do you teach a minor how to shoot when they’re too young to purchase a gun?

well, another approach would be for all legal gun owners to leave the state, then, the only people with guns would the homies and their illegal ak’s. and then lets see how the soccer moms like it then.

If half of the gunowners in the state do the civil disobedience bit and hold on through a series 3 or 4 high profile arrests and trials, this too, will pass.

This is the best way to go. Large-scale civil disobedience has worked wonders in India, the southern US, Poland, Egypt, and many other places. Good luck!

Incidentally, the surprise gubernatorial result in MD is probably mainly due to a large number of former Dem/gun-owners who were pi$$ed off at the tough O'Malley gun laws passed a couple of years ago.

Having spotters withh long range scopes and cameras to take photos of surveillance and snipers placed around the event might be handy so that you can circulate it among The People. You know they will be there.

And you wonder why the government wants to regulate (control) the Internet. Right wing sites would be destroyed overnight; the pics ouldn’t never see the light of day. Ll you have to do to get the lie hacks to side with you on this issue is mention they will probably block some of their porn, slow down the Internet bandwidth speed, and make it almost impossible to play a video game online without lag.

You don’t need to own a gun to learn to shoot. As a matter of fact the gun ranges in my state have courses for that, you can rent the gun. You can even have kids birthday parties at the range.

Fun for the whole family

Some saw the answer when this movie played several decades ago -
Cordon off the crowd, arrest as many as possible, levy felony-sized civil fines and then attach bank accounts or seize property for non-payment.

Of course, the outcome may spread beyond the immediate locale and be a bit different this time.

In regards to internet regulations, my prediction is that any such law will land up in fed court and STRUCK DOWN.

Did I-594 become a law INSTANTLY solely as the result of a popular vote!?

No introducing a bill, no legislative action, no debate, no passage, no governor’s signature (or veto)!!?

Sounds like fascism to me (”The masses have SPOKEN!!! Forward the Revolution!!!!”)

This is extremely important because he who has the keys to Internet controls the flow of information and the definition of “truth” in a world full of rationalized evil.

That is also why there also has been devolopment on what is called “outernet”, which could make any future internet censorship rather very useless.

Apparently not in WA with their new law that makes you a felon to loan a firearm to anyone without legally transfering it to them.

The 2nd amendment doesn't say a damned thing about that!

It is no substitute for freedom!
