Thousands of gun owners plan to openly violate a new state firearms law next month in Olympia, Washington, daring local police to stop or arrest them.

The massive display of civil disobedience — perhaps one of the largest acts ofGavin Seim

lawlessness ever organized — is the brainchild of Gavin Seim, a self-described “liberty speaker” and former congressional candidate from Washington State.

Seim, and the thousands of participants expected to attend the “I Will Not Comply” rally Dec. 13, will be protesting the passage of I-594, a state ballot initiative that becomes law in the The Evergreen State Dec. 4.

Although he did not violate a law passed by elected legislators at any level, he was fined for violating a regulation. Did you know you could go to prison for catching too many fish? Or, the wrong size fish? Or, fish after a certain date? Prison. This isn’t a law, it’s a regulation. Do you know how many regulations there are requiring prison time? Nobody does. But estimates range into the thousands. Somebody said every American is now violating the law at least 15 minutes per day.

“There's no way to rule innocent men. The only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren't enough criminals, one makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws.” --Ayn Rand

Is it time to start using the second amendment solution on the regulators?

“Is it time to start using the second amendment solution on the regulators? “

None of the revenuers are responsible for the rules they enforce. They are, to a large degree, innocents. They are a symptom of the disease but not the cause. Treating the symptom will only further empower the disease with more and at this point, justifiable, power. We need a politician to take up the cause, which is too much government. These revenuers are the funding mechanism for the various governmental bodies who are governing or regulating or strangling things that do not require any of the above. Every police type agency now has a group who do nothing but seize land and goods for sale. The pretense that they are seizing criminally obtained items is slipping away to a free-for-all that, in many cases, is indistinguishable from simple theft.

By the regulators, I mean the faceless bureaucrats who create these regulations, and GIVE THE ORDERS to the revenuers to infringe upon our very lives. Cut off the head and the snake will die.
