He did a lot of good with his money.

Of course he did some bad. He put lots of money into the anti-gun initiative a few years ago (now I can't even give a gun to my son to borrow without filing paperwork with the feds!).

He put $1 million towards this fall's initiative that will ban sales of “assualt weapons” most deer rifles (including tube fed .22s) to folks under the age of 21, mandates gun safes in the home, safety classes every five years if you want to buy a gun, etc. (30+ pages long!!)

And I'm guessing that it will pass - mob rule of the Seattle liberals.

Allen also owned an Air Museum which I understand is very nice.

Air and Tank museum and other military stuff. Most of it is in operating condition. Interesting how a guy that is so against firearms had his own tanks!

“My question is who is inheriting what? How will they spend their billions? Sure hope it’s not a wacko lib that will flush his money down liberal dh*tholes.”

Weston,
Unless he accepted Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior prior to his death, it’s all for naught. I would have imagined if he had, he would have changed policies and his circle of friends so I’m inclined to believe he left his monies to groups that ultimately would be against Christ and His people. Sigh. What an opportunity he was granted over the last 9 or 10 years... I think folks who are granted the extra time are given that as a 2nd or even 3rd chance to accept Christ.

I believe that is also why some evil people seem to outlive so many good people. That when their time is to end they have absolutely no excuse or fallback or person to blame for not accepting Christ as their Savior.

As for so many good people that seem to die young and/or horribly, it’s like the underside of the fabric...you’ll see it on the other side....

May we always be ever grateful for each moment of life.

Amen. Sad but true. Without Jesus, would be the worst way to die.
