The west side of both states are infested with the scourge of liberal politics and the large population centers.
My state of Washington has one of the dumbest democrat governors in it's history. The state legislature in Olympia is dominated by the 'rat party and each session they continue to usurp gun rights little by little.
They've tried to outlaw 'assault weapons' and 'large capacity' magazines but most of these get killed in committee because even democrats want to keep their jobs.
Here in the East part of the state we're all for the most part patriotic gun owners and even our LEO's refuse to enforce the myriad of inane gun laws that come out of Olympia.
It's sad that the state is so divided because we once were a great conservative state until the advent of Microsoft here which brought thousands of hitechers from California and elsewhere and they brought their failed liberal politics with them.
Then came Starbucks and Amazon and the rest is the history of a once great state being ruined, perhaps beyond repair.
*Sigh*
See, the seriffs wont enforce in a deep blue state, what do you think would happen in deep red states.
