*"I WILL NOT Comply Rally" Dec. 13, 2014, OLYMPIA*

[Mrninninnin]

News release: 11/07/14. Washington State.

TO: All media organizations and groups.
FROM: Gavin Seim, lead organizer of the “I WILL NOT Comply Rally”.

Initiative 594 just passed in Washington State, bringing on residents mandatory gun background checks and making it a felony to privately purchase or even hand a gun to a friend without government permission. We the people of Washington State will not comply with this lawless legislation. The highest law is that of liberty and our Constitution. Our rights will be upheld.

On Dec 13th 2014, just after the law is legally in effect, we stand and disobey the illegal restrictions of i594. We must not wait for our rights to be decided but act swiftly to affirm them. In under 72 hours over 5000 have RSVP’d to this stand on Capital grounds in Olympia and assert their God given rights.

Learn more about this peaceful civil rebellion here: http://callmegav.com/ral/

Joining in the event will be speakers, patriots and families from across the State to remind our legislators that lawless legislation will not be obeyed and to teach others about their rights.
 Will you bow down and lick the boots of tyrants, or will you stand for the liberty of your children? We are not asking permission, we are not standing silent. Our birthright is not theirs to take. We stand peaceful, principled, firm and resolute for the liberty so many have perished for. We stand to uphold law and we will not comply with lawlessness from government.

We Stand! Stand with us.

In Liberty – Gavin Seim.

That's great news!  Taking action is critical.  We just need to be careful not to give the liberal extremists ammunition against law abiding citizens and it sounds like that's how it's organized.  I'll be surprised to see much media coverage though.  I'm sure they'll try to make it a non-event as much as they can.

[rim_runner]

I disagree. I think the media will be all over this and all the coverage will be slanted to make gun owners look bad. Better think this one out guys. The anti's have made a constant effort to make gun owners look bad and a lot of this sinks in to the general public where most people rarely see the good side of gun owners. A well thought out protest is one thing but if this can be made to look like a big temper tantrum that's how the media will present it. This is not the time to provide more ammunition to the anti's cause.

That's what we need......guys with an AR on their back.  The media will use pics of the biggest idiots making the dumbest statements.

AR's, fatigues and camo will be all over the news. 

[Stalker]

I don"t believe it will matter to the media as they are 100% complicit in the anti gun movement. So whomever shows up and no matter their actions the media will pick out the most redneck looking individual and key on that person as the "face" of gun owners.

I do believe that if the bulk of participants show up in "business" type attire this could throw a wrench into the media coverage, but again they will go out of their way to highlight others that fit their stereotype.

In any case doing something is better then doing nothing.

[trophyhunt]

Yup, doing something is better than nothing! Who cares what the anti's think!

[rim_runner]

doing the wrong thing is not better than doing nothing. I-594 is a classic example of that. It was people wanting to do something even it was wrong that passed this mess. As far as what the anti's think your right it doesn't matter but it's those who are sitting on the fence that we have to convince. The anti's are well aware of this. That's why they are constantly trying to show gun owners in a bad light. There's not point helping them.

We attended a gun rights rally and a Tea Party rally at the Capitol and the people who were open carrying or had AR's hanging across their backs were the folks who made the headlines in the paper and TV.  They tried to make them look like irrational, militant extremists and their message was completely lost.

Wouldn't surprise me if the anti's and the media plant their own stereotypical gun toting whackos just to be sure to have something news worthy

They will get the photos they want, and some suitable dialogue to go with it, I'm sure.  Many of us are more than hunters.....we are into shooting sports...we shoot guns and bows year'round.  They need to see shooting sports enthusiast first,  not hunters......hunting may be something many of us do, but it is not all we do, and I believe shooting sports enthusiasts should be as bent over this as hunters...........so anyone from  clubs like Tacoma Sportsmans, recruit there please...........

[Eli346]

 I feel the guns should be left at home from this rally-demonstration. Any weapons or displays of weapons will only fuel the anti-gun media frenzy. It's a good thought and I hope to be there but I'm not going to show if we just flash guns and chant. There needs to be some intelligent speakers and conversations going about why 594 is not going to work and why we won't comply.

[npaull]

Eli and rimrunner are right about this. No one should show up with guns. Like it or not, a bunch of armed people protesting looks INTRINSICALLY violent, even if they are in fact being peaceful.

[Bean Counter]

I have no problem with the open carrying of long guns by pissed off gun owners.

What I find off base is that this is going to protest the legislature in Olympia when the good guys won in Olympia a few years ago. Didn't the legislature turn this 594 crap down? Why go protest them now? This initiative was passed by the people. I think I'd rather shout cat calls at the gun owners who didn't bother to vote. Not sure how to go about doing that though... accost people at the gun range or Sportsmans Warehouse? Put on a bumper sticker?

This is very important! And I totally agree.
March on this liberal capital with firearms and risk destroying our message.
