Hippies in Seattle could not keep to themselves, they have to force their views and ideas on everyone..

Was just getting to post this!

Something to think about, maybe the Bill for the assault weapons ban is being thrown out in everyone's faces as a distraction.

Get everyone stirred-up and focused on it and slide this through under the radar!

Are these the result of Inslee's pressure? He really is a puppet of the President, isn't he?

Holy *censored*. Better stock up on 22 now. A box of 525 will cost 32 dollars more than now .

I am all for more funding for public safety, but gun owners shouldn't have to be the ones to pay for it.

True, but there is no hunting without guns (for the most part), and public lands are soon to not exist without a continued fight. Hunting like any form of self reliance is a target also.
Unfortunately these issues are relevant.
Truth those pushing the ammo tax would consider this forum a terrorist threat full of bitter clingers.

I wasn't making a political statement, Craig, although as you know, I'm quite opposed to both gun control initiatives. I'm simply stating a fact that Gun Rights is listed under Outdoor Advocacy and Agencies.

I sent an opposition email to my reps , recieved one from Norm Johnson right away in return , stating "Trittin I do not support 2374"

Fund public safety my rear. They just want to slowly pinch off the gun owners community. Best to nip this in the bud before it gets carried away

Push legislation to put a bicycle tax statewide and bicycle licensing and divert their attention back to where it belongs.
