Governor Labels 100,000+ Law-Abiding Constituents in WA a “Destructive Force”

It would be really *censored* if you signed it that way and linked to the forum lol

[pianoman9701]

Lol, we're all already on about as many lists as there are. It probably wouldn't make any difference.

[cowboycraig]

Pianoman for president!

At least Governor!

Dear Governor Inslee,

I am an American veteran. I've never been in trouble with the law for anything. I pay my taxes. I'm not a burden on state or federal welfare programs. I'm a gun owner and I'm a life member of the NRA. Since when does this make me a "destructive force", for exercising my rights under both the WA and US Constitutions? You efforts to label me as a "bad guy" for no reason whatsoever, while criminals in this state continue to be given light sentences and felons continue to get away with applying for gun purchases without being arrested and charged, is ludicrous.

I challenge you to begin focusing your control efforts on those who've proven they're a danger to society instead of pitting our good citizens against each other for no more than a difference in ideology. You're a leader. Prove it by figuring out who the real bad guys are and leave the rest of us alone to work hard, continue to be contributing members of our society, and enjoy the freedoms guaranteed us by the supreme law of the land.

Sincerely,
Pianoman

Well written and to the point my take is it will fall on his deaf ears, they have an agenda and will pursue it no matter what. That said it is still worth calling him out and letting him know that voters are not happy with his inappropriate statements!

I will continue to redress my grievances with my government regardless of the expected result. I write to the two sickeningly liberal women who serve our state in the US Senate, although they rarely vote the way I've encouraged. I write the President, my Congresswoman, my state senators and reps, the Gov, the county commissioners, and the Sheriff. If you were elected by the people or appointed by someone elected by the people, you've probably seen my letterhead across your desk at one or more times. I will continue to write and share my views as long as I have a right to do so. Never squander your rights.

Cribbed a little from what was written here. This is what I wrote.

Dear Governor Inslee,

Writing to commend on your statement "But make no mistake, the NRA and their friends in the gun lobby are a powerful and destructive force. We must stand together to demand a reduction in preventable gun violence here in Washington state."

I am an American veteran (NMCB 40 89-94). I've never been in trouble with the law in any way and support the police. I'm a gun owner with exensive training working on becoming an NRA certified instructer, a hunter, work in technology at a hight level, and I'm a member of the NRA, GOA, NAGR, SAF, ACLU and many other like minded civil liberties organizations. Since when does this make me a "destructive force", for exercising my rights under both the WA and US Constitutions? Your efforts to label me as a "bad guy" for no reason whatsoever are confusing.

Gun ownership by law abiding citizens represents a "destructive force" to society? Following that logic is the Constitution also “Destructive Force”? The Constitutin is a recognition of unalienable rights, it does not grant them. To make a statement like yours is (in my opinion) a statement in support of Totalitarianism.

First line - should be comment, not commend. But gets the point across.

Ah SNAP! Dang, hate when that happens. Well, if they read it the point does come across.

Hell, the POS , excuse me, the POTUS says we are worse than ISIS!

Just more pandering by a moron for the morons.

Inslee is a moronic brown noser whose only goal is to appease the liberals in DC so he can get a job there. The governor of this state should work on improving this state instead of promoting his liberal agenda and making a name for himself elsewhere. He's sure not making much of a name for himself here; at least not a good one.

This is no different from the last 25 years of liberal governors. Why should he be any different?
