In his letter, Sideshow Bob never refers to the citizens who oppose more gun control. He always says 'the gun lobby", like if it weren't for the NRA we wouldn't care. The message we send is that we're not the gun lobby. We're citizens of this state and we're worried about our own safety and that of our families in the wake of out-of-control violent crime. With King Co. Prosecutor Shatterberg refusing to do his job prosecuting violent criminals and terrorists taking over entire blocks of the Emerald City unopposed, while both Shatterberg and Ferguson do nothing during or after. City, County, and State politicians spout anti-police rhetoric and chant "defund the police". And our legislature ties the hands of police with unthinkably irresponsible legislation, making them hesitant to respond when we the people need them. All of this and a statewide vaccine mandate has caused a crisis in the plummeting numbers of police who choose to stay in their jobs, and the heretofore unseen escalation of crime on our streets. We need to be able to protect ourselves.
