What are the chances of getting yourself off the list without spending piles of money on lawyers, doctors & court? Facetious question, I know the answer.

That is my concern.  Young individuals may want to be on the list because it's trendy or they want to get with some girl.  Then a few years later they have a little more sense and now want to buy a gun for whatever reason.  But the list and the removal process will be daunting enough to give up and do some other activity.

This is a great program and should be expanded to driving as well.

Our esteemed legislators passing useless laws to make themselves feel good and look like they are doing something. We should give them two weeks every year to pass laws. And that is it, no extensions. We have enough laws.

From the article " If they change their mind, they have to wait seven days before the county can revoke it." Revoking it takes filling out a form and showing ID. 

I’m skeptical. If the people in Olympia see a way to keep people from buying guns, they’ll do it.

I wonder how many people will be manipulated when they are grieving. A smooth-talking health worker. Just sign this it's only temporary.


Ever hear the term "I'm from the government and here to help"

Agree. They will eventually find a way to make it super difficult to get off the list. Would probably be used against the individual in a red flag situation as well. I guarantee some “ woke” man bun kid will do it to display his virtue and never be able to own a gun again. Or at least it will be very difficult. It sounds good in the political explanation-it always sounds better when it’s presented by politicians. It’s absurd that they are actually getting people to voluntarily give away their rights. I understand the mental health issues with people I am close to as well. The bottom line is they are using that situation to make it sound like a good idea. It is not

Somehow I can't keep from thinking this "List" of self restricting persons is merely a thin veil on a larger goal.   It is unlawful to retain a "List" of firearms owners , but there must be a list that will need to be cross checked for the self restricted...

Congratulations , your not on That list , but now you are on the Other list.

Now the state has a ready made list of what you purchased , and who purchased it , bypassing any ATF requests for non-searchable firearms transactions history.

It's been a law for 4 years. Has anyone heard of anything bad happening?

[NRA4LIFE]

Yes!  Certain people getting agitated over nothing.

Not me. If someone was denied when they tried to get their gun rights back, I don’t think it would probably make the news. And if it did it wouldn’t be a very big story, so most of us wouldn’t hear about it.
I’m thinking of you don’t trust yourself to not go buy a gun, get a accountability partner who is of sound mind. Problem solved.

That article is weird as heck, it’s like a musical just jumping into some odd description of unrelated crap here and there, and and then right back into the article.

The talk of making it a civil infraction to violate the terms of the list.
Some college kid will join the list and then 10 years later after having forgot about it will try to buy a gun for self protection and get an infraction.

It sounds good on paper, but will mentally I’ll folks join the list? Have any done so since inception or are the 20 odd people on the list not of the group the list is claiming to be intended for? And one step deeper, will any mentally ill folks who are likely to use guns
in a negative fashion volunteer for the list?

Will they add another question to the 4473? They could put it right by the “have you ever renounced you US citizenship?” one and ask “have you ever voluntarily waived you second amendment rights?”

I don’t see why they should stop folks from giving up their rights, but I also can’t understand why a sane person would ever consider doing so.
