TAKE MY GUNS, I DON'T CARE ANYMORE

[ICEMAN]

Go ahead and TAKE MY GUNS from me. I am fed up and tired.

How in the hell am I supposed to keep up with all this legislative crap when I am a simple Joe trying to get to work on time?

I barely have enough time to relax and surf the web for hunting/fishing stuff!

I DO NOT HAVE THE TIME to get involved, I just want to hit the river this weekend!

I don't even know WHO represents me legislatively or congressionaly. What's the damned difference?

I wouldn't even know HOW to contact anyone, even if I knew who they were...

Besides, I would sound like a moron, and not know what to say...

Sound familiar?



Guys, we are all taxed to the max right now. Work your butt off to just keep your job. I understand that you want to just put the head in the sand occasionally, just to ignore all this crap that our lawmakers are trying to cram down our throats.

Please, please, please take the time to log in to the link I provide below.

Take the time to fill in your address, simply click on Find My District. It is so easy!!!

Take the time to check out who is representing you.

Print their homepage/face/name/contact page. Post it on your wall or refrigerator.

Email them. Let them know who you are, and what you want them to do for you.

You are paying them a ton of money to listen to you....have you told them how to vote?


Guys, this link will put you in touch with the correct legislator you pay for.

You owe it to yourself, your family, your sport, your community and your country to do this.

Write to your state legislators about SB6396, how you oppose it, how it will do nothing but turn law abiding hunters like yourself into criminals. Say something now!

Write to your congressional representatives and tell them how you oppose healthcare reforms.Tell them to stop bankrupting this country. Say something now!

Some of us have not taken the time to do this. If this is you, I am pleading for you to give it one hour of your busy day. Take one hour, use the link, learn who it is that is screwing you over, write to them. Learn how to do this if you have not done it already.

Learn and share with your wife, your brother, your hunting buddy, your kids.

Please step up and do this.

Please give it one single hour of your precious day.

Is one hour worth it, or do you give up and want to simply let them have their way, bankrupt this country, outlaw the guns you already have...? 

Please do it, I did.

Sent emails to all three....doubt it will ever get read, especially since the topic was Opposition to SB6396.

I would like to know where they think they get the right to have a warrantless search of our homes once a year?

Thanks Ice- It only took ten minutes and not the hour you said it would, here is what I sent-

Please vote no on Sb6396. As a hunter, I enjoy the recreational opprotunities this state has to offer. Many of the rifles, shotguns, and pistols in this bann are used by tax paying and law abiding citizens every day for recreation. Slowly stripping away the rights of honest citizens does not change criminals. I could go on but I am sure you can tell where my point is going. Thank you for your time. Matt Kyllonen

I got a reply today from my state Senator, she is a Dem and obviosly not interested in sharing her view or how she intends to vote....;

Dear Kevin:

Thank you for contacting in opposition of SB 6396, which would ban the sale of assault weapons.

This issue is the subject of a lot of conversation this session. It's helpful for me to know your views.

Thanks for contacting me. Please stay in touch.

Sincerely,

Karen Fraser
State Senator, 22nd District

Now if everyone on here would send their opinion about the bill....

[Whitelightning]

Thnks for grtting us motivated ICEMAN 

[Whitelightning]

Got a reply from Hans Dunshee. Said he would not likley support it but he had not read it.

[shoot-em-dead]

I received a reply- very interesting

Matt,

 

Thank you for writing to me in opposition to Senate Bill 6396, a measure that would ban assault weapons.  I too oppose this bill and hope it meets the same fate as the 2005 assault weapons ban legislation, Senate Bill 5475, which died in committee.

 

There is an interesting twist to the reintroduction of this bill in 2010. It comes in the wake of the police officer killings as a remedy for these tragedies, but it does not address the firearms used in those murders. The four Lakewood police officers were killed with a revolver and a stolen 9mm pistol – the primary weapon was the six-shot revolver.

The rifle used to kill the Seattle police officer does not meet “assault weapon” criteria in SB 6396. Officer Brenton was killed by a type of rifle owned by thousands of law-abiding Washington hunters, competitors and recreational target shooters.

Chelan County Sheriff Mike Harum was appointed by the governor to a law enforcement panel looking into the recent police officer murders. Here is what he said about the man who killed the four Lakewood police officers:

“Maurice Clemmons violated many firearms laws before he murdered the officers, so it seems rather dubious to argue additional laws might have prevented this tragedy.”

Two bills have been introduced that really could help prevent these tragedies in the future:

Senate Bill 6203 – This measure would create a scoring system based on an offender’s misdemeanor domestic violence history when determining a felony domestic violence sentence. The goal is to keep chronic abusers in jail longer and allow their victims to start a new life. Deputy Mundell was shot while responding to a domestic violence call concerning a repeat offender.

 

 

 

Senate Joint Memorial 8218 – This measure is a constitutional amendment that would prohibit bail for offenses that may result in a mandatory life sentence upon conviction. The killer of the four Lakewood Police Officers would not have been able to bail out of jail had this provision been in place.

 

In my opinion, even holding a public hearing on Senate Bill 6396 is a waste of time. Legislators should be focused on solving the budget crisis with reforms – not taxes – and taking steps to help our business community retain and create new jobs.

 

Thank you again for sharing your thoughts with me.

 

Sincerely,

 

 

 

Senator Mark Schoesler

9th Legislative District

[ICEMAN]

Shootemdead, we need more legislators like the one you have there... mine suck azz'...

[Whitelightning]

Here is what my senator Steve Hobbs said in reply to my email,

Scott,

 

I am a strong proponent of our 2nd Amendment rights, and do not support any legislation of this kind. I fully support a person's right to bare arms.

Your comments are the kind I love to hear. Thank you so much for taking the time to contact my office, and please continue to do so should you have any questions or comments throughout session.

 

Best,

 

Steve

I think I like this  Guy,
