New legislative session begins in January. Get everything you want before then.....AND get active somehow. Even if its just participating in pro RKBA forums outside here.

With dimslee and turd fergusons re-election, plus dim majority in both houses, you can bet your ass theres going to be mag bans and salt wepunz bills thrown at the dart board.


Take a look at the Washington 2021 legislative action group on facebook. 8,000+ members now and its got the attention of our friendly house/senate members.

Expect extreme shenanigans for hearings due to Covid.  Like very limited in-person testimony, if allowed at all.  I wouldn't put it past them to try a "reservation" system which will oddly be opened to the opposition first and on a "first come, first served" basis.  Or they'll go with a Zoom type setup for public testimony, and they'll "magically" have technical difficulties during all our testimony, or cut off the mic, and let the opposition run long.

Dems own the vote counting machines, they don't care what the subjects think.  The future is bleak.

"What difference does it make"^TM to testify in person opposing proposed legislation when the state govt is a 1 party machine?  And state SC judges aren't going to rule in opposition to their party of preference, so don't look for relief there, either.  It would take a federal overruling via supremacy clause to slap this state down.

Yep, an up-mountain climb...the only real hope is some of the pro-gun D's like Blake don't cave.

We fought this battle last year...everyone remember the last minute stunts they tried to pull...you can bet it'll be every bit of that and more.  Speaker Jenkins will ramrod stuff through, count on it.

Despite the MASSIVE, devastating economic problems on the horizon with this yet again shutdown, they'll be sure to find time to tell law-abiding citizens how their guns and mags, that have NEVER been involved in a violent crime, are the problem.

Get involved, NOW.

Buncha horseshit is what it is.

They already basically announced this.



Not looking forward to January. I can only hope the shitshow that is the WA budget may distract them for a while.

Also, Dems didn't win a couple of the seats they hoped, the balance is unchanged as of today.

Thanks for the Bright and Hopeful future. I feel much better now.

We'd be doing ALOT better if we could get ALOT more of the law-abiding gun owners active and engaged in contacting legislators and making their voices heard, civilly, clearly and concisely.

Wayyyyyy too much apathy/complacency...or venting hot air on forums.  Need a lot more folks writing their representatives than just posting 'This is BS!' forums (which does absolutely nothing).

You want improvement?  Be that 'Somebody' who gets involved.  Not take the 'Somebody [else, other than my lazy a$$] should do something!' stance.  Again, that does absolutely nothing.

You need to be an active participant in your own political self-preservation as a law-abiding gun owner.  The days of throwing a $20 at the NRA and getting things done are over.

If you're not already at least talking to your shooting buddies, you're behind the curve...

And this year, perhaps with the lockdown, maybe Zoom or other platforms might offer new opportunities for folks to participate in hearings etc.  Yes, we know this will likely be manipulated...

Bottom line - get involved in some form or fashion (civilly of course)...Put up or shut up.  Pure and simple.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't Blake fail to get re-elected?  I thought he lost his seat to a Republican in the 19th.

This X 10,000 percent!

Too many WA gun owners tuck tail and run before the fight has even started.

Sorry - not sorry.  It's the truth.

Seriously:  many of y'all need to check for sack and then fall in.

Winners never quit and quitters never win.  Cliche' but true.

that's correct

I have been to many of the Olympia rallies since 2013.

I would bet that many of the people that show up in camo and jammie pants have never actually written their reps or scheduled a meeting with them.

I guess it's great that they provide warm bodies on site but basically it means nothing to Olympia politicians.

Despite being a D, Blake was very pro2A.  Having such 'on the other team' probably had benefits.

Don't know much about him, but let's hope the new guy, McEntire does a good job.

I think this could be a problem as having a gun rights voice on the other side of the isle was an ace in the home.

Get in the game folks, start your contact-plans your friends, family, shooting buddies and legislators now...you should know legislators contact info so you can call/write/email...

With 4 days until 2021...BTT

One of the best sources of up-to-the-minute info on gun rights legislation in Washington, including the "Easy Action of the Day" posts.

I deleted Suckbook. How else can you get info and stay involved. Just moved here and would like to get plugged in.
