Just kidding. We need to use the ones we already have. Like Foss shooter. He's 18--that's a Murder One charge, as well as at least one or two firearms violations. Life in prison, or save some money would be better still.

This is what I like to call playing possum. The anti-gunners are not rolling over. They want us to feel complacent. They want us to think they are not thinking about our rights. A nice article in the PI that our rights are safe is much smarter than crying about needing new gun laws. This article makes me want to protest new gun laws in Olympia more than ever. ~Icarus |

The article quotes lobbyist Natalie Reber, Executive Director of Washington Ceasefire as saying... "because it hasn't passed sensible gun laws to protect our children and families, such as mandatory background checks on all gun purchases. "Our elected officials had the opportunity (last) session to pass common-sense gun legislation. Instead they once again allowed the gun lobby to undermine any possibility of passing legislation supported by voters that would help keep guns out of the hands of criminals, terrorists and other prohibited purchasers." The irony here is the lobbyist Natalie Reber is also an appointed member of the King County Womens Advisory Board. This board is involved with women who a victims of domestic violence. Aparently she does not connect that if properly trained and armed these women may be able to defend themselves and avoid becoming the victim. Even more ironic is that she used to be the Chair of Pro Choice Washington and involved with NARAL. So apparently it is OK to kill helpless children in the womb via abortion, but once they pop out then there should be no guns to endanger them? Also women should not have the "Choice" to go to a gun show and buy a firearm should they "choose" not to become a victim. Perhaps a personal defense program for the victims of domestic violence would be a fresh way to connect the importance of self protection/survival and the rights outlined in the constitution. |
When the PI ran a poll in December of 2005 Ceasefires Poll from around the same time  The soundoff posts are interesting, take note that the most prolific anti in there is someone claiming to have grown up in Seattle now living in France Please leave the link cold http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/soundoff/comment.asp?articleID=298561 Please leave the link cold |

It didn't just end, it vanished from the webpage about 12 hours ago. When the PI puts up another poll they usually include a link to see past polls. Lets see if this poll shows up or not. ETA-it's not showing up here. Leave Link Coldhttp://seattlepi.nwsource.com/polls/one.aspLeave link Cold |
I'm debating whether or not to look. On one hand, it'll be entertaining, on the other, I might get an ulcer. |

Don't look, the expatmoms are inane. expatmom has already been backed into a corner on another thread there by being forced to admit that her contention is that unless a gun is stored such a manner that it is 100% theft proof then it is not stored appropriately. She ignored the responses that followed her agreeing to that as her position. That being it's a given that nothing is 100% theft proof it's therefore impossible for guns to be stored properly and as in the gun control zealots world, such proper storage is required for one to keep guns no guns can be kept. That makes for a 100% ban on guns without actually banning them, all in the guise of "safe storage"

To get a dose of refreshing intellectual honesty, you will pleased to look here, again:

Assuming those numbers are correct that is going to leave a mark! |
That is going to hurt! I honestly am laughing right now, and it dont do that very often... Thanks for putting me into a good mood for the day.

Here's a good quote from expatmom:
This goes back to the coke head who killed the Seattle police officer in a stolen car. Does that mean the owner of the car that was stolen is partially at fault for the police officers death? WTF?  That shit is extremely frustrating to read. |
+1 That's what you get for letting some post molestation traumatized, drunken speed freak steal your car. If only you'd have stored it safely.  |
