The Left has organized heavily; and it is something they’re good at being backed by bankrolling from high dollar members of society along with actors and actresses to put a face out there.  Not to mention they have the backing of their jobs, or gainful employment as a paid protestor.

What do we have?  We have each other more than any single organization or anyone.  As much we seem measly attempts by the NRA or otherwise, they haven’t caught on to the radical tactics the left has of bussing in people nor pre-printed protest signs one way or the other.

What do we do?  How do we do it?  How do we minimize our own crazies?  Where do we rally?  When do we?  How do we get the actual support we need?

A way to emotionally hit:  Interview various gun shop owners around the state, new shops included, to display in what way the proposed legislation would economically impact their businesses, families and overall lives.  Qhat role would it have in keeping them or not in WA, etc

Recall petition halted things in Colorado.  For how long I have no idea.

Perhaps it is time for asymmetrical politics:
Legislators that introduce or sponsor or cosponsor bills that are unconstitutional shall be immediately reported to the ethics & disciplinary committees for breach of oath of office. Ties up the system in red tape, if nothing comes of this action, this builds a case for collusion in federal court.

If the person/persons have any professional licenses (Active members of the Washington State Bar) a BAR complaint shall be filed.  When their license is on the line perhaps they will think twice about committing acts of fraud against the citizenry of the state.

Go to the legislators town meetings, ask them questions.  Record these sessions and place the recordings online.  Questions like, "Hey if this is such a great idea to place these restrictions on firearms rights, then placing these same restrictions on (fill in the blank here) {Abortion, Voting, Health Care, Legal Counsel, Speech, Religion, etc} is reasonable too, right?"

Remind people that laws are not merely unconditional because of Articale I SECTION 24 RIGHT TO BEAR ARMS. The right of the individual citizen to bear arms in defense of himself, or the state, shall not be impaired, but nothing in this section shall be construed as authorizing individuals or corporations to organize, maintain or employ an armed body of men. But also Article II SECTION 19 BILL TO CONTAIN ONE SUBJECT. No bill shall embrace more than one subject, and that shall be expressed in the title.

EDIT:
Introduce initiatives of our own.

That would not have any emotional impact.  Emotional impact is when all of the people tell sad stories and start crying in front of the legislators about someone they know that was hurt by a gun.  Unfortunately that tactic won't work for us.

Tell stories where guns saved lives.  Whether soldiers, here at home, LE, etc.  We have to be creative.
