Thank you for the update; please keep up the good work. I expect RetiredUSNchief is correct, and we won't get a firm opinion soon. I think we'll likely have to just wait and see what the practical effect is.

Well, again: WA elected the AG to be the top lawyer for the state of WA. Not to be every Washingtonian's attorney. He can't, and shouldn't, provide legal advice to random citizens. Now, the office of the attorney general can issue statements on laws. It's reasonable to expect that office to...

That Gavin fellow sounds dangerous. To himself, to others (particularly LEOs), and to 2nd Amendment rights. Yikes. Add my voice to the chorus saying this rally is a bad idea. 594 passed. Overwhelmingly, in my county (King: 75%). 591 lost by a similar margin. These were citizen initiatives...

A question of clarity: are these AG responses any different from a question about, say, the new marijuana laws? Or any other laws? In other words: what's the "control" in this email inquiry experiment? Is there actually anything unusual/unreasonable going on? Seems to me like enforcement...

It's probably media bias, but there sure have been a lot of news stories about legal gun owners killing people who, honestly, shouldn't have been shot. Here's one from this morning: http://www.cnn.com/2014/01/14/justice/florida-movie-theater-shooting/index.html Synopsis: Guy 1 was texting...

Well articulated, Clean97GTI. That pretty much sums me up as well. I do get the feeling that this is all a massive bit of misdirection. Executive Orders have little actual effect, and the NRA's massive political donations will keep any serious gun legislation from going anywhere. It's all a...

Good job, SOTA. One thing that's amazed me is the ignorance in this "debate." If the pro-gun-control side doesn't bother to learn the facts of the discussion, how can it be called a debate? Case in point is this concept of "assault weapons." Most times, the folks throwing around that term...

Saw this article about a group that intends to develop, and freely distribute, plans for a pistol which can then be printed by a 3-D printer. So anyone with a 3-D printer can then print as many of such guns as desired...

Awesome! Congrats on your ongoing success!

Before I voted, I thought I'd consider what the president actually said. I agree with the president of the United States. Absolutely. This one's trickier. He's saying that "a lot" of gun owners would agree that AK-47s don't belong on city streets. Let's break that down: 1) AK-47s. AK-47s...

OP, I think you'd be surprised how many gun owners (and gun-curious, soon-to-be gun owners) are gamers. In Seattle there's even a gun geek club. http://www.geekswithguns.com/ http://gunnuts.net/2011/03/10/seattle-geek-shootout/ It makes sense; many popular games (Counter-Strike, Call of...

Columbine, for one. Not sure what the other one is.

I've seen this before, and I just don't understand it. Or agree. I *like* concealed carry laws. I *like* registration of guns to that gun's owner. I *like* limits on fully automatic weapons. I *like* that certain actions or circumstances forfeit a person's RKBA (mental illness, age, criminal...

KUOW discussed the issue this morning. Apparently there's a law on the books--signed last year--that allows families and other 3rd parties to commit crazies. The law was never implemented, due to budget cuts. After much discussion, the takeaway was that the solution to crazy murderers is to...

I've gotta say, that stool-throwing article (http://www.king5.com/news/local/Hero-threw-stool-at-shooter-in-cafe-saved-3-lives-156032685.html) is a huge win for RKBA. If that stool guy had thrown lead instead of furniture, the gunman would never have been able to murder the woman he carjacked. A...
