Dunno whether to laugh or cry.<\/p>\n
Alan Gottlieb and other mainstreamers sponsored a rally this morning in Olympia, Washington, to plead with legislators to undo the ghastly billionaire-driven I-594. <\/p>\n
Although a bill to do that is in the works, WA law doesn’t allow a voter-passed initiative to be easily altered or overturned in its first two years. So that’s interesting in itself. (And never forget: Gottlieb wants<\/i> background checks; he just wants to be at the table to make the deals.)<\/p>\n
What’s more interesting is that today’s Gottliebian beg-your-legislators rally drew only about 1\/10th — one tenth<\/i> — the number that Gavin Seim’s “I Will Not Comply” rally brought to the Capitol last month. That was the rally that Gottlieb tried to undermine<\/a>.<\/p>\n But here’s the really<\/i> interesting part. Despite organizers’ requests that everybody leave their guns at home (because, you know, guns are nasty, scary things) … most of the crowd showed up armed<\/a>. So they weren’t there for Gottliebian purposes.<\/i><\/p>\n Yep. In state after state where new anti-freedom outrages have become law, angry, rebellious gun owners are doing the leading while “leaders” stagger along after them, protesting, “Bu-bu-but!”<\/p>\n
