As the RSVPs in advance of the rally grew to over 6,000, the police - most who probably detest I-594 - decided not to enforce the law. The Washington State Patrol announced there would be no arrests for exchanging guns - not even for selling guns. Seim refused to obtain a permit to hold the rally, citing the right of people to peaceably assemble.
Wow. Another victory. I need to celebrate!

Actually, an abundance of bad law's passing is the breakdown of society. These political zealots are passing legislation based on personal ideology rather than the Constitution (both state and federal). Politicians gave themselves the luxury of not being held accountable for their actions... how convenient!

The laws need to be changed so that politicians can be held accountable for bad laws they pass, and liable for unintended consequences. After all, they are the protectors of the peoples trust.

I'm just saying... you don't poke a hornets nest with a stick, unless you enjoy pain.
