Pretty sad, isn't it? Hopefully the legal challenges to the law will get it removed.

I have two other kids who live and were born there. I would like to see them leave, also.
But, that probably won't happen
The wealthy bought that election. It would be GREAT to see the courts slap them down by nullifying their stupid law!
Moving to another state because of a gun law, plenty of higher priorities in life.

Doesn't surprise me it isn't being enforced, considering that Law enforcement opposed the initiative.

May the courts smile on WA State.
