I feel sorry for those that live there and are watching their freedoms get eroded.

Only people this affects, even remotely, would be the 2A supporter living in SeaTac. Anywhere else in that state, nobody with a "banned" weapon will give one rat's patootie about that dumbass SeaTac-only law.

To pro gun control folks, it isn't freedom being lost, it is freedom being gained. The pro 2nd amendment group in WA is shrinking by the day.

Freedom from what? The law won't stop criminals from getting firearms, it won't stop people intent on doing harm to others from doing so. Exactly what freedom are they gaining here?

That is their flawed logic. They think if they take guns away from the law abiding, it will make them safer.

So we should ease the way for the criminals?

Actually this may be a good thing for pro 2nd citizens. This may be the case that makes it to the Supreme Court, and with our newly seated pro 2nd justice all of this ban nonsense may be ended.

Oh now you've gone off the deep end. This thread is headed straight to comic land with this. A fictional character is now 'an expert' on something? ROTFLMAO!
