Gun Owners Violate WA I-594 —
Over 1,000 Gun Owners Violate Washington’s I-594 – In Front Of Police!
Rachel Alexander | Dec 15, 2014
Fed up with the passage of an 18½-page incoherent, rambling, unconstitutional gun control initiative that was bankrolled by billionaires, gun owners across Washington state held the largest felony civil disobedience rally in the nation’s history, brazenly titled “I Will Not Comply.” No one was hurt and no stores were looted. Between 1,000 and 3,000 lawful gun owners showed up openly armed at the state capitol in Olympia, Wash., on Saturday to defy the newly passed gun control law, I-594.
Organizer Gavin Seim made the extraordinary nature of the rally very clear, “This isn’t just a protest. We are here to openly violate the law.” Attendees publicly transferred their guns to each other in violation of I-591’s background check provisions, and some even bought and sold guns just a few feet away from law enforcement. A fire pit blazed throughout the rally, and at the conclusion, gun owners lined up to burn their concealed weapons permits. A petition was circulated affirming gun owners’ refusal to follow I-594, which ended with, “We pledge our blood. We will not comply.”
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.
The rally could not be dismissed as fringe elements. Several lawmakers and lawmen spoke, including former Graham County Sheriff Richard Mack of Arizona, Washington State Rep. Elizabeth Scott (R-Monroe) and Rep. Graham Hunt (R-Orting), who sported an AR-15 during his speech. Mack advised gun owners engaging in civil disobedience to “put your sheriff next to you to keep it peaceful.” Scott defiantly explained in her speech, “I will not comply with I-594 because it is unconstitutional, unenforceable and unjust. It is impossible to enforce this law unless there is a police officer on every back porch and in every living room. So it will be enforced selectively.” She noted that Founding Father Alexander Hamilton said any law that violates the Constitution is not valid, and there is a moral obligation to disobey unjust laws.
Seim, a political activist and congressional candidate, wrote on his website, “Today I become an OUTLAW! Arrest me! I will NOT comply.” He led the rally peacefully, and at one point asked everyone attending to kneel with him in prayer. As he led the crowd in the Pledge of Allegiance, he stressed, “I am not pledging obedience to the government, it is to the Republic. We don’t ask for our rights, and we don’t negotiate for our rights. We will take America back.”
Another speaker explained what was happening this way, “We no longer consent nor comply.” Mike Vanderboegh, whose Three Percenter movement is modeled after the three percent of the colonists who fought in the American War of Independence, said that those at the rally are the resistance behind enemy lines. The resistance is also taking place in a handful of other states with strict gun control laws, where patriots are now smuggling in weapons illegally. Vanderboegh told attendees, “This is the tyranny the Founding Fathers warned us about. Tyranny can be voted into existence by a majority. We will not fire the first shot, but if need be, we will fire the last.”
Gun control zealots have finally gone too far. Gun owners are now discovering that the police in New York are using gun control laws to confiscate guns from family members within days after their owners pass away. Hundreds of thousands of gun owners in Connecticut and New York who failed to register their AR-15s earlier this year are now felons. Requiring the registration of guns or requiring background checks, as I-594 does, allows the government to compile a list of gun owners, which can be used later for confiscation.
If guns cause crime, then why wasn’t there a single mishap, considering there were 1,000 or so guns present and hundreds of violations of felony law taking place? Tellingly, Washington State Trooper Guy Gill predicted beforehand, “”Most of these folks are responsible gun owners. We probably will not have an issue.” The truth is, the state capitol was probably the safest place in the state last Saturday.
Patriots have had enough. The Second Amendment is gradually being eroded, state by state, and gun owners are not going to lie down and give up their arms. A handful of billionaires and elitists in blue cities like Seattle do not respect the Constitution nor represent the vast majority of Americans. Another rally in Olympia is planned for January 15, and another one in Spokane on December 20. The Second Amendment Foundation, headquartered in Bellevue, intends to sue the state over I-594, and will be lobbying the legislature to get the law changed or repealed. Washington state is now ground zero for patriotic gun owners resisting tyranny, which is at a tipping point since law enforcement does not intend to enforce I-594. What happens next?

More armed gatherings are planned.
will continue to be harmed until they counterattack with greater force than the mob. The mob has nothing to fear until then.
Law enforcement has been burdened with such restrictive rules of engagement that they can only watch unless they themselves come under attack.
The people need to handle the problem themselves. Stop looking to the authorities for protection.
Law enforcement, stay out of the way.

do not want justice. They are children having a tantrum because the system won’t give them the revenge they want. Damn the justice system. Damn the grand jury. Damn the facts. Damn the law. They want revenge.
to waste.
Prior to the announcement of the grand jury decision, Missouri Governor Nixon declared a state of emergency Monday and activated the National Guard.
But when the violent rioting started Monday night, the NG was nowhere to be seen. They arrived Tuesday morning only after 25 businesses were destroyed.
Missouri lieutenant governor Peter Kinder speculates that obama pressured Nixon to withhold the troops. Only a higher office, the president, could override a governor’s order to use the national guard.

How many leeches do you know? Are there any in your family? Do you defend their RIGHT to my money by saying that the ‘haves’ have too much and a lot should be confiscated through taxes? Do you defend the ever-growing number of social spending programs that get their money from me?
I hate liberalism / socialism. People should carry their own weight. Do you rely on politicians to take my money from me and give it to you, your family, and your friends? You do it that way anonymously so you don’t have to look me in the face. You damned coward.
I’ve worked hard for what I have. I’ll have to work my entire life, not because I’m doing poorly, but because too much of what I earn is confiscated to support the leeches in our society. Do you have any idea how much money they’ve taken from me over the years to support the leeches? The only result I’ve seen is that MY FUTURE is being threatened.
A person’s situation is the result of the decisions made in his past, over a long period of time. Do the people you know really make an effort to be independent? Or do they pray for a cost of living increase in their welfare (which will come from me!).
Our society was made great by people doing what they had to do when there was no safety net. Now, people’s efforts are being undermined, not by the existence of the net, but by people who gain power by selling that net as a replacement for carrying one’s own weight. To do it, the politicians MUST destroy pride, and then blame and punish the successful.
I hate liberalism / socialism. It destroys wealth and undermines the pursuit of it.

all mean nothing. The progressive liberal POS has decided to govern by executive order.
Before his term is over he will ignore Supreme Court decisions that impede his agenda.

an economic summit in Australia on Sunday said,
“I would just advise every press outlet here: Pull up every clip and every story,” Obama said. “I think it’s fair to say there was not a provision in the health care law that was not extensively debated and was fully transparent — it was a tough debate.”

This is happening all the time now, all over the country.
We started seeing things like this ever since cameras became commonplace and concealable.
After the cop hit him, the cop asked the young man whether he was going to resist arrest. The cop WANTED him to fight back. The cop WANTED to get away with doing more damage.
When a cop assaults you, you don’t have to just stand there and take it. You can’t trust him to stop before he does real damage. If you end up in the hospital he’ll just claim you resisted.
The people in that area should find Sgt Glans when he’s alone and teach him a lesson.
I remember watching TV series in which the officers of Internal Affairs were portrayed as the bad guys. We were fed a crock of shit.
