Second Amendment Showdown: 5,500 Washington State Gun Owners Intend to Engage in Civil Disobedience

November 10, 2014|11:58 am

First Connecticut, and then New York passed gun control laws this year - that many people believe are unconstitutional - turninghundreds of thousands of AR-15 owners into felons simply for not registering their guns. Now, Washington state gun owners intend to take things to a new level in response to Washington's new gun control law. At least 5,500 are planning to openly violate the heavy-handed law, I-594, during a rally at the state capitol in Olympia on December 13th. The law goes into effect on December 4th, after the Secretary of State certifies the election results. Not a single so-called mainstream media source has mentioned the unprecedented event, even though RSVPs continue to increase every day.

This is practically unheard of in the modern era; not only will 5,500 people deliberately violate the law through civil disobedience, but will violate felony gun laws. Washington is one of few remaining blue states that has remained friendly to gun owners, and so gun owners are furious that a handful of billionaires were able to come in and buy the election, contributing about half the $10 million poured into the race to support I-594, almost 10 times as much as the opposition. Unsuccessful at getting the legislature to pass the law, gun control proponents resorted to billionaires to push it through instead as an initiative. Their money provided the resources to afford to run continuous misleading ads on TV.

The Facebook pagefor "I-594 I Will Not Comply" states, "We will rally at the capitol, openly exchange guns, unveil and plan to break apart the entire legislation and violate I-594 in every possible way We will buy and sell guns from whom we please, we will not submit to background checks, we will not give up our rights, WE WILL NOT comply."

Under I-594, transferring a gun to someone in most situations - such as loaning your gun to a family member or friend at the range - will constitute a felony. Most gun owners have transferred their gun at one point to a friend or relative to try shooting. One-third of Washington state residents are gun owners. Considering the population of Washington is about 7 million, that means as many as 2.3 million gun owners could now be felons for doing what they have commonly done in the past. And that is only the tip of the iceberg; the 18-page law contains many other poorly written, vague and onerous restrictions, too many to list here.

The number of RSVPs for the protest is stunning. A rally against I-594 that took place in downtown Seattle last month only attracted around 300 people.

What are the police going to do if 5,500 gun owners all commit felonies transferring their guns to each other at once? It would be impossible to try and arrest all 5,500. Rank and file law enforcement opposes I-594, as do more than two-thirds of the elected county sheriffs in Washington. A recent candidate for Yakima County Sheriff is helping set up the rally.

The point of the rally is to show that the law is so ridiculous, burdensome and convoluted that it is unenforceable. Unlike much prior civil disobedience, the protest will be nonviolent, and there is no reason to believe otherwise. At the rally against I-594 in downtown Seattle last month, where most protesters came armed, the only law enforcement agent visible who showed up to monitor the event was a Washington Park Ranger who was unarmed. This is because gun owners are some of the most law-abiding people in the country, and law enforcement knows this. The fact they have been provoked to civil disobedience - felony civil disobedience - is very disturbing.

Hungry with the taste of victory, gun control advocates in Washington are now moving on to get more legislation passed that will ban assault weapons, require trigger locks, and more infringements upon the Second Amendment.

Fortunately, opponents such as Washington's Second Amendment Foundation, and likely the NRA as well, are intending to file a lawsuit to challenge I-594, and will be lobbying the legislature to change or rescind it.

Open Carry or Constitutional Carry? Second Amendment advocates weigh in

CHL instructor Raul Camacho has 7 years of law enforcement experience. He teaches gun safety courses and CHL classes at "Safety Measures" in northwest Austin. Like the rest of the gun community, he heard our next governor, Gregg Abbott say this last week: "If an open carry bill is passed by the House and Senate and arrives at my desk, I will sign it into law."

Camacho says he supports the right to open carry only with a permit and training -- that doesn't mean he thinks carrying openly is a good idea.

"I support if anyone wants to let's call it 'Open Carry' on their side hip or whatever with a handgun, I support that by all means...but I don't suggest it, ok? For safety reasons," Camacho said.

He says the problem is that it often attracts a lot of attention -- sometimes unwanted attention...and he says open carriers could be a target for criminals.

"They can grab that gun, knock you out, take that gun away from you, shoot you with it, knock you out or use it on somebody else," Camacho said.

Justin Delosh is the legislative director for Come and Take it Texas. He views the issue differently than Camacho.

"We support both rights, we support the right to concealed carry and the right to open carry. We think it's unethical for the state to profit off a person's ability to defend themselves. So we're pushing for both without a permit," Delosh said.

Hence the term "Constitutional Carry."

"Constitutional Carry means that if you're legally allowed to posses the firearm, you should be able to carry it openly or concealed without a permit," Delosh said.

If Abbott ends up signing a Constitutional Carry bill, Camacho says he won't support it.
