The title of the article masks the point of the story.
“I’m a liberal Democrat — I’ve voted for only one Republican in my life,” Palmer told me. “But now I understand why my right-wing opponents worry about having to fight a government takeover.”

He added: “It’s exactly this sort of thing that drives people into the arms of the NRA.”

I have been blasting the NRA for its paranoia in the gun-control debate. But Palmer is right — you can’t fully blame them, when cops going door-to-door shows up in legislation.

The "misstep" is in fact no misstep at all. The house-to-house "inspections" to ensure compliance provision is no misstep. This provision is the next step towards confiscation. Washingtonians must remain vigilant and be warned that this will return and it will be enacted into law.

Make a law, any law, just write one up so we can all sign it to prove we are good and right and wholesome....................

"I did not read the Bill before I signed it."





and we pay these people to do this

I'm not concerned yet, this is being pushed by the usual suspects who've pushed this bill in like, every single one of the last legislative sessions. It's been referred to committee, with no date scheduled, I doubt the committee will even hear it.

so I'm not concerned yet. the type of people who are introducing this bill and co-sponsoring it are people who never claimed to be pro-gun anyway.

But you should be ... You should be concerned that someone with this mindset, with these intentions, holds a civil service position of power and has the desire to create laws that leverage against the common citizen in the name of zealous control.
