I've been following the threads on here since Wednesday and have noticed the "knee jerk" reactions of people who want nothing better than to get arrested by SPD for criminal trespass because of the gun ban at Seattle Parks & Recreation run facilities.
PLEASE, for all our sakes, just sit down and think this out. SAF has been on top of this since last year when Mayor Chucklehead first proposed an executive order banning guns in city facilities. They have the people lined up. They have the lawyers. They have the name recognition. And they have close to, if not more than, a year of planning.
What do we have? We have a bunch of loosely affiliated guys with no clout who want to go off half cocked and prove to the antis that the mayor is right. "These people are too dangerous to have a gun." In fact, they will probably have their gun confiscated and their CPL revoked. Oh, they would get them back eventually, but what a colossal pain in the butt!
Right now, guys, we have Olympia on our side. We have a nationally recognized group poised to sue,and we have more of the populace on our side than the mayor's office is prepared to admit. So let's just sit tight for now, lend our full support to SAF and let this thing play out in court.
We're GOING to win. Let's take the high road while we do it and be confident in the outcome. We can educate while we wait. This is the perfect opportunity.
