While most speculate about the true intentions of the blatant and obviously anti-Constitutional false flag Jade Helm exercise, something else has been creeping up on the unaware, like spilled molasses in January.
First, a bit of background:
Some may recall that Bloomberg et al, back in 2012 spent multi millions of his largess, organizing and financing anti-gun groups nationally. This did not go over too well in the politically red states, but on both the liberal east and west coasts he successfully enlisted numerous politicians to his demented cause.
The result has been that some states have passed onerous anti-gun edicts under the color of law, which not only pissed off millions of legal gun owners but has also energized the Patriot community like very few other political actions can do.
You may not be fully aware of the ramifications. In NY, CT, And MD, for example, so many gun owners (up to 95 percent in some cases) simply refused to comply with the unconstitutional 'laws' AT ALL..
Although the laws held a FELONY promise for non compliance, the message to the controllers was clear. There is no way short of police state confiscation that will force compliance. Such attempted actions would undoubtedly lead to bloodshed. In NY, state police and sheriffs simply said they would not enforce the law. Impasse.
Thus, the gun grabbers have painted themselves into a corner in the east. Furthermore, (at least in theory) the governments of those states are presently breaking their own laws by their failure to implement the law, more than 2 years after the laws were passed.
En garde, Check.
As another in-your-face to gun grabbers, since the initial anti-gun surge sponsored by Bloomberg, many states have passed pro-gun modifications to their existing pro-gun statutes (FL, TX, AL, GA, LA, MS, UT, KS, AZ, to name SOME) which has infuriated the gun grabbers no end. Even CO rescinded their hastily passed magazine ban. In addition, northern CA is known as a hotbed of non-compliance.
Please note that most, if not all, of these are JADE HELM states.
Now to the meat of the title of this post.
Some more background...
In the meantime, out west in liberally-governed OR and WA, similar Bloomberg orchestrated BS had nearly ignited a tinderbox. The OR legislature, which had passed edicts similar to those on the east cost, ie, magazine and sporting rifle limitations, had their faces reddened by similar 'will not comply' open carry demonstrations at their capitol and courthouses. OR sheriffs and state police refused to confront the demonstrators.
In WA, edicts were passed recently which require all firearm transactions, INCLUDING giving one of your guns to a family member, LOANING your gun to a buddy at the rifle range for a few shots, or, heaven forbid selling or trading it away to ANYONE, even leaving it to your heirs, requires an ATF background check, and the penalty for disregarding such is a FELONY.
Enter the Patriots:
Now this weekend, June 20-21, In WA, Yakima, to be exact, Patriots have organized a "Firearms Expo". whose sole purpose is to rebut, belittle and DISOBEY that unconstitutional edict.
You can read all about it here> http://www.arms-expo.com/ .
The neat thing is...IT IS NOT A "GUN SHOW", where a plethora of licensed gun dealers gather to sell their wares. Licensed gun dealers must comply with ATF rules and fill out federal paperwork for gun sales, so they won't be there.
This "EXPO" is more of a 'faire' where ordinary people and private owner/collectors gather for comradeship, games, family fun, shooting classes, AND to sell and/or trade their weapons in open and blatant DEFIANCE.
It shall be an interesting indeed to monitor this latest in your face non-compliance by Patriots.
Indeed, with the Patriot reaction to Bundy Ranch and the Oathkeepers response in Oregon to the BLM over reach on historical, perfectly legal mining claims in OR, it makes one wonder about the true legacy and purpose of Jade Helm.
The BLM confrontations were "won" (kinda) by the Patriots, and at least for now, they have been peaceful, sort of.
But here is the deal. The 'laws' are clear in the gun-grabber states. Gun owners and Patriots are CLEARLY "lawbreakers". What is a government to do about it? Will they rescind their edicts? Will They ignore this act of defiance?
OR
Since posse comitatus precludes 'military' from enforcing civil laws with force, is the 'just as capable' DHS army of Obozo the 'not military' who will enforce edicts that the individual state police and sheriffs will not?
We shall see. Soon....

There is an interesting commentary on this expo by Mike Vanderboegh (The founder of the lll % movement) at http://sipseystreetirregulars.blogspot.com/2015/06/once-again-i-have-folks-asking-me-not.html
He likens it to the mistakes often made by people in power. In the article, he invokes Sun Tsu, and discusses the possible reaction (or inaction) by the PTB.
