: At the end of the rally, gun owners burned their concealed
: weapons permits and signed a petition vowing to refuse to
: follow the new gun control law. The petition ended with the
: text, “We pledge our blood. We will not comply.”
: This certainly isn’t the first large scale act of civil
: disobedience by gun owners in defiance of gun laws. Earlier
: this year in Connecticut hundreds of thousands of gun
: owners refused to send in their gun registration forms,
: also becoming felons. Similar numbers of gun owners in New
: Yorke have also refused to send in their registration
: paperwork and some even video taped themselves burning the
: forms.
: Fed up with the passage of an 18˝-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
: petitionwas 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 nowfelons.
: 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.
: New Yorkers burn their notices to give the guns up :-)
