Discontent over Washington gun laws leads group to talk of 'citizen's arrest' of Bob Ferguson

YELM, Thurston County — The talk at the Yelm Prairie Christian Center was of frustration and anger — and of what to do about Washington Attorney General Bob Ferguson.

So intense is the distress over new firearms regulations in the state and Ferguson’s support of them that a group of 35 or so came together to discuss what many saw as a constructive next step: Go to court to file citizen complaints against Ferguson or maybe even attempt a citizen’s arrest of him.

Many wore insignia of the Washington Three Percenters — a group whose website says its goal is to “utilize the fail safes put in place by our founders to reign (SIC) in an overreaching government and push back against tyranny.”

The meeting reflected the simmering discontent among gun-rights advocates for a slew of new restrictions approved in recent years by Washington’s voters and lawmakers. Lawmakers, judges and elected officials, they say, are violating their Second Amendment rights.

Much of the night’s discussion focused on Initiative 1639, a measure broadly approved last year by nearly 60% of Washington voters, but one that also has inspired enough agitation to lead many county sheriffs to say they won’t enforce it.

Should legal efforts fail to halt the new gun laws, several in the crowd already are pondering drastic action against a government they view as stacked against them.

I-1639 was passed BY THE VOTERS. Bob Ferguson did not just declare this law of the land. Nobody has abridged their Second Amendment Rights. They think they're going to make a "citizen's arrest" of the AG ?? Good luck with that. Write us from prison. Let us know how that worked out for you.

I am getting so sick of these fucking gun-humping eunuchs.

Seriously, that “Christian Center” is engaging in partisan (as well as disgusting) politics. Churches are allowed to speak on social concerns of a political nature, but when it comes to overtly supporting or opposing a particular candidate, that’s sufficient reason for them to be stripped of their tax-exempt status.

Somehow, they think women will like them more if they can open carry a bazooka. It will just make their tiny penises look that much smaller.
