The presence of weapons at the Capitol "keeps the chance of somebody getting very upset at us or at the staff or at the governor. We just don't need that kind of pressure."

I disagree, it's pressure that is needed to get things done.

Sounds like the same baloney we're running into every year in Virginia. Thanks to the efforts of Virginia Citizen's Defense League, the vast bulk of gun control bills die in committee.

Amazing how the gun-grabbers never give up on banning guns. It's almost a religion with them.

"I think anybody brandishing a gun or threatening somebody with a gun is illegal everywhere"; he said. "Why would this be different than a grocery store or a park?"

WOW, a politician that finally gets it. Why should someone get more protections than the common man on the street just because they happen to work at the capitol.

"Right now in Washington state it would be easier to track a carton of milk bought at Safeway with a Safeway card than a gun bought at a gun show," said Jon Scholes, a board member with Washington CeaseFire, the state's largest gun control group.

I wonder why this guy thinks it's anyone's job to "track" guns. Well, maybe the name of his organization explains why he thinks that.

It's good that so many activists are making their voices heard.

I believe this is a direct attack on Eastern WA for voting against "Queen G", plenty of us out here didn't want her in office so she's hitting below the belt.

"It's just simple commonsense," she said. The presence of weapons at the Capitol "keeps the chance of somebody getting very upset at us or at the staff or at the governor. We just don't need that kind of pressure."

"As property, honestly obtained, is best secured by an equality of rights, so ill-gotten property depends for protection on a monopoly of rights. He who has robbed another of his property, will next endeavor to disarm him of his rights, to secure that property; for when the robber becomes the legislator he believes himself secure." -- Thomas Paine, Dissertations on First Principles of Government
" In other words, 'Gun control' isn't just 'victim disarmament'; more precisely, it is 'making the world safe for control-freak politicians and bureaucrats -- Bert Rand

-- from Quotes on the Right to Keep and Bear Arms
