People in Seattle are like: they commit suicide because they’re afraid of dying; that’s their mentality.

No, the article is about King County's proposed gun sign law.

I-1639 is only an also mention.

It used to be known as King County until government leaders decided they did not like the historical connotations of the name. So they voted to rename the county, King County. Look it up.

What does that even mean? Used to be King so they renamed it King?

Apparently, they changed the NAMESAKE, not the name. From William Rufus King (who was Vice President when the Washington Territory was created in 1853) to MLK.

King County was 'rechristened' for MLK Jr.

The original King was a cisgendered white guy. 😀😀

A warning about suicide would just make me shake my head in disbelief.A warning about homicide would stiffen my resolve to buy a firearm.

“What does that even mean? Used to be King so they renamed it King?”

What it means is that liberals are fundamentally dishonest; they are despoilers of the truth; and place emotions and immediate gratification over all else - including life other than their own.

All liquor stores must then post about drunk driving & depression.

All grocery stores & restaurants of all kinds must post about obesity, diabetes, heart issues, and other health problems.

Victoria’s Secret would have to post about being so provacative that you could be assaulted.

I could go on & on.

The comedic aspect of this is that they’ll then have to supply the same warnings to most products in hardware stores, cutlery, etc.

Would love for them to cite how many times current firearms laws have stopped crime committed with firearms.

= = = = = = = = = = = = =

I tell the fools that taking my gun to stop shootings is about as good an idea as him chopping off his ‘tallywacker’ will stop rapes and sexual assaults.

‘Normal first response is ‘that is stupid, I never raped or assaulted anyone’

“Well if I take your word for it, you have raped as many people as I have shot”

Then just walk away while they ‘digest’ that. Not worth the energy ‘arguing’ with the idiots.

This initiative is already being challenged in a lawsuit due to the fact that it directly gives lat s the state’s initiative statute which says any initiative can only cover one single subject. It also is against the state’s preemptive n law.
