Washington State Sheriffs refuse to enforce gun control

[DangerousDave]

More than half of Washington state sheriffs are openly refusing to enforce the states new, heavy-handed gun control measures unless they are ruled on by the courts. My hat goes off to these gentlemen for using some common sense in this situation. You can read the entire story at www.gunsamerica.com/digest/washington-state-sheriffs/

I personally don't see how we are such a liberal state. Maybe just the circle I run in and the places I go, but I mostly see a bunch of hunting, fishing, shooting conservatives.
Seattle and Olympia are pretty liberal though
The policies of this state often baffle me

I...The policies of this state often baffle me

...and this is how the rest of us reach the conclusions we do.

So the metropolitan areas have basically overthrown the rural areas of the state not unlike IL.

What I find ironic that the threats the Sheriffs are receiving involved shooting them?

Which has also been happening to the whole country which is why attempts to nullify the electoral college MUST be defeated.

If these gun control laws are in effective then why even have them at all?

According to a complaint filed Thursday in U.S. District Court in Spokane, Ledford acknowledged making the threats and said he meant them.

It's kinda the same way with Oregon. Greater Portland pretty much controls politics in the state. The rural counties have to abide by the whims of the few urban counties. That's something Bernie Sanders was right about back when he had a saner viewpoint on guns. People in rural areas have a much different worldview than people in heavily urban areas. Heavily populated metros like to pass laws that, if they made any sense at all, only make sense in the cities. But when they have more votes in state legislatures, they like to impose those laws on rural people.

Just like we have an electoral college system to help protect rural states from urban state domination, not withstanding the current system's ineffectiveness in accomplishing that, be nice if representation in state legislatures gave a little extra veto power to counties, so they're not subjected to the bull****.
