SECTION 24 RIGHT TO BEAR ARMS. The right of the individual citizen to bear arms in defense of himself, or the state, shall not be impaired, but nothing in this section shall be construed as authorizing individuals or corporations to organize, maintain or employ an armed body of men.

Suck it bitches.

All you pro-gun nut jobs moving here because you hope to get the new high minimum wage - keep living in your cars please, you will need them to get the F*uck outta our state, we so did not invite you asshats!

@116: You are allowed to defend YOURSELF and THE STATE, according to that provision. That is NOT carte blanche to have any gun you want and take it wherever you want.
Suck on it, bitch.

My heartfelt condolences to those effected in the Seattle Pacific University tragedy, and kudos to jon Mein, the heroic student worker who stopped a crazed gun nut---who isn't even affiliated with SPU!!--from violently claiming even more unsuspecting victims.
This insanity has GOT to stop, and it CAN, by doing exactly what Paul Constant has suggested that we, as citizens, taxpayers, and voter, can do.
We can also overturn Citizens United, and end corruption by getting filthy corporate money out of government. Without its blood money, the NRA loses its power.

@123: That should read: "...that we, as citizens, taxpayers, and voters, can do..."

Gun violence isn't the issue. Mental illness is. If our politicians would take m.i. seriously and spend $400,000,000.00 on m.i. instead of adding bike lanes and road diets we'd be better off. So ask yourself. Do you want more bike lanes and more shootings or less of both?

ok, serious question here: what the fuck is "larping"?

From CS's Gallop link: "But this year, the gap between those wanting stricter gun laws and those wanting less strict laws narrowed as a result of a sharp increase in the percentage of Americans who want less strict laws, now at 16% up from 5% a year ago. Support for making gun laws stricter fell to 31% from 38% last January."

So of those dissatisfied with current gun laws, 16% want less restrictions and 31% want more restrictions. Do you really think this helps your arguement or even says what you think it says?

@128....
ok, thanks.
second serious question: HOW THE FUCK DID LARPING MAKE IT INTO THIS CONVERSATION?!?!?

Did that take you five minutes or six minutes to do your research for this article? Great comprehensive journalism.....you get paid for this shit?

Enacting extremely tough gun restrictions vis-a-vis Washington D.C.-style laws, is the only way to stop the violence.

@135

You're horribly wrong. Wash DC and Chicago both have draconian gun laws and both lead the nation in violent crime.

    Please wait...
