Yesterday there was a "I will not comply" rally in Olympia, Washington, to protest the passage, by voters, of Initiative 594, which expands background checks on the sales of guns between private owners. This riled up the state's gun-rights-supersede-everything-else crowd, and approximately 1,000 people showed up, mostly men, mostly white, and all of them toting weapons. They gathered at the Capitol to demonstrate that they thought this 594 initiative, approved by citizens in a popular vote, was just a gal-durned bridge too far.
I personally stayed far away from this rally, because it makes me nervous being around hundreds of angry gun slingers. But that's just me. I only read about this in our local papers, The Seattle Times, and The Olympian.
