[QUOTE="Old teacher, post: 1008510, member: 48420"] No surprise. I had a conversation with the Attorney General last week, and he indicated that the legislature would do some work on it in two years when the sunset clause expires. I didn't have any plans to do anything before then anyway, so I will just wait and see what happens. I need to read it all again and pay a little more attention to make sure I don't do something really stupid. Most of it is unenforceable and won't really matter much, plus over 2/3 of the county sheriffs have said they will not enforce it. But some things just can't be ignored, like the section requiring your heirs to register any handguns with the state if you expire. I also need to check to see if it affects our concealed carry laws. The low voter turnout is what killed us. Eastern Washington virtually didn't vote, which really surprised me. I thought they would turn out in droves to defeat this. I think their attitude is to just ignore it since they are so spread out and cannot be monitored. What really ****es me off is how quiet the gun dealers were on this. They should have been united and vocal, but they stayed completely out of it because for them it is a huge cash cow that just fell in to their laps. [/QUOTE]
