If they use the outline of a Beretta M92 on their stickers like they do for their gun free zone stickers and we don't own a Beretta, does that mean we are exempt from their stupid bullshit?

Seattle is incorporated. This is for unincorporated areas.

And you, sir, need a dictionary and a lesson or two in English spelling and grammar.

As to the topic, meh. Just a public health thing, and I fail to see anyone reading one of those signs and going, "Ehhhh...nope, not buying today."

The sign will have about as much attention paid to it as the warning on Tobacco products.

I don't think any of my guns will kill me, but i'm damn sure if i don't quit Smoking, that will.

On the surface, I agree with your statement. However, there’s a war underway here:

- Antigunners want to demonize guns in the eyes of the public, to help get gun control laws passed.
- We want to normalize guns in the eyes of the public, to preserve our rights.

These signs are another step towards demonization, and the public seeing guns as an evil thing.

That is exactly what this is all about.

Listen to the KOMO radio public health announcements the the last three days. Running early am and evening, I assume other hours as well. "Make sure you ask other households if they lock guns and ammo.....away separately. ..."

It's both a current and cultural war. Eyes open, easy to spot.

And this garbage is about more than silly socialist signs.

Exactly. It's a culture war. They control the exposure, tell lies and misconceptions all day long, people who are on the fence or outside our culture soak it up subliminally, and laws pass without resistance.

People just assume things are illegal nowadays, and it's because they hear so much anti crap all day long.

This is exactly how it went for smokers. Sure they wanted evil cigarettes targeted, but it affected every connected product. Old man oster with his pipe, cigar smokers, snuff, chew, and all the jobs related to the industry.

With firearms, I feel we need to make it criminal to attempt to infringe upon a person's constitutional rights. Frame it under protecting free speech and the like in the headlines, but keep the verbage open to include any right. (Though this shouldn't even have to be a discussion... because it's already written in clear English on the damn constitution already.)

The left only believes in what they want, not what is correct.
Then they shout it all day, all night, all month long.
The more you hear it you get this attitude, "golly Bubba, that's all I've heard for the last six months so it must be right".

I wonder what the response would be to warning signs at the public library for checking out books on Karl Marx, Pierre Trudeau, Bernie Sanders, etc. Or how about warning sites on newspaper stands for The Stranger or the Seattle Times.

Given the democide numbers from socialist governments over the last hundred years vs death toll from civilian ownership of firearms, I can say with a certainty that Marx, Trudeau, Sanders, etc are a lot more dangerous than guns.

^^^^^^^^THIS^^^^^^^^

Wouldn't posting the "health risks" just sell more guns? I mean, the health risks are the main purpose of them...

"Warning: These may cause injury or death."... Great! I'll take two!

"Death by a thousand cuts"

Thinks guns are a public health issue, gives free needles to drug users..

I'm sorry, preventing the transmission of hepatitis B and C, among other things, isn't a public health issue?

Making sure that firearms do not fall into the hands of children isn't a public health issue? TW, you know damn well that there's no such thing as an "accidental shooting". Someone did or didn't do X, and that led to Y, which led to a dead toddler. So yah, it's a public health issue.

You want to bring your ad hominem attacks on myself and my profession--my Master's in Public Health, even--bring it. Whatever turns your crank in your van down by the river, right?

He has a point about assisting people in violating narcotics laws as well as encouraging heroin use. Don't like drug laws? Repeal them or don't expect citizens to respect laws that they don't like but you do.


Also, you must have missed reading the final part of McDermott's action plan. It involves kicking down your door and taking away your Glock, and thanks to the state pistol registry they likely know you have it and definitely do if you have a CPL. Yes, Joe McDermott wants to break into your house and steal your stuff. Did you read that far? Signs are only step 1.
