Ok

Uh ok 😂

“If you don’t believe in abortion then don’t have one”

In Boy Scouts back in the 60's we used to camp at Fort Casey and Fort Worden. Always a favorite.

There is this ass hole in a lifted black dodge who follows his fellow fuck face in a white dodge Challenger up our private drive at 3am and jiggles the handles on our homes. My mail box gets broken into regularly. My car has been forcefully ran off the road twice with my young children with me. Meanwhile the sheriff is never able to make the time to deal with it. I have a family of coyotes who live around us. Wolf's. Other wildlife that can be dangerous.

The world is not black and white. You do not support mass shootings just because you purchase the tools needed to survive in your situation. These folks are following a trend. None of this will help reduce shootings.

Mental health resources, education, and extended responsibility for gun violence might help. In fact, it is impossible to get mental health support in Pierce county. Maybe pump some effort into that. Might also be more effective than the failed war on drugs.

And while we're on social justice topics - homeless guy was around the other day. 7 miles from any town. He noticed a lot of litter and started to clean. Asked if I could donate some garbage bags for him to use to pick up. He cleaned the whole road. You know who dumps out here? The same trash humans who are always hung up about homeless people. The same people who blame homeless for all of the trash on the road. The same people addicted to meth in their trailer. The same people in their lifted black trucks trying to steal childrens Christmas presents.

All of this shit on the news and social media is just a giant fucking farce. I'm tired of being manipulated.

It’s cool for those who have suicidal thoughts.

My housemate brought his guns to his best friend’s house this year and told her to keep them because he was in a low place.

In many cases, suicide is a snap decision. Of all my attempts, the longest planning period was three days. Seven days is quite a while to seek help/back down. The article also discusses that they think it needs more work and want to expand upon it. But that it's a start for those who are worried about gun access.

This is completely useless. Now people who would never buy a gun can virtue signal and tell their friends that the banned themselves from buying a gun? Okay…it was always okay to not buy a gun. And there’s a 7 day wait to revoke it? There’s already a 10 day wait on “assault weapons” in Washington. And up to 10 day wait for pistol purchases. This is feel good BS that doesn’t actually do anything useful.

Fourth paragraph or so of the article "If they change their mind, they have to wait seven days for the county to revoke it."

Yes, mentally ill people can actually have this foresight. If I still lived in Washington, I'd absolutely do this. I have short periods of mania and depression where I've been tempted to commit suicide. This extends that waiting period by a substantial amount for the person to change their mind and seek help.

You could still change your mind if shit gets rough.

How is that any different from just not owning one voluntarily?

I also miss Cherry Coke.

Nothing specifically. But in a general sense I missed that part of the state thank you for asking

What does that have to do with Whidbey?

Their rationale is described in the linked article. If you can find a copy (and can stomach it), I suggest reading The Turner Diaries to learn more about the sick race war fantasy that drives these people.

I lived in Whidbey for a year. Very strong sense of community there. Also hard to escape the incestuous gossip in a community that close. Like with everything it has it’s pros and cons.

Sounds amazing. I've never been to hat island. I've seen it many times from Everett and the Mukilteo Clinton ferry. I'd love to live on Whidbey.

Oh.. I didn't know there was a fire.

the San Juan Islands

Maybe referring to Camano and Gedney/Hat as in Island County.

Yes
