Mainstream Media Ignores Massive Open Carry ProtestJoshua Krause While simple on paper, in practice this law makes it illegal for residents of Washington to lend their firearms to anyone, or to so much as hand their weapons over to a friend. For those of you who are gun owners, youll recognize this as something youve done numerous times without a second thought. It basically makes every gun owner a criminal. The event was organized by activist Gavin Seim, who described the gathering by saying This isnt just a protest, we are here to openly violate the law. The event went off without a hitch. Thousands came together on the front lawn of the capital building, armed with a myriad of weapons. They broke the law in full view of the police; some by passing their guns to fellow protesters, while others offered their firearms for sale. Whats even more interesting, though not surprising, is the nearly complete lack of response from the mainstream media. So far only a few local news outlets have picked up the story while the rest of the dinosaur media decided to completely ignore one of the biggest open carry protests in recent history. Theres barely any footage to be found. Not only did these folks come to the state capital armed, but they publicly violated the states unconstitutional law in front of the police, and nobody was arrested. And yet there hasnt been a peep out of Fox or CNN. I guess their corporate handlers learned their lesson after the extensive coverage of Bundy Ranch. They dont want you to know that when enough people come together to break the law, that law becomes unenforceable. In practice, it becomes null and void. They dont want you to know that you can stop these unconstitutional violations, and they certainly dont want you to know that you are not alone. There are millions of people who dont want to put up with this, and if they come together they can stop any gun grab.
