Hey everyone, not to get technical or anything but these "laws" don't mean anything. These are not 'laws' it is all 'code'. We still have the right to keep and bear 'arms'.

These 'laws' in the first place are directed against "persons". Do you know what the definition is of "person"? That will confuse you right from the start. It is meant to. Learn the definition of terms, not words like 'person' and you'll see how the wonderful government at all levels will trick you into believing that 'codes' like these apply to us.

Secondly in a decision from the Washington state Supreme Court the court held in a case called "Self vs. Rhey" that 'code' is not law. If there is no law you have violated nothing and commited no crime. In the "Full faith and credit Act" the law says that any holding of one state must be honored in all states.

In another even greater case by the United States Supreme Court the court held in "Yick WO vs. Hopkins" that we are not subject to the 'law' which is called 'code'. "Code is written to define the limits of government" and the rulings of the USSC carry the weight of law.

Just a little lesson on the law.
