Arrest the Attorney General in Washington State?

Post by bignflnut »

YELM, Thurston County — The talk at the Yelm Prairie Christian Center was of frustration and anger — and of what to do about Washington Attorney General Bob Ferguson.

So intense is the distress over new firearms regulations in the state and Ferguson’s support of them that a group of 35 or so came together to discuss what many saw as a constructive next step: Go to court to file citizen complaints against Ferguson or maybe even attempt a citizen’s arrest of him.

Many wore insignia of the Washington Three Percenters — a group whose website says its goal is to “utilize the fail safes put in place by our founders to reign (SIC) in an overreaching government and push back against tyranny.”

The meeting reflected the simmering discontent among gun-rights advocates for a slew of new restrictions approved in recent years by Washington’s voters and lawmakers. Lawmakers, judges and elected officials, they say, are violating their Second Amendment rights.

The complaints allege that by infringing on people’s right to bear arms, Ferguson has committed misdemeanors such as official misconduct, and failure of duty by a public officer.

“I want to see him go to prison for treason,” said Bannister, a retiree and veteran who is assembling the citizen complaints. “But I wanted the backing of the sheriff, because I don’t want to get shot by the state police.”

Ferguson spokeswoman Brionna Aho declined to comment on the citizen complaints or the prospect of a citizen’s arrest.

In a statement, Ferguson said he respects residents’ right to “express their disagreement with a decision by nearly 60% of Washingtonians to adopt common sense gun reform.”

60% in the i-639 ballot initiative financed by Bloomberg. Paid signature gatherers, misleading media blitz,
24 counties voted against it.
15 counties voted for it. (containing cities such as Seattle, Tacoma, Olympia, etc..)
Another state mostly steered by a handful of populous cities..

As of February 2019, the sheriffs of 12 of Washington's 39 counties — specifically Adams, Benton, Ferry, Grant, Grays Harbor, Kittitas, Klickitat, Mason, Okanogan, Pacific, Stevens, and Yakima counties, representing 1.4 million people, or 19% of the state's 7.5 million population — said they will not enforce the law, though some have indicated they will only refuse to do so until the final adjudication of pending lawsuits against the legislation
In an editorial, The News Tribune denounced sheriffs who refused to apply the law as "agitators" and accused them of rebellion, writing that the sheriffs who said they would refuse to enforce the law were usurping the legislative and judicial role
