Has SAF ever gotten a cent of your money, or just your scent?
While you're being so industrious, go back and pull up all of your quotes about I-594. That might make some interesting historical reading.

We donated and volunteered because SAF is supposed to be our lawyer, our advocate, our voice.
Nobody from SAF has answered the 18-20 question. Why do so many think it’s a slam dunk? Why should we hire a lawyer when SAF should be able to easily say “this is why”.
An 18–20 year old cant be arrested for 594 because he can’t even be involved in the process that 594 is about. Infringe, impair, whatever.

Unless an exception under RCW 9.41.042, 9.41.050, or 9.41.060 applies, a person at least eighteen years of age, but less than twenty-one years of age, may possess a pistol only:
(1) In the person's place of abode;
(2) At the person's fixed place of business; or
(3) On real property under his or her control.

Notice that this dates back decades. Well before anybody heard of I-594.
Someone else here was suggesting that all we needed to do was have someone in that age bracket take a handgun to an FFL for a transfer and be turned down and we'd have someone with "standing."
No, maybe not; you'd quite possibly have some poor kid sacked for violating 9.41.240 because he possessed a handgun in some other place than his own property, business or abode.
No FFL would okay such a transfer even before I-594 because of the federal laws.
Does that answer your question about "this is why?"
Remember, back when I even suggested that if someone wanted to try a case like this, it "might be interesting" and I suggested talking to a lawyer.
I'm not saying I agree with any of this. SAF had a specific case with specific issues. I read the briefs, the arguments and it seemed pretty solid to me when I wrote about it.
IMHO, the court would have screwed gun owners even if SAF had have walked into court representing Mother Theresa.

Yep, I supported 594, and I also acknowledged the 18-20yo issue VERY early on (before the vote) and wanted it fixed. I lobbied directly to Hanauer/WAGR to fix it, and to the legislature. (with no result).

The case didn't lose because the court never heard the case. The court pulled the "standing" excuse for not hearing it.
Yeah a lot of people donated money and time and effort to beat 594 at the election, and later in court. But apparently not you. All you wanted to do was "fix it." I know Boyd, who weighed in above. Maybe everyone ought to read and re-read what he has to say about this.

Opposition to 594 was a Three Stooges farce once 591 was thrown into the mix to confuse the crap out of the voting public, and split the potential resistance vote against 594.
If all the supposed money, time, and resources had been funneled into merely opposing 594, I truly do believe the outcome would have been different. Many gun owners said as much at the time, myself included.
It all kinda reminds me of the WAC building fund fiasco, and the WAC anti member drive pushing private sellers to get business licenses and collect taxes for the state on private sales.
That was followed by the dirty politics employed to eliminate the Tacoma gun show as competition the year 594 went into effect.
With that kind of track record, it makes you wonder who Gottlieb and Company were actually working for - themselves, their incomes, and the Powers That Be, or gun owners ?
Well, shucks, I guess we will let their track record speak for itself.
As for the current state of the WAC, look no farther than the wonder kids who administratively ran the organization right into the ground.
Those are the facts, ma'am, just the facts. Call them what you will, but the facts remain.

Instead, Workman just wants to tell me We’re wrong, but then not back it up.
It’s like he knows he’s wrong and wants it to go away, or he really doesn’t have a grasp of the issue.
