I was very offended by a recent email sent by our honorable governor, Jay Inslee, stating “But make no mistake, the NRA and their friends in the gun lobby are a powerful and destructive force.”

I challenge him to prove this statement. The NRA is the only organization that is being blamed for actions taken by persons who are not members. The NRA has a proud and glorious history of teaching gun safety and responsible gun ownership. Just because we stand for the Constitution and our rights to own guns does not give anyone the right to slander us.

I would like to see an apology to all NRA members and friends. I certainly will not vote for an irresponsible individual like this for any elected office.
