OWS openly broke various laws. How about bong owners? They are breaking the law. In fact, if it weren't for them, gangs wouldn't be able to afford guns.

As for the WA statehouse protest, maybe. Since the owner got the gun back, was it a transfer or not (the protest consisted of handing the gun to someone and them handing it back)
The new law is vague, and probably in an unconstitutional law. For example, as written each Brinks driver and armed security guard (since state law requires the company provide the firearm) should have to go through a background check at the start of each shift, and the company armorer have to go through one at the end of the shift. That is why at least two security companies and gun safety instructors are filing suit.
