When you get to down to the top 10%, they're mostly working hard still - 60 to 70 hour weeks.
60 isn't too bad, depending on what the job entails. I work about 50-60 right now, depending on what i need to get done.

Lot$ of money coming in from Allen, Gates, and Bloomberg for this initiative. I see this far from being a loss of our 2A freedoms, but I still have no intention of supporting it, primarily because I don't like big money/elitists trying to buy elections.

Secondarily, 2 State LE orgs are opposed to it:
Both the Washington Council of Police and Sheriffs (WACOPS) and the Washington State Law Enforcement Firearms Instructors Association (WSLEFIA) have endorsed I-591 and oppose I-594, a fact that has gotten scant media attention.

Personally, a lot of this will come down to the ability to enforce I-594 should it become the law. Likely to trip up non-criminals who run afoul of the new legalities. Feel good measure and added burdens upon lawful gun owners isn't really on top of my list for things we should be doing in the legislature or on the ballot. This is infinitely more critical to me than expanded BGC's: http://www.reuters.com/article/2014/09/ ... 9R20140911
Washington state's Supreme Court on Thursday found the legislature in contempt for failing to uphold a court order to come up with a plan to boost its education budget by billions of dollars over the next five years.

State lawmakers are not meeting a "paramount duty ... to make ample provisions for the education of all children residing within its borders," the court said in a unanimous ruling.
Something actually for the children, and they're like, "Nah" :wall:

As far as I'm concerned, Allen and the others are free to spend their money anyway they like, but my vote isn't for sale. I'd personally try to take that Panzer off some sweet jumps. :cool:

Also, my guess (and it's just that, a guess) would be that the cannon if it is in working order would be papered as a Destructive Device, since it uses modern ammo (not BP), similar to how a 40mm launcher would be handled. Following that model, each round would carry its own tax stamp, in addition to the one for the weapon.

The ammo only carries a tax stamp if it is explosive, i.e. HE, HEAT, Shrapnel
All problems can be solved with a copious amount of high explosives.
