I highly recommend to ALL other legitimate posters on these blogs to completely ignore ImLarry, Cardinous and Anothermoniker who is the same person formerly known as ManuelMartini. It is totally pointless to engage in discussion with a person whose ONLY purpose here is to antagonize others.

Jupiter25 – there are plenty of hunting organizations that are very active in conservationism. To make the claim that the NRA is good because many of their members are active in those hunting organizations is bizarre. The NRA is very focused upon one thing and one thing only – to actively prevent any and all barriers to the ease of purchase and ownership of firearms. Go ahead and celebrate the NRA for that – they are very good at it – but don’t try to give them credit for something that other organization do far better.

Not sure how one can make the argument that guns aren’t designed to kill people and then claim that criminals’ fear of being killed by a gun is why it is so important to own a gun.

The NRA and it’s members offer one of the greatest fundings for the conservation of wildlife. Yes, some are hunted, but the numbers of these wildlife species would be vastly reduced if not for the NRA. Although I do not hunt, I am a member of the NRA because I believe in the 2nd Amendment.

A total lack of intelligence…Pat A. Richmond in Tacoma is expressing a view against firearms, revealing the likelihood of a ‘gun free’ home during a period of home invasion.

Besides, that’s what plate frames are for.

It’s not like the decision to produce these plates comes without support from groups which feel their sales will encourage support for their cause. Many states don’t have custom print plates due to the inability for law enforcement to readily identify them. Used to be WA plates were white w/ green mountain range. Now you have to be close enough to decipher them and determine origin. License plates are not there to be a social statement for you, they are basically a tracking tag, now obscured by cute pictures. When involved in a hit and run, how quickly will anyone be able to identify the plate of the car that hit them. It’s not legal to put stickers on your plate or obscure it in any way, so how does the state get away with printing numbers on colorful pictures.
Second, what about Holocaust Survivors, Boy Scouts, Lesbian Airline Pilots, Knitters, Loggers? Don’t they all need their own plates as well? What we need to do is stop ALL theme plates. If you get personalized plates, it should be choice of letters/numbers, not choice of background.
State needs to divert their attention to more pressing issues and stop wasting time and effort on such trivial things.

Four skiers dead this week alone – guess we should withdraw those “Ski and Ride” plates too.

B-G-C – ‘why should I advertise”

So gun thieves and others will know who has guns.

Anyone that buys these vanity plates for any reason fro any group is an idiot. You are only paying the state more money when you should be doing everything you can to starve this state of all reveues.

Don’t enable the status quo by buying these plates. If you want to donate money send them a check. Don’t let the state bee your proxy and take their cut.

Vanity plates are stupid, stupid, stupid.
