Now that the other thread got rudely bumped onto this thread while I was posting a reply, my comment is gonna seem way off topic, but tough-o.
IN regards to an aside in the OP the Eastern WA "desert" is actually considered a steppe, although we all call it "the desert." Great place to visit, great place to live. We are gonna retire over to SE WA in the next couple of years. The proliferation of wineries on sage lands over the last fifteen years means you gotta drive further to find places to shoot, at least around our vacation property. And the cheap acreage is 'bout gone.
Our legislature is solidly Democratic and unlikely to change soon. Tons of anti-gun bills get filed every session, but so far, the hard work of people like Workman and Waldron at keeping us informed and getting the various shooting/hunting groups to work together seems to keep most of 'em bottled up. We need more folks willing to fight to regain lost ground like you are proposing to do with the silencer issue to help keep those legis-takers off balance!
