Also, I'll condense the different sections in an attempt to make it a bit more understandable. As always, please let us know if you have any questions.
Here goes...

I will be issuing formal warnings followed by deleting and bans for ads without the disclaimer for WA banned items.

You all know by now.

I don't have the time to add it for you fellas

Alright. This continues to come up despite all of our efforts to draw it out in crayon for all here so, I will no longer issue warnings and delete ads.
From this point forward, If illegal items are listed without a proper state disclaimer, I will delete the ad and permanently ban the OP. No more second, third and fourth chances.
I haven't the time to continue to read and interpret the laws for you...We are all grown ups here.
I don't like it either and am putting money toward every pro 2-A organization known to man.
I have received more than 1 friendly warning from law enforcement about this and am not going to risk shutting the site down due to member's negligence.

Help me Help you.

It's pretty simple.
