Getting it cranked up early this year folks! Proposed legislation in Washington state seeks to ban higher-capacity magazines. READ IT ALL
SOURCE: NRA-ILA
During the executive session last Friday, the Washington state House Committee on Civil Rights & Judiciary voted to pass House Bill 1068 to ban many standard capacity ammunition magazines and House Bill 1225 for firearm seizures without due process. These two bills will now go to the House floor for further consideration. Please contact your state Representatives and urge them to OPPOSE House Bills 1068 & 1225.
House Bill 1068, sponsored by Representative Javier Valdez (D-46), was filed at the request of Attorney General Bob Ferguson and passed by a vote of 9-6. It would ban the possession of ammunition magazines with a capacity greater than 15, encompassing the standard capacity magazines for many handguns and rifles commonly owned by law-abiding citizens for self-defense.
House Bill 1225, sponsored by Representative Laurie Jinkins (D-27), would require law-enforcement to seize firearms and ammunition when they are called to the scene of an alleged domestic violence incident and hold them for at least five business days. This would result in property being confiscated without first going through due process and subject citizens to bureaucratic red tape to get their property returned.
House Bill 1739, sponsored by Rep. Valdez, was also filed at the request of Attorney General Ferguson. It would end the centuries-old practice of manufacturing firearms for personal use and also contains provisions that go above and beyond federal law that already bans undetectable firearms. The committee rescheduled the vote for HB 1739 to next week.
Contact your state Representatives and urge them to OPPOSE House Bills 1068 & 1225.
How did this anti-American ferguson get to be an attorney general in the first place. How these people who have to take an oath to protect the constitution of the United States can turn around and try to gut the Constitution at every possible chance is unbelievable!
THERE OUGHT TO BE A LAW THAT EVERY ONE WHO TAKES AN OATH TO FOLLOW THE CONSTITUTION AND WHOEVER DOESNT DO SO SHOULD BE AUTOMATICALLY REMOVED FROM THAT POSITION AND OR BE PUT IN JAIL FOR BREAKING THE LAW WITH A MANDATORY SENTENCE OF ONE YEAR OR MORE.THEN MAYBE WE COULD HAVE SOME PEACE INSTEAD OF CONSTANTLY FIGHTING THEASE BASTARDS THAT GO AGAINST THE CONSTITUTION
Californication of Washington state!
Makes me want to move somewhere where the Second Amendment is a valued part of society.
What don’t these people get? The bad guys don’t care about the laws – only the law abiding citizen who now, is a target.
Pathetic.
