Communist Washington State House Democrats voted to require would-be gun owners to obtain a permit BEFORE PURCHASE. It requires residents to get the approval of Democrats who control the state before even being allowed to own a gun.
It also imposes a new round of gun regulations.
Prospective gun owners must complete a firearm safety training course for a permit with enhanced background checks conducted through Washington State Patrol’s Firearms background check program, which will consult with state and federal databases to determine the applicant’s eligibility.
Firearm dealers must maintain detailed records of all firearm transfers and report permit and licensing information to state authorities.
Law enforcement agencies would be able to delay firearm transfers by claiming they are looking for even more information.
The bill passed 58 to 38.
Republican Representative Walsh explained that it violates due process rights, privacy rights, and the right to defend oneself with a firearm.
Democrat Rep. Strom Peterson said that veterans are five times more likely to commit suicide and this will give them pause.
The bill has cleared the House and is headed for the Senate. It will face challenges since it violates the Second Amendment.
Communist Democrats will never stop trying to take your guns, and they don’t care what the law says.
Washington State should change their name to King George State
No different than the poll taxes democrats levied on blacks and laws like this disproportionately affects minorities more. They’ll say it’s for “safety” and a whole slew of other reasons, but at the end of the day, it’s to make sure blacks and other minorities can’t obtain firearms.
All communist DemonRats must be terminated
Call this for what it is; the Democrats are bringing back the Jim Crow laws.
That’s a piss poor headline by the way it is not law yet they passed a bill.
When they take our guns they then control your life without reservation.
Hopefully this same law applies to every Washington State official including cops.
I will never comply. I will just go out-of-state to buy my guns, not that I really need any more, but they can straight up go fuck themselves. I doubt this will even make it through the senate. And governor Bob Ferguson probably wouldn’t sign it because he wants to run for president someday.
What do these people have for a brain? OH i forgot t hey don’t have one! Read 2A aces. Shall NOT be infringed upon says it all!
that can be a double-edged sword. All folks need to do is take a CCWP class, then, everyone who gets one, can buy a gun. Now you have a ton of folks conceal carrying.
“It will face challenges since it violates the Second Amendment.“
So? When did violating the 2A ever stop a Democrat? Maryland already requires a permit to buy a handgun, a process very similar to what is described above for WA. No one has successfully overturned Maryland’s law based on 2A rights, and the handgun permit requirement has been in place for a long time.
All gun laws need to be set federally while we have a responsible government. People attempting to take away guaranteed rights like gun rights need to be arrested for treason.
The criminals aren’t going to like that.
And watch eastern Washington start a movement to join greater Idaho.
Dictators have an uncontrollable urge to dictate, just like atheist have the need to preach.
States should have their own version of the Electoral College to prevent large, liberal counties to have control the state.
Glad I don’t live there
This is going to be one short lived law. I predict an early suit by the NRA, GOA, and probably main justice. SCOTUS will knock this idiocy down quickly.
Um, it won’t make it past the ninth Circuit…
The Ninth circuit, the most overturned in the country. You do know appeals can go to the Supreme Court?
The leftard demoCRAPS are all about CONTROL and POWER for themselves!!!!!!!
First order of business is to remove armed protection of all elected officials in the State.
The first order is to disbar all lawyers that even remotely thought that this is Constitutional…
The first order of business our forefathers would have conducted would have been to hang all of these traitors.
