My reply:
This is an ineffective & meaningless bill that does not address the causality of the crimes involving firearms use, which is well understood to overwhelmingly involve handguns, & this bill (among others) simply criminalizes legal gun owners who do not, & never will, present a problem/threat to their fellow citizens.
I am truly weary of the government in Olympia setting it sights on me, even while I have never been so much as even a blip on the crime radar. It is very unsettling to know that the criminal element, which receives the lion's share of attention from this legislature, sets the legal standard while, ironically, the responsible element shoulders the lion's share of the consequential legal & fiscal burden for the conduct of the former. Thanks for your time. |

Just want to chime in and say, I’ve been emailing daily and forwarding links to all my friends to do the same. If we let these rights slip away, we’ll likely never get them back - take action now!

The House has officially adjourned EARLY!!!
SHB 2240 did not receive a floor vote today thus it is essentially dead. We have a few bills we will need to fight in the Senate, but overall Washington gun owners have fared pretty well so far. YOU ALL DESERVE CREDIT FOR STAYING ENGAGED AND ACTIVE THIS SESSION!!!! A HUGE "THANK YOU!!!!" |

A HUGE "THANK YOU!!!!" We won this battle, but we need to stand ready for the next. The Governor and his Puppet, our Attorney General, will not relent. I suspect that they love they out of state money way too much to actually respect our wishes. Be thinking about how we stop the inevitable Initiative that will surely surface some day in our future. Stand Ready, Stand Firm! |

This is awesome. Last year when they tried to pull this shit, I was amazed to see how we were able to stop it (aside from 1639) with emails, phone calls etc.
I appreciate everyone for taking part in this, and thank you guys for updating the hometown page with intel when you got it. I’m proud of us Washingtonians. But y’all are right, keep the pressure up and the powder dry. I think I’ll be more proactive in magazine stockpiling this year for sure. They’ll be back...

you are 100 correct, however we have until 15 January 2021 (the start of the next legislative session) to get even MORE organized and EFFECTIVE on our defense of our inalienable right to bear arms.

It took me awhile to spin up to speed wrt writing my reps, and it felt like a small thing, and still does. But we have seemingly dodged a bullet for now. I was involved from afar in the VA thing a few weeks ago, and really learned some things from those cats. We have to work together to develop our ability to have numbers and support those Sens and Reps who value the 2A. I have joined the FPC and have chosen to continue my 40+ years of NRA membership. But I feel like we have barely escaped a truly intolerable situation. In Virginia, the VCDL acted as an umbrella for others, and eventually 50,000 2A supporters showed up in Richmond. This here at home was too close a call, we have to continue to improve. Those of you here who followed the VA thing know the intensity, skill and determination they showed, and I am so proud of our Washington crew but we all know that we have to up our game to survive the next go around. I will fight so that my children do not have to. I'm finding it a little hard to find the right words but I am so relieved and grateful Thank You! |

The folks at VCDL have offered to come out to WA and help us become better organized politically. Or the the 'ol "I dont wanna get on the list" excuse. Mostly its the hermit no social skills lifestyle IMHO that hurts us, and thats where progressives have us beat in spades. They're social, outgoing (therefore organized) and vocal. ETA: who is the "us" they'd be coaching? What organized gun groups do we have right now? Wasn't this latest push all done by individuals communicating via social media (FB, arfcom, other gunboards.....)? |

Not sure if anyone seen the quote from the AG, unbelievable. "Attorney General Bob Ferguson issued the following statement Wednesday: "Republican legislators have effectively filibustered the bill. That’s disappointing, given that statewide polling shows that nearly two-thirds of Washingtonians support limiting high-capacity magazines. If there’s a mass shooting using a high-capacity magazine in one of our schools or communities, these legislators will be accountable to the victims and their families." |

Why doesn't he look at FBI's statistics that says number of murders using ANY rifle in 2018 was 2 in WA? And it is so hard to change that 15-round magazine twice instead of once with standard cap.....yeah right. |
