Please SUPPORT HB 2481; Please OPPOSE HB 1747, 2461, 2372, and 2460



Copy and paste message: You are always encouraged to use your own words, but the NRA-ILA did a good job of summarizing the reasoning for the positions on each bill for Second Amendment supporters.


Dear Honorable Members of the House Judiciary Committee – Representatives: Jinkins, Kilduff, Rodine, Shea, Goodman, Haler, Hansen, Kirby, Klippert, Kurderer, Muri, Orwall, and Stokesbary

Several bills are the subject of this email; I would like respectfully ask you to take the following positions on the bills. 

Please SUPPORT HB 2481

Please OPPOSE HB 1747, 2461, 2372, and 2460


Below are brief explanations as to why.

Please SUPPORT
House Bill 2481 would clarify the current, inadequately-written exemption in Washington law that is intended to allow individuals who are licensed under federal law to manufacture, own, buy, sell, furnish or be in possession of a short-barreled rifles.

Please OPPOSE
House Bill 1747 would impose criminal penalties for “child endangerment due to unsafe storage of a firearm".  This bill is unnecessary; firearms are at the bottom of the list of items causing injury and/or death to children and in those rare cases where adults are truly negligent, the existing reckless endangerment statute is adequate.  The only purpose of this bill is to single out and demonize firearms in the Washington code.

Please OPPOSE
House Bill 2461 would allow family members or law enforcement to petition the court to issue an “extreme risk protection order,” taking away someone’s Second Amendment rights without due process.

Please OPPOSE
House Bill 2372 would permit law enforcement to destroy firearms that have been seized or forfeited.  Existing law allows local municipalities to sell seized and forfeited firearms to raise money for local public safety.  HB 2372 repeals that opportunity.  This bill was introduced by the same legislator who brought the ammunition tax, a bill that places the blame of criminal activity and violence on her law-abiding constituents.

Please OPPOSE
House Bill 2460 would allow local municipalities to ban the possession of firearms in public parks, recreational facilities, libraries and in all public transportation.  Not only would this effectively take away the right of self-defense in these public places, but it would be a huge first step in weakening the preemption statute and opening the door to allow for the local prohibition of firearms.  The preemption statute is put in place to prevent local municipalities from creating a patchwork of complex and confusing gun laws that could ensnare gun owners unaware of the laws.

Thank you.
