Damn.. That could shut down a gun range. The Roger Dahl training center is an indoor gun range under the grandstand of the Seattle Parks Department owned West Seattle Stadium. Um... That's where the Coastguard personnel shoot and several other NRA and International pistol matches are held every month.

It's a cryin shame that this moron got this into affect before he left office.

Yeah saw it on KIRO a few minutes ago. The Judge said the 2nd doesn't apply to States. Didn't another Court just rule it did?

I don't believe anything will change anytime soon Our State AG strongly disagrees with it.

I think there's a lot of Positions in Olympia that should be Nonpartisan, but I'm glad we have a Republican AG.

I think it may indeed be constitutional under the US Constitution. Scalia recently said that states or communities could place "reasonable" restrictions on the personal use of firearms.

Fortunately for us our STATE constitution restricts communities from making laws that are more restrictive than the state laws, which are fairly reasonable. Of course, there's always the possibility that the state legislature could screw that up.

It'll be interesting to see the results from supreme court.... this court is just holding the issue to states rights, the Supreme court is now looking to identify the right not as a states right, but as an individual right... which would shut down this latest ruling... (as I understand it)

Heller already held that the 2nd Amendment is an individual right that constrains the federal government.

McDonald, which was argued just this month and will be decided this summer, concerns whether the individual right that constrains the federal government will apply, via incorporation, to constrain the states and sub-jurisdictions.

The next time a liberal refers to a conservative as selfish for not wanting to fund government, remind them that spending the money of others, when they are too young to vote or not even born yet is selfish, greedy and immoral.
