Revived gun-control bill approved 97-0 in state House..BILL PASSED

I'd stand with someone against this law just as quick as i'd stand up for those in CT if shtf there!
Probably a bit quicker because sometimes the weakest links in liberty need more defence than those that aren't so strong.
Meaning yes I am against women beaters or stalkers as this law would target, but if not convicted of anything and just have a restraining order you bet it's an infringment!

Why do I have this strange feeling that if I was wrongly accused of a crime and they came for my guns, that I would go down in a firestorm of lead? Not a threat, just a feeling I have.

I don't like this law.

Maybe their should be a clause which allows for if a finding that her claim was frivolous, that a default judgement for the gun owner to the tune of $1000 a day for each gun confiscated, payable by the local jurisdiction?

[Greenhorn]

This is just one of those gotcha feel good laws!  If a person has a restraining order against them they are not suppose to be near the person in the first place.  Why would it be necessary to take a persons guns away then?  This sounds exactly like a gun free zone at a school.

Well I wonder how they find the un-registered firearms?

Well with a name like ICEMAN you would have to be a fool to knock on your door.

Actually I am a pretty nice guy, I just have this inner feeling that if they come for guns it will get ugly.

I think anyone would agree that is reasonable....I guess the next thing for them to attempt is to ban private gun sales then so they could track where each weapon goes?  I don't know how many states now require you to register your firearms?

The bill passed with a unanimous vote yesterday in the Senate. So all legislators in Olympia voted in favor of this bill. The bill now goes to Inslee for his signature.

How long before we see the first use of this new legislation?

Theres a couple different dates in the bill:

-Section 3: All law enforcement agencies must develop policies and procedures by January 1, 2015, regarding the acceptance, storage, and return of weapons required to be surrendered
-Section 4: By December 1, 2014, the administrative office of the courts shall develop a proof of surrender and receipt pattern form to be used to document that a respondent has complied with a requirement to surrender firearms, dangerous weapons, and his or her concealed pistol license
-Section 5: Effective December 1, 2014 A party ordered to surrender firearms, dangerous weapons, and his or her concealed pistol license under RCW 9.41.800 must file with the clerk of the court a proof of surrender and receipt form or a declaration of nonsurrender form within five judicial days of the entry of the order.

However, the actual law regarding the court authority to require surrendering of firearms takes effect 90 days after legislation passed, as does the penalty for failing to surrender.

It's got to get passed by the Senate now.  Good luck with that! 

It got a unanimous YES vote in the Senate......

So I've never experience divorce before, but I've heard a restraining order getting filed occurs a lot during divorce. So does this mean the first person to file one gets to keep their guns, essentially? Seems like it's a "race" to file a restraining order.

Is this where the "credible threat" part comes in?

Better be careful how you email or text your wife/girlfriend, the tiniest aggression could be used to give a judge the benefit of the doubt that you pose a "credible threat"
