Lawmakers and Gov. Inslee push for more statewide gun measures

[JDHasty]

It's time for counties to declare themselves to be Second Amendment Sanctuary Counties, then tell Insle to GTHOH and mind your own business and we will mind ours.

every time he opens his mouth he looses votes, let him open that gap a lot more.


Inslee has surrounded himself with people who feel the same as he feels, he parrots what he hears - thinking he's doing the work of his people.  This is how Trump was elected, liberals have created for themselves a giant echo chamber where rational people don't belong and aren't welcome.

Democratic Rep. Laurie Jinkins of Tacoma, the sponsor of House Bill 1387, said her bill aims to prevent accidental and mass shootings in Washington state. Under the measure, a person would have to be 21 years old to purchase an assault weapon, would be required to undergo an expanded background check similar to those required for concealed weapons, attend an education course and go through the renewal process every year.

Sanctuary 2nd amendment cities....love it!

At the news conference, Inslee said “these bills simply ask Washingtonians to be responsible for their firearms.”


What an idiotic thing to say, since when does a law "ask" anyone to do anything.
If you wanted to "simply ask" then ask, don't pass a law demanding it. 

I swear there must be a requirement for mental deficiency to be Governor of this state.

Inslee is definetly the worst governor in my lifetime! 

[DOUBLELUNG]

Inslee is so stupid he makes my hair hurt.

I just noticed that if you own an "assault rifle" you have to attend some type of training course and go through some type of "renewal" process every year.  Time and money, eventually law abiding people will give up and turn them in.  What happens if you don't renew, door kicking?

I think we should pass a bill that says that any limitations imposed upon 2A rights are also imposed upon voting rights.  If it is too much to ask to show an ID at the polling booth, you shouldn't have to show one at the gun counter.  Let's close that loophole.

[Stein]

Inslee said there’s a loophole in the state’s law that doesn’t require background checks for assault weapons.

I guess we don't call out all politician's "alternate realities."

Classic stupidity at its best. Who's going to enforce these "rules". Who's going to teach these "classes".  Besides is doesn't affect me as I don't own any "Assault Rifles". My rifles are well behaved.

This will hurt Inslee's credibility. He's so stupid and now, it's obvious to even his supporters. Maybe this will help us defeat these monstrosities.

It would be nice if this were true, but the brain-dead liberals will believe every word he says while they drink their Starbucks Kool-Aid.

Laws requiring firearm owners to secure their firearms when not in use (i.e. keep your guns in a safe) won't have the immediate effect people think it will.  Duh, right?  The law won't directly prevent people from accessing firearms because most people simply won't follow the law in all cases.  Moreover, the state can't enforce this law.  In this regard, the law sounds feel good ridiculous.

However, a law such as this would allow the state to punish people who did not safely stored their firearms when their firearms were used by another person to commit a crime.  In other words, the threat of punishment is what would/could prompt people to change their behavior and lock up their guns.

I'm okay with punishing people who are irresponsible in respect to firearm ownership when their irresponsibility enables someone else to commit horrendous crimes.
