Call Now: Gun Control Bills to be Voted on in House Committee

[CP]

I don’t think they even read the comments, they just tally the number of “for” and “against”.  Sometimes you’ll a canned response, more often, no response.  Usually it’s no response when they disagree with your position.  But they get the message that we are watching and holding them accountable.

If you haven’t noticed, the chair and vice chair of the Judiciary Committee are both sponsors of these bills.  Don’t expect much love to come back on your opposition.  There are more sympathetic members, but they are outnumbered.

I got a response from one of my reps.  He's a D and doesn't support it; and doesn't expect it to pass.  He said it will probably be as an initiative that they expect will pass.  But we all pretty much expected that.

Washington: One Anti-Gun Substitute Dies in Committee, Another is Headed to the House Floor


Today, the House Judiciary Committee considered substitute bills for House Bill 1387 and House Bill 1122.  Thanks to your calls and emails, House Bill 1387​, and its substitute bill that we reported on yesterday, didn’t receive a vote and have officially died in committee having failed to pass before the deadline.  Unfortunately, a Substitute for House Bill 1122 was passed out of committee and will soon be on the House floor where it will await full consideration.  It is more important than ever that you contact your state Representative and urge them to OPPOSE the Substitute for House Bill 1122.



The Substitute for House Bill 1122 would require the locking up of one’s firearms or else they would potentially face reckless endangerment charges.  Further, under this bill the penalty for a reckless endangerment charge involving a gun storage violation would amount to a Class C Felony.  This intrusive government legislation invades people’s homes and forces them to render their firearms useless in a self-defense situation by locking them up.  House Bill 1122 is a solution in search of a problem.

Again, please click the “Take Action” button above to contact your state Representative and urge them to OPPOSE the Substitute for House Bill 1122.

*****

While your NRA-ILA has been on the ground in Olympia continuously working hard with pro-gun legislators to defeat these outrageous anti-gun bills, it is thanks to your continued contact with your state legislators that makes all the difference.  Please contact those state Representatives that voted against House Bill 1122 in the House Judiciary Committee and thank them for voting to defend your Second Amendment rights.  Those who voted against House Bill 1122 are listed below:

Rep. Jay Rodne
jay.rodne@leg.wa.gov

Rep. Paul Graves
paul.graves@leg.wa.gov

Rep. Matt Shea

I don't mind locking my guns up at home but I really don't like having the government tell me to do it considering there is no grounds for them to do so.  I mean the guns in sandy hook were locked up and look what happened?

My biggest frustration if it goes to initiative would be that it would probably be all encompassing.  The morons will probably write it super vague like 594 and it'll probably be technically illegal for me to not lock my gun up while sleeping in the back country on a hunting trip.

Great news about 1387.  Thanks for the update.
