This is a bad year for gun owners, and anyone that believes in, and supports our Constitution and Bill of Rights.
"Washington: Urge House Committee to Oppose Gun Control Bills"The NRA-ILA has sent out another alert asking for all of us freedom loving Washingtonians to TAKE ACTION to protect our rights and freedoms by using their TAKE ACTION link:
https://act.nraila.org/actions/campaigns/7626Please
TAKE ACTION by contacting committee members and urging them to
OPPOSE House Bills 2240, 2241, 2519, 1374, and 1315.
HB 2240 (
https://app.leg.wa.gov/billsummary?BillNumber=2240&Year=2019&Initiative=false ) would ban the standard capacity magazines for many handguns and rifles commonly owned by law-abiding citizens for self-defense.
Sponsors: Valdez, Peterson, Senn, Doglio, Macri, Robinson, Walen, Thai, Kilduff, Stonier, Frame, Bergquist, Cody, Pellicciotti, Chapman, Fitzgibbon, Orwall, Ortiz-Self, Ramel, Ryu, Tarleton, Appleton, Slatter, Davis, Tharinger, Ormsby, Wylie, Kloba, Gregerson, Pollet
By Request: Attorney General, Governor Inslee
HB 2241 (
https://app.leg.wa.gov/billsummary?BillNumber=2241&Initiative=false&Year=2019 ) would also ban many commonly-owned firearms popular for self-defense and recreation as well as most standard-capacity magazines.
Sponsors: Peterson, Valdez, Doglio, Macri, Robinson, Chapman, Walen, Kilduff, Ortiz-Self, Ramel, Ryu, Tarleton, Appleton, Slatter, Bergquist, Davis, Tharinger, Orwall, Ormsby, Wylie, Cody, Gregerson, Pollet
By Request: Governor Inslee, Attorney General
HB 2519 (
https://app.leg.wa.gov/billsummary?BillNumber=2519&Initiative=false&Year=2019 ) would implement an ammunition background check scheme that California has already demonstrated to be a failure.
Sponsors: Walen, Valdez, Orwall, Kilduff, Thai, Chapman, Peterson, Davis, Doglio, Ramel, Tharinger, Pollet, Cody, Ormsby, Robinson
By Request: Attorney General
HB 1374 (
https://app.leg.wa.gov/billsummary?BillNumber=1374&Initiative=false&Year=2019 ) would lead to a confusing patchwork of local laws, making it extremely difficult for even the most well-meaning, and otherwise law-abiding gun owners to avoid inadvertently becoming criminals.
Sponsors: Macri, Doglio, Jinkins, Ormsby, Cody, Fey, Robinson, Slatter, Davis, Frame, Stanford, Dolan, Fitzgibbon, Appleton, Riccelli, Valdez, Santos
HB 1315 (
https://app.leg.wa.gov/billsummary?BillNumber=1315&Initiative=false&Year=2019 ) would impose more onerous government red tape and further training to obtain a Concealed Pistol License. Training requirements are yet another cost prohibitive measure intended to ensure that lower income Americans are barred from defending themselves.
Sponsors: Lovick, Jinkins, Ryu, Senn, Goodman, Kilduff, Bergquist, Kloba, Stanford, Davis, Walen, Pollet
Companion Bill: SB 5174 (
https://app.leg.wa.gov/billsummary?BillNumber=5174&Chamber=Senate&Year=2019 )
Sponsors: Palumbo, Pedersen

It should be no surprise that all of the sponsors for these hideous bills have a (D) after their name. They are also being pushed by our Attorney General and Governor. Please don't vote for a Democrat unless they have a proven track record of protecting our Second Amendment rights, and fully support and protect our rights to hunt and fish; the rest of them will take away our rights and freedoms and turn Washington into a Socialist state.
Please pass this on to others and encourage them to take action.
