HB 1240 "Assault Weapons Ban" Passes House

[huntnfmly]

To bad this state didn't have a Majority "county's" vote!!  Lop sided at best!!   39 county's, yet 4 make all the decisions the rest have to live with!!

I would venture to guess those same 4 counties also have the highest violent crime rate per capita, largest mental health issues per capita, most homeless per capita and largest demographic of drug users. Funny how all of that goes hand and hand with the liberal left. 

Agree for sure

Problem is that it would still be the majority of the population.  The left is playing the long game and winning little issues at a time(death by 1000 cuts) whereas the right wants a solution to an issue all at once and then they look like extremists.  I feel if they would compromise on some issues and start trying to pull people from the middle left a little at a time there might be a chance to turn things around in WA.

 Give us a example where there would be compromise please!

Also if you're a democrat you should be banned from any and all gun ranges anywhere or own a gun of any sort. Although they probably don't go to any gun ranges anyways or own any guns. F them! and anybody who voted for this bill! 

 Like conservatives, they have every right to own firearms and utilize gun ranges as we do. That being said, if they were not hypocrites, they would be the first to voluntarily turn in their weapons and disarm…but then again, they are all hypocrites!

Following the oath they all took to uphold the constitution would be a great starting point.

I want every democrat possible to own guns. Only then will they begin to realize our Constitution matters and will seek to protect it.

That just gave me a headache reading that😂

[Ghost Hunter]

And if Senate doesn't rescind?

[Lucky1]

And if Senate doesn't rescind?

My guess is that they will. If they don’t, I think the house will cave and pass it with the changes because they are so excited to finally be able to pass this leftist wet dream gun control.

Watch it get passed and inslee signs it on April 20th to virtue signal on the 24th anniversary of columbine.

Fitting that he would be signing legislation to strip firearm rights away from citizens, on Adolph Hitler’s birthday nonetheless.
