Legislation Introduced to Attack Gun Shows in Washington
 
Thursday, January 14, 2010
 
Please Stand-Up and Make Your Voices Heard!

State Representatives Brendan Williams (D-22) and Maralyn Chase (D-32) have introduced House Bill 2477, a bill that seeks to abolish the private transfer of firearms, even between family and friends, at gun shows.

Simply put, HB2477 would hold law-abiding gun owners liable for the acts of criminals.  Under this bill, if a firearm is privately transferred at a gun show to a person who is ineligible, the seller can be held liable for injury or death caused by the criminal use of that firearm.

Please contact both of your State Representatives and your State Senator TODAY at 800-562-6000 and politely urge them to oppose HB2477.  More contact information for your legislators can be found here.

what if it is privately transferred outside of a gun show? i just dont see how this would be enforcable if it specifically states privately transferred at a gun show, but if all private sales are targeted then this is scary stuff

Boy there busy this year.  Sending out another round of letters, still have not heard back from them on the last 5 I have sent.

How about they make it so if a criminal is released on a reduced bond (clemens) with a  felony record and commits a violent act that the judge is held responsible.

How about if everytime someone is killed or injured in a government mandated "gun free zone" by a firearm that the legislators who mandated the "Gun Free Zone" are held liable.

I think that is going into this round of letters.

Thanks.  Just wrote mine.

How are they going to know when a sale took place- I sold 15 guns in the last year and most of them were purchased in my name. I know that some of them were bought just to sell so who knows who has them.
