Anti 2A Bills/ 2025 Legislation

[fishngamereaper]

Depends how much traction they get
A couple are so extreme I don't see them going anywhere
A couple echo other States legislation that is getting dismantled in the appropriate court's right now
A couple are watered down versions of previous bills that failed so those are possibilities
Best to click to comment and email your reps for now..
And keep an eye on the bill status. In true fashion some of these will get air time after hours with the hope that us Serfs don't realize what's happening.

I recommend any responsible gun owner make their voices heard now
I believe we should call this issue what it is unconstitutional and I would let the president know what our state is trying to do.
I sent my thoughts

It cannot hurt to write a tasteful email to President Donald Trump.

I get so fired up watching these and hearing about Bills our state is trying to pass.  The latest I don't think was mentioned here is a bill requiring a gun owner to have a $25,000 insurance policy for EACH firearm...... This absolutely can not pass.  It is unconstitutional but how long until it gets overturned..... 

[MADMAX]

Good point on the 25K insurance one
needs to be all here

Top gun control bills to watch in Washington's Legislature this year
Washington state already has some of the nation's strictest gun control laws. But some legislators want to make them even tougher, including by possibly requiring permits to buy firearms.
The big picture: Washington's firearm death rate has increased in recent years, rising from 9.8 deaths per 100,000 residents in 2015 to 12.4 per 100,000 in 2022, per CDC data.
More than 1,000 people were fatally shot in Washington in 2022, the latest year of CDC data available.
Zoom in: One proposal before the state Legislature would make people obtain a permit showing they've passed a background check and taken a certified firearm safety course before they can buy a gun.
Other bills proposed by Democrats would beef up licensing requirements for gun dealers, increase safe storage requirements for firearms, enact a new tax on gun and ammunition sales, and limit the amount of guns and ammo a single person can buy in a 30-day period.
A sixth measure would ban firearms in more government buildings and limit guns in public parks, adding to the state's growing list of gun-free zones.
What they're saying: At a press conference last week, state Senate Majority Leader Jamie Pedersen (D-Seattle) said two shootings last year outside Seattle's Garfield High School highlight the need for lawmakers to do more to combat gun violence.
"My family and every other family in Washington should have the right to send our kids to school and feel like they're going to be safe," said Pedersen, who said he has four sons attending Garfield.
The other side: Senate Minority Leader John Braun (R-Centralia) told reporters last week that the gun bills filed by Democrats are "going down the wrong path."
"They're trying to restrict rights on law-abiding citizens," Braun said.
Opponents of the gun licensing bill told lawmakers at a public hearing last week that it would infringe on citizens' constitutional right to bear arms.
Between the lines: Researchers with the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health found in 2015 and 2020 that permit-to-purchase laws helped reduce firearm homicides in Connecticut, which enacted its licensing system in 1995.
State of play: Similar permit-to-purchase bills have stalled before in Washington's Legislature.
House Majority Leader Joe Fitzgibbon (D-Seattle) said Democratic lawmakers over the past two years were more focused on passing other gun measures, including a ban on selling so-called assault weapons.
With that policy and others now law, the licensing proposal has become "the highest priority gun bill on the agenda this year," Fitzgibbon said.
The state Senate has a slightly larger Democratic majority and more progressive members than it did a year ago, which may also improve the bill's prospects, Pedersen told Axios.
What's next: The House Civil Rights and Judiciary Committee is expected to vote on several gun control measures, including the permit-to-purchase bill, sometime this week.
To reach the desk of Gov. Bob Ferguson, the bills would also need to pass the full House and Senate.

The hypocrisy of the democrats is so mind blowing. As they are submitting these bills to infringe upon our second amendment right down to our ability to keep existing firearms in our homes.

If they get the insurance/bond requirement passed only rich people would be able to have firearms…

As they sue Trump to stop his executive order clarifying the 14th amendment on behalf of the children of illegal immigrants (that have not been born and it is impossible for anyone to be harmed by an order that doesn’t take affect for 30 days) they propose these measures of legislation that target law abiding, tax paying citizens that have proven they are responsible gun owners by the years of ownership without issues…

Hopefully the Trump justice department takes action against states that are depriving their citizens of our constitutional rights.

The NRA also welcomes you to join us in Olympia to oppose HB 1504 in the House Civil Rights and Judiciary Committee on Wednesday, February 5th, at 8am.

HB 1504 requires individuals to prove they are "financially responsible" by obtaining and maintaining liability insurance or a bond before purchasing or possessing a firearm. The legislation lays out the coverage amounts, requiring at least $25,000 in coverage per incident of “accidental discharge causing death, injury or property damage,” and gun ranges to carry $1 million of general liability insurance. Individuals can "self-insure" but must carry $25,000 in coverage for each firearm. Excluding ordinary citizens and limiting this basic constitutional right to only the wealthiest Washingtonians. Failure to comply with this mandate amounts to a Class 1 civil infraction and monetary fines.

The glaring gap of this legislation is the fact that criminals will not comply with the mandate, nor could their illegal acts ever be covered under any insurance policy.
