Olympia: New gun restrictions moving ahead

Hearing rooms are normally packed for bills relating to firearms and in this pandemic session, only the venue was different.  Many of the public still showed up virtually to give testimony on SB 5038 and SB 5078

SB 5038 prohibits the open carry of a firearm or other weapons at or near public demonstrations, the state capitol grounds, its buildings, and other legislative locations and provides an exception for state and local law enforcement officers.

SB 5078 prohibits the manufacture, possession, distribution, importation, selling, offering for sale, purchasing, or transfer of large capacity magazines with the capability of holding more than ten rounds of ammunition, unless the possession falls within one of the stated exceptions including prior possession. 

Both bills passed out of Senate Law and Justice this week on party line votes -- the Democrats are seeking to complicate lawful self-defense.

~~~~~~~~

HB 1283 makes it a felony to openly carry a firearm (or any weapon) in a group.  Further, this measure contains no exceptions for individuals who are defending themselves at home or on their own property. There is no exception for law enforcement, military, or those carrying firearms in an official capacity. 

HB 1283 is scheduled for public hearing in the House Committee on Civil Rights & Judiciary at 10:00 AM.  Register your comment on HB 1283 at https://app.leg.wa.gov/pbc/bill/1283

While Olympia is trying to disarm us -- Antifa gangsters occupied a hotel in Olympia, demanding shelter for the houseless.  There is a minute by minute account of this unfolding drama in the Post Millennial article.  (Post Millennial)

Antifa is so irrational, they are a poor speaker for the social needs they claim to represent.  

What makes this worse is the in-power Democrats don't care if we die on our knees or not.

Effing the ineffable - Washington State elections sometimes have been rigged.
