More poisonous gun control from Olympia

On Monday, the Senate Law and Justice Committee held a public hearing to consider an extreme "assault weapons" ban, Senate Bill 5217, and anti-preemption legislation, Senate Bill 5568 .  An executive session is scheduled for Thursday where these bills are expected to receive a vote.   

There is still time to contact Law & Justice committee members (link, L&J are about halfway down the page) and strongly urge them to OPPOSE Senate Bill 5217 and Senate Bill 5568 .

Senate Bill 5217 arbitrarily classifies many popularly-owned semi-automatic firearms as so-called “assault weapons” and bans their possession, manufacture, transfer, etc.  These firearms are widely used for self-defense, recreational shooting, and hunting, and have now been vilified due to cosmetic features.  It is extremely important that NRA Members and Second Amendment supporters contact their lawmakers in opposition to SB 5217.

Senate Bill 5568 deals with the state’s preemption laws.  SB 5568 will expand gun free zones and permit municipalities to ban the open carry of firearms.  These types of measures result in a complex patchwork of gun laws across the state that ensnare otherwise law-abiding gun owners, turning them into criminals.

These gun bills are a conspiracy to victimize the innocent.  We value individual rights and safety.  We support law because it is to protect the innocent individual.  So we must oppose Senate Bill 5217 and Senate Bill 5568

So you can email all the committee easily, here is list of the email addresses of the Law & Justice committee members:

manka.dhingra@leg.wa.gov; yasmin.trudeau@leg.wa.gov; mike.padden@leg.wa.gov; jim.mccune@leg.wa.gov; jim.honeyford@leg.wa.gov; patty.kuderer@leg.wa.gov; jamie.pedersen@leg.wa.gov; jesse.salomon@leg.wa.gov; keith.wagoner@leg.wa.gov

Be gentle. Be persuasive. We must stop this poisonous evil.
