There are more gun control bills in the Washington state legislature -- these bills must fail, because the state legislature is obliged not to endanger the life or safety of the people. Despite the sophistry of language, both of these bills would make us less safe.
Senate Bill 5232 requires an individual to ask government permission to exercise a constitutionally protected right. This bill impedes an individual's right to acquire firearms unless they complete official, sanctioned training every five years to obtain and maintain a permit. It also imposes an arbitrary ten-day delay on prospective gun owners taking possession of their firearms and makes this delay longer, or indefinite, if the state fails to complete background checks during that time.
On February 2nd, the Senate Law and Justice Committee will hear Senate Bill 5232 which imposes a firearm permit requirement, creates a 10-day waiting period scheme, and allows indefinite delays on firearm transfers. Please contact committee members and ask them to oppose SB 5232.
The National Rifle Association is helping us. You can go to the
NRA's Institute for Legislative Action page at
https://act.nraila.org/campaign/44513/ to ask the Committee to oppose SB
5232 Firearm Permit & Waiting Period.
If you want to remark on this bill directly to the Senate committee, you have four options (links are embedded in the text).
- You could testify in person during the hearing
- You could testify remotely
- You could make your position noted for the legislative record
- You could submit written testimony
Or you can double your impact and comment through NRA link and also comment directly to the committee.
The companion in the House is House Bill 1143. The House bill is not scheduled HB 1143 for hearing yet.
The Left are trying to shove this gun control bill quietly through the legislature. Let us stop them.
Both the Senate and House bills are at the request of governor Inslee.
