Senate Bill 5006 turns a suicide prevention measure into a prohibition on an individual’s Second Amendment rights.
When an individual in crisis needs help and takes the initiative to admit they need help, this measure will brand them a person prohibited from gun ownership. This also involves law enforcement agencies, and imposes civil penalties -- this is not the way to help them.
Today, the Washington state senate voted 36-12 to pass Senate Bill 5006, an anti-gun bill that hijacks a suicide prevention measure. It will now go to the House for further consideration.
As always, the National Rifle Association is aiding the resistance to this overbearing move. Please contact your state representative and ask them to OPPOSE SB 5006 via this link.
