Stop the California-style gun ban

H.B. 1240 is a California-style gun ban on common semi-auto pistols, rifles, and shotguns.  The bill will be taken up in the Washington Senate Law & Justice Committee next Thursday.

The legislature's own brief summary of HB 1240 is that it will:

1. Prohibit the manufacture, importation, distribution, sale, or offer for sale of any assault weapon, subject to various exceptions for licensed firearm manufacturers and dealers, and for individuals who inherit an 'assault weapon.'
2. Provide a violation of these restrictions constitutes a gross misdemeanor and is actionable under the Consumer Protection Act.HR 1240 (jail time for a violation).
   

Governor Inslee insists the legislature advance this bill to his desk.  "It is something that I’ve believed in since 1994 when I voted to make this federal law," - Governor Jay Inslee.

It’s going to take a massive public outcry from us at the pro-freedom grassroots to defeat this gun ban. (Later, it will take a massive turn out at the polls to remove Jay Inslee from the governorship.)

We need to flood the Senate Law & Justice Committee committee members with pro-gun messages to drown out the rhetoric from Gun Control, Inc.
