The NRA complaint was filed the same day Gov Jay Inslee signed a bill into law banning the sale of semiautomatic firearms.
"This new law is blatantly unconstitutional. The Supreme Court long-ago ruled that states cannot ban firearms that are in common use," Aoibheann Cline, Washington state director of the NRA-ILA, said of the lawsuit filed Tuesday in Washington state, Fox News Digital has exclusively learned.
Inslee signed three gun control bills on Tuesday, including House Bill 1240, which took effect immediately in banning the sale and manufacture of 50 types of semiautomatic rifles, including AK-47s and AR-15s.
"No one needs an AR-15 to protect your family," Inslee lied on Tuesday. "You only need it to kill other families."
The NRA’s lobbying arm, NRA-ILA, filed the suit Tuesday - which specifically targets the ban on semiautomatic firearms - in the Eastern District of Washington on behalf of individual plaintiffs and the National Shooting Sports Foundation. The suit names Washington Attorney General Bob Ferguson and Washington State Patrol Chief John R. Batiste as defendants.

Gov. Inslee really should have looked at our own state constitution, in Article 1, section 24. "The right of the individual citizen to bear arms in defense of himself, or the state, shall not be impaired, but nothing in this section shall be construed as authorizing individuals or corporations to organize, maintain or employ an armed body of men (emphasis mine)."
The new law will be found defective since it violates both the US Constitution and Washington state's constitution.
How can citizens defend the state without weapons of war? Inslee and his gang should be removed for trifling with our right, and he should be imprisoned for ignoring the constitution. But first we should sue him for slandering us who own semi-autos -- lets make some money off of him for his crime.
