Olympia's Gun Control Legislation Nearly Enacted

Late Sunday night, the Washington House of Representatives quietly attempted to go to work passing unconstitutional anti-gun legislation off the House Floor.  ESSB 5038 prohibits open carry in many public circumstances.

Despite overwhelming outcry from the public, hours of debate and offers of amendments that would have prevented law-abiding Washingtonians from becoming criminals, the House voted along party lines 57-40 to pass ESSB 5038.

ESSB 5038 will now head back to the Senate for concurrence. 

Your voice is needed to urge Senate Democrat Majority Leader, Andy Billig, to hold the bill and prevent a concurrence vote on this unconstitutional piece of legislation. Billig's email is andy.billig@leg.wa.gov.

Here is a suggested text for an email:  

"ESSB 5038 should not become law.  All it will do is make felons out of harmless citizens by victimizing them.  For that reason alone it is wrong morally and socially and should not become law. "

Effing the ineffable - Washington State elections sometimes have been rigged.
