The Washington state Declaration of Rights states that "The right of the individual citizen to bear arms in defense of himself, or the state, shall not be impaired."

Its pretty clear that HB 1143 and Hb 1240 violate this right by the bans and compulsory delays.

SB 5078 only requires that the innocent be held acountable for others' crimes, in violation of the principles of justice.

Let's work to reverse this sessions' injustices.
