Piecemeal Prohibitionists

Me-can I buy individual parts? State-yeah, for repairs. Do I have to prove I have the gun first? No…. So I can just buy all of the parts in a build kit individually in the same cart and purchase just not as a single item….. [More]

Careful:

While HB 1240 obviously targets complete firearms, its language is written broadly enough to ensnare PARTS [Emphasis Added] and kits that could be used to assemble a banned weapon. This is a huge minefield for online sellers.

I’m not a lawyer and I don’t play one on TV, but if I were going to try a workaround, I’d find a way that didn’t leave a trail of invoice breadcrumbs.

And naturally, what would any militia disarmament edict be without a standing army exemption?

The law does have carve-outs for sales to law enforcement agencies and active-duty military personnel who are purchasing for official use. 

Just like the Framers intended, no?

We’re the Only Ones Ratified Enough

Now, the left is coming for your county sheriff—the last local law man or woman elected to office by the people. [More]

Funny, how the very ones who scream “DEMOCRACY!” the loudest demand the final say.

Budding Richard Macks need not apply.

The Devil to Pay

In Washington, Democrats in Olympia are looking at adding $100 to the nonrefundable fee for a concealed pistol license, jacking the cost up from $36 to $136… In neighboring Oregon, there’s a move on via House Bill 4145 which would raise the cost of a permit-to-purchase from the $65 maximum to $150. [More]

What are these carry fees everyone is so upset about?

Don’t tell Judge Jeanine!

What Can Brown Do to You?

Washington State AG Warns Citizen Journalists to Stop Investigating Somali Daycares or Face Potential Hate Crime Charges [More]

Only “Authorized Journalists” are allowed to do that!

Which side are the fascists, again…?

How About ‘No, Your Move’?

Do You Have to Serialized Your Unserialized Firearm in Washington State? [Watch]

He says “Yes.” I say it’s a choice, albeit one with risks that can be mitigated with prudent behaviors.

I get tired of this guy’s defeatist titles. I know as an officer of the court he can’t be out there preaching another great American tradition, but he doesn’t have to go full-on “Resistance is futile – You will be assimilated” Borg.

We all get they say we have to and will punish us if they catch us and have the upper hand.

Ultimately, there’s always another answer to “”Throw down your arms, ye villains, ye Rebels, Disperse!” and that prospect terrifies those making the demand, who understand their would-be victims aren’t the only ones with personal risks. That explains why government predators pick isolated easy targets and haven’t done confiscations on a mass scale, and that means, battered and vilified as it may be, the Second Amendment is still working.

Hold Onto Your Hat

A Washington State University (WSU) student says he was assaulted outside a popular campus bar in February by an instructor and another university employee for wearing a hat supporting President Donald Trump. [More]

Misdemeanor assualt charges are hardly adequate. Since fists can and do kill, their victim would have been justified “buying them each a round.”

Let’s hope this follows cowardly lying communists Patrick Mahoney and Gerald Hoff around for a good long time, and that they both run into men who want to see what they’re capable of one-on-one.

It Depends Upon What the Meaning of the Word ‘Infringed’ Is

HB 1163 – 2025-26 Enhancing requirements relating to the purchase, transfer, and possession of firearms… Third reading, passed; yeas, 29; nays, 19; absent, 0; excused, 1. [More]

It’ll be signed. Then it’s on gun owners paying to have their rights infringed to come up with more money to fight it in courts for years.

Unless...

Back the Blue (Helmets)

A Washington state sheriff has taken a firm stand against a proposed bill that would permit noncitizens to become law enforcement officers, granting them the ability to take away the constitutional rights of US citizens. [More]

Not the first…

And like they say in the ShamWow commercials: But wait! There’s more!

And the reason Washington leftists now want to have everyone forget what they said before and fund the police?

How else are you going to have a police state?

The Fudd’s Lament

‘It’s getting unaffordable to have fun in this state;’ Washington senate passes bill to raise hunting, fishing licenses [More]

I guess I need to lighten up– it’s just that if that’s the biggest complaint a Washington gun owner has about changes to their laws, I’m wondering what their level of involvement with the real purpose behind the Second Amendment is, and what that means for the rest of us.

It takes me back to another “hobbyist” with “toys” who threw Second Amendment activists under the bus to try to distance himself from them and suck up to a notorious LA Times enemy propagandist. And, of course, it wasn’t long before his “toys” were banned.

I get that paying more for a hunting and fishing license is no “fun.” I’d be curious to know how many who will have donated a significant fraction of what they spend on sporting purposes to groups/lawsuits fighting infringements, and how many are morons who vote for Democrats.

For the Children

SB 5098, if signed into law, will prohibit the presence of weapons in locations where children are likely to be present… [More]

Well, sure. You don’t want them protected because dead kids really add to the blood dance potential.

The minds manipulating the useful idiots are evil.

What must it take to be a Democrat? And what kind of parent who knows better would comply?

The Whole Point of Newspeak

Naming a law that unconstitutionally displaces American workers with foreign invaders the “Keep Washington Working Act” is comparable to calling a Green New Deal spending blowout the “Inflation Reduction Act” and a desecration of holy matrimony the “Respect for Marriage Act.” [More]

And they want you disarmed to “protect public safety.”

They Tyrannize Because They Can

Washington House Dems Pass Permit-to-Purchase Bill; Defies 2A, Say Critics [More]

That means the Marxists in charge can say “No,” and expand denial criteria with majority votes. This is naked, in-your-face tyranny.

As Constitutional scholar Edwin Vieira Jr. noted in Kolbe v. Hogan:

“This reliance on a permanent private market for firearms guaranteed that most militiamen, through their own efforts, could always obtain firearms suitable for both collective and individual self-defense, and forestalled tyranny by precluding rogue public officials from monopolizing the production, distribution, and possession of firearms.”

That’s why it’s a mistake to rely exclusively on “self defense” in legal arguments and avoid making a case for the Constitutiopnal Militia.
