Hitting the Ground Running

Responding quickly to the adoption of House Bill 1240 by the Washington Legislature and Gov. Jay Inslee signing it into law, the Second Amendment Foundation today filed a federal lawsuit challenging the new statute on Second and Fourteenth Amendment grounds, and is asking the court for preliminary and permanent injunctions.

That and:

INSLEE’S TRAINING REQUIREMENT FOR GUN BUYERS SAME AS LITERACY TEST FOR VOTERS [More]

And One in the ‘Loss’ Column — For Now

Washington governor poised to sign massive ‘assault weapons’ ban, says it ‘will save lives’ – Bill will ban the sale and manufacture of dozens of semiautomatic rifles in Washington [More]

Because nothing says “security of a free State” like requiring the Militia of the whole people to engage a military threat with inferior armaments.

If SCOTUS doesn’t end up ruling such diktats unconstitutional, it’s game over for peaceful resolution outside of leaving the abusive “partner,” and that’s assuming the power-drunk headcase doesn’t resort to violence if that happens.

Funny, how we don’t call women who leave a relationship under such circumstances “seditionists.”

None Dare Call It Treason

Both chambers of the Washington State Legislature have now approved a historic ban on the sale of assault weapons in Washington state. [More]

They know they’re doing evil. They not only don’t care, they get off on it.

This will be resolved one of two ways: Either the Supreme Court will rule it unconstitutional, or the people who will not disarm will.

Then on to the next Intolerable Act…

One Step Closer

In Washington state, House Bill 1240 was voted out of a Senate committee Tuesday, making it closer to becoming a reality. [More]

Here’s where you can track its progress.

After it passes and then wends its way through the challenges, all the Supreme Court will have to do to let it stand is… nothing.

If they do decide it’s time to resolve splits, a prayer for the continued good health of Justice Thomas wouldn’t hurt.

Wrong Thinking is Punishable

“Under Washington state law, residents will now be classified as domestic terrorists if they protest school board meetings, Drag Queen Story Hour Events, and the outcome of elections… These include being anti-mask, anti-vaccine, anti-critical race theory, questioning election results, and calling the LGBTQ community “groomers.” [More]

I’m not getting Minority Report analogy from this so much as a Keepers vibe…

Washington State Pile-On

The Assault on Our 2nd Amendment Rights [More]

I could spend time quibbling with that characterization, but the priority here is understanding the areas of attack:

  • HB-1240 has a long list of weapons that will be banned under this legislation.
  • HB-1178 – Concerning local government authority to regulate firearms.
  • HB-1143 – Concerning requirements for the purchase or transfer of firearms.
  • HB-1144 – Enhancing requirements for the purchase or transfer of firearms.
  • HB – 1240 – Establishing firearms-related safety measures to increase public safety.

They’re all over at the above link, plus Washington Gun Law details them out and points out the urgency for action. [Watch]

Unintended Consequences

[T]he Attorney General’s Office has filed suit against Federal Way Discount Guns claiming that they unlawfully sold high capacity magazines in violation of RCW 9.41.370. However, while this is certainly bad news for that business, did the Attorney General just hand the plaintiffs in Sullivan v. Ferguson and Brumback v. Ferguson, the very “standing” that the AG claimed that the plaintiff’s lacked? [Watch]

Be nice to think the grabbers screwed up and in doing so screwed themselves…
