I find it interesting in all the various threads and comments about Washington's efforts to restrict our 2nd amendment rights, I don't see much mentioned about Washington State's own constitution.
SECTION 24 RIGHT TO BEAR ARMS. 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.
Sure can't be much clearer than that. Right there, black and white, no Militia word, no commas to acknowledge or not. Just a simple God given right to bear arms in my own defense. It truly makes me wonder how all these initiatives and laws stand up to "Shall Not be Impaired", within the state of Washington.
