Dems in WA pursuing yearly rifle permit

[WasrNwarpaint]

that's it blame it on Californians ....take responsibility

a democratic vote is a vote for gun control
its about the only message the democratic party agrees on, that and never Trump....... brilliant strategy

Well that covers well less then 1/3 of the long guns I own.

But if you have any guns in the registry, then they will come knocking on your door to check that every gun you have is now licensed, and while they are at it, they will take the serial #s, make and model.

It won't do any good to move to a free state, "sell" all of your guns and then move back, because they will still have your name and still come check.

No, they probably won't check everybody - they only have to check a few to make an example of those owners, and the rest will fall in line after a few people get sent to prison for not complying. That is how it works - not house to house, but a few high profile and well publicized cases with people's lives ruined will change most people's minds.

Wouldn't a requirement of a permit to purchase a firearm be an infringement on the second amendment? Ill tell you where you can shove that permit, stuff like this just screams the state wanting control over who can purchase firearms while we already have the right as written in our constitution.

Almost all gun laws infringe on the 2A.

What matters legally is whether courts think it infringes on the 2A and whether they care.

You mean like a 9th circuit court?

 

[The Heretic]

You mean like a 9th circuit court?

I mean state supreme, then district circuit, then SCOTUS (if they agree to hear it) - I think that's how it goes?

So yes, the 9th would get involved?

Oh, their track record is impeccable. According to the American Bar Association, their reversal rate is only 80%.

IMHO its the checking door to door that will cause the BIG problems.

Well with my track record of getting what I truly wished for.
They won't be doing that.

Unlikely to happen.

They don't have the power, and they don't need to do it.

Like I said, a bit of divide and conquer combined with some individuals made an example of, and most will fall in line - including those talking big now.

If this does happen I see my SIL in Arizona buying some stuff really cheap! Like the cost of a transfer and fuel for a road trip to deliver them to him.

 

[Caveman Jim]

I've been stationed all over, including California. Sad to see that it is bleeding over.

It surely is sad but all the citizens in the PNW are the ones who let this come in little bt little and did not stand up to it.

The way things are at this moment in time, the WA Supreme court is actually worse than the 9th Circus............. the 9th Circus does have at least a few justices who actually respect and abide by the Constitution. We need a few more replacements before SCOTUS will hear a gun case.

TX and the SW are lookong better and better

 

[AirResq]

They are wasting taxpayers money to spend time thinking about such an asinine move. I already have a permit. It's called the Second Amendment.

Yeah, like that's goona happen. They better pack a big lunch....

 

[ma96782]

DYK.....the Dems/Liberals/Progressives are only looking out for the PUBLIC'S SAFETY.

Rrrrright.

Afterall.....all gun owners are potential "KILLERS." So, it's essential that the govt knows who has the guns.

First, they'll start with a license/registration system. Next, they'll charge for the privilege to have the lic. Maybe, a couple of bucks just to start. Then, they'll raise the price of a lic. If they haven't destroyed the gun ownership culture by then....well, since they know who owns the guns......they'll just collect them.

Don't worrry,.....because by then, there will be very little gun owners to oppose them.

Aloha, Mark

The upside:

If there was ever any doubt in anybody's mind about where the dems are going with gun control, this should convince more people of their ultimate goals.

I personally hope that this doesn't pass - I am thinking they played their hand too early, what with 2018 elections coming up, a narrow margin of power, rural dems hopefully not voting for it, and hopefully public pressure. They should have waited until they had a sure thing instead of going for it now. Or they would maybe have been better to put this as a voter initiative since they maybe have a better chance of getting all the urban voters (the majority in WA state) to vote for it.

I'll save you a spot, Jim. We'll watch the coast burn from our front porches.

Thanks for that, we will likely not retire in Wa, although we have our first grandchild on the way and they plan to stay, I cannot (will not) stay and be persecuted for beincg a law abiding gun owner any longer.

I'm in the same boat as you Jim. I will not stay in WA for the long haul because of this madness.

I understand that historically the diplomatic method of patience and termperment of words with liberals was beneficial in finding common ground. When these people are continually coddled to the point that we lose all control, in which we are on the brink now, this is what we get. Are there any serious politicians out there that are prepared to call out these traitors for what they are??
