Got this yesterday from Sen. Sharon Brown
Your 2nd Amendment right under attack
Two bills that would undermine your 2nd Amendment right are moving through the Legislature this session. Because the lawmaking process is controlled by one party, both bills are likely to reach the governor's desk for his signature. As a woman, I'm concerned that these bills would have unintended consequences, which is why I voted against them.
Engrossed House Bill 1465: Right now, if you are one of the 600,000 Washingtonians who have a concealed pistol license (CPL), you can purchase a handgun without a waiting period because you have already gone through an extensive background check. However, this bill would prevent you from walking out of the dealer with your purchase until you go through another background check or waiting period -- every time you buy a handgun.
Even more concerning is how this bill would create a barrier for women who want to own a firearm for their own protection. It's the state victimizing women who are trying to exercise their 2nd Amendment right to protect themselves from being victimized. And it's unacceptable.
House Bill 1225: This bill would require law enforcement to confiscate any firearm(s) and ammunition in the household when they are called in on a report of domestic violence. It would also require law enforcement to keep the firearm(s) for five business days.
If a woman is a victim of domestic violence and the legal owner of a firearm, police should arrest the suspect but not confiscate the very thing she can use to protect herself. A domestic-violence suspect will likely be out of jail in less than five days and if the victim has no means of self-protection, she (because the victim is more often a woman) becomes a sitting duck for another attack. The state should look to protect the victim's constitutional right, not take it away.
AND on another Note: I was informed there WILL BE an additional mandatory 14 day wait on NICS checks due to implementing of I-1639. (Stupid me I can't remember when he said it starts.) Over and above? what's already going on.. my attention span was dislodged as I had biscuit's and gravy for breakfast.
On the + side of things, I've yet to speak to a single person that intends to adhere to 1639. Their words, not mine. But I hope they do..
BTW, I looked up stupid on the interweb and got this....
Was I wrong wherein I rushed to judgement when these names popped into my mind when defining stupid.. Waters, Pelosi, Nadler, Sanders, Frockt, Jinkins, AOC, Ilhan Omar, Schumer, nbc, cbs & the list just goes on & on like a bad dream... I think I need to do the mary je wanna thing to regain my focus..
