There are so many of these bills in both chambers, it is possible I may have missed one or more. If there is a specific bill you were concerned about and I didn't include it in the list above, please let me know the bill number and I'd be happy to provide you a status update and contact information for the prime sponsor.


I offer the caveat that where I have noted a bill appears to be dead… these things have a nasty habit of springing back to life unexpectedly in the 11th hour, so I would encourage you to remain diligently engaged on the progress of these bills. As you likely know, I am opposed to each and every one of these bills and will continue to fight on your behalf. But please keep contacting the sponsors of these bills (their e-mail addresses are linked above) and let them know how you feel about them. You should also contact Governor Jay Inslee and Attorney General Bob Ferguson, as many of these bills were directly requested by them.


Yours in service,

As some of you may know by my other posts, the two Reps in my area Chapman and Theringer are both going to SO vote yes on every one of these gun bills.... Chapman proposes to be "staunch 2A".
here are his views... Hope you can stomach it!!!


James, thanks for sharing your thoughts on guns and gun control measures. As a former law enforcement officer, owner of multiple firearms, a concealed weapons permit holder and the father of a US Army soldier I am staunchly pro 2nd Amendment. That said I believe in responsible gun ownership and I believe certain weapons have no place on our streets.

I did sign on to the bill banning the purchase of assault rifles. I have also supported the safe storage of firearms and I have never been upset at background checks, waiting periods or responsible requirements. I co-sponsored limiting the magazine size and I support further training of gun owners.
See I believe responsible gun ownership by the majority protects the 2nd Amendment rights of all citizens and that without reasonable guidelines and restricting some types of weapons (fully automatic weapons have been restricted for years) all of our 2nd Amendment rights are at risk. I understand that not everyone agrees with me and I appreciate all views on this issue as that is what makes our Country great. Your opinions are as valid as mine and we can have respectful, open and free debate and dissent. I respect your opinion and I ask for the same courtesy. While we don't agree on the issues you raise here we can find agreement in other areas with respect to the 2nd Amendment.
I take these positions out of sense of conscience and moral duty to those I am sworn to protect and serve. I have been decorated in the line of duty by my Country and I take my responsibility as a State Legislator very seriously.
Again, thank you for taking the time to contact me.
