Washington HB 2054 (2023/2024) - Max 1 firearm within any 30-day period

[AshWilliams]

It's just going to get worse. WA lawmakers' goal is to eradicate all firearms from the state, so expect a deluge of legislation just like this and worse over the next few years.

 

[bentoncity]

And how will this reduce crime?

Per the bill....AN ACT Relating to bulk purchases and transfers of firearms;
I'm assuming the intent is to stop straw purchases but that's just a guess on my part. Even if that's true, I'd like to see FACTUAL DATA of arrests & convictions! If they are not able to produce it, then the bill goes away. How's that for wishful thinking..

Why would they do that when they can make it up just as easily?

Expect the same in Oregon. The leftist psychos don't like the competition.

It's never about crime.

Write Farivar & Ormsby a letter and ask them what their intent was/is by introducing this piece of crap?

I like the practical examples that you've stated in your email to the overlords of WA. Great way to point out reality.

My guess, too - but I don't think it would even slow down straw purchases.

 

[Explorer1]

The way it seems to be worded implies that "a" dealer may only deliver one firearm a month. I am likely wrong However the way it's worded it looks like "a" dealer is "an" FFL. i don't see anything indicating a limit on the number of background checks.

Don't worry, as soon are the tyrannical supporters here this comment that will change to clarify they mean ONLY one a month for the sheeple.

 

[Explorer1]

And while you're at it, ask them if they are willing to pitch in to help us pay for their new one-gun-a-month requirement. I normally only buy a couple new guns a year, but now they want me to buy 12 new guns each year. I'll try, but not sure I can afford that with their mandate.
( )

Remember the one-a-month book clubs? Need to start a one-a-month bang stick club! (Just wish I could afford it...)

 

[Explorer1]

And how will this reduce crime?

Fewer criminals will be charged as LEOs are doing background checks and harassing FFLs so the crime stats should drop and prison loading as well. Isn't that the real goal?

 

[Jay Walk]

They feel emboldened, look at what they have gotten away with over the last few years.
The Constitution means dick to them.

It's never about crime.

it's not about deaths ether
10 times as many people die from smoking related deaths than guns
but you don't see Emsly declaring a health emergency over smoking deaths, even with 8300 smoking related deaths last year
75% of all Washington guns deaths are suicides, but you don't see Emsly declaring a medical emergency over mental health

I just ran the California info - 40,000 people die each year in California from cigarette smoking affects
that cost the State $9.8 BILLION a year in medical cost
but because Newsom gets paid by big tobacco, he does not see this as a problem

Any proof of that? The Newsome taking money that is. I hear stuff like this a lot and like to "spot" check once in a while. Not against your thinking but I'm too lazy to prove your statement right or wrong.

 

[arakboss]

This seems like the least burdensome of the bills I have seen. I might actually be able to put money into savings if I wasn't buying one or more a week.

He's related to Nancy Pelosi, which means he's protected by Satan.

 

[Chrisbcritter]

In WA is this one firearm per 30 days or just one bgc per 30 days? The way things are going people may have to revert to the old ways. Not suggesting anything at all, just repeating things I overhear.

ATF is very specific on what is and what isnt a firearm. The registered part (receiver) is the gun. BCGs and other parts are not andhighly unlikely will be restricted/regulated/limited. If you are that hard up for parts, run to the board north or east and get anything you want and bring it back. Plus pay cash so there is no trace

 

[Mark W.]

I can see how if a person owns no firearm where something this stupid might have a tiny chance of some sort of effect on crime. But when someone with 2 dozen firearms walks into a dealer to by number 25 and 26 how on earth can this be anything but an infringement? Its not like it would keep anyone from breaking a dozen other laws.

 

[bentoncity]

Nary word one from either sponsor of this wanna-be bill. Whooda thunk it..
