How absurd is I-594? Here is a flow chart.

This law is insane - if your wife even knows the combination to your gun safe and you are away from the house you are guilty of a gross misdemeanor at a minimum. If she gets the combination a second time you are a felon.

 

If you follow the tree, the law assumes that if anyone has access to your firearms that a transfer is implied. Just follow the flowchart:

Own a Firearm?

yes​

Have you handed it to someone else?

no​

Have you knowingly left or placed it somewhere that somebody else (i.e. your wife) has control of it due to proximity and their knowledge of existence?

yes​

Are you a licensed dealer?

No​

Are they a licensed dealer?

no​

Did you complete a background check through a licensed dealer prior to transfer?

no​

At this point you can be charged with a crime, where if you plead innocent the burden of proof is on you and not the prosecution. So much for innocent until proven guilty. If you are giving the firearm to your wife you are technically innocent, but the disposition is ambiguous where a transfer is not taking place.

 

Washington State will have to build a lot more jails if this passes.

 

Plus it is a tax,
"The purpose of taxes is to deny you the use of the money and control what you do."

 

My flow chart is more simplified.

Own or want to own a firearm and plan to take it out of your safe once in awhile, and are not a complete hermit?> Live in fear that the State can charge you with a crime.

 

I can't even imagine this stupid bill passing but unfortunately I have a gut feeling it will. People need to be informed on how terrible it is I was telling my mom about this bill. She stopped me mid sentence and said she agrees with background checks. Needless to say many people just think it's a simple background check.

 

You have no idea how bad I want this thing defeated (actually I'm sure all of you do). It's just ridiculous how literally everyone of us will instantly become a criminal. Every time I see my uncle he always has at least 1 new firearm that I like to handle and shoot. This wouldn't allow me to do it without breaking the law. It's absurd.

 

You're on social media called Gun Rights Coalition aren't you? I think I've seen you. That's a very powerful resource. I don't get how they will enforce this law either. What if my father and I are hunting and he is using one of my rifles like he has in the past? How does that work?

 

I'll have to go support your page then! I'm thankful for organizations like yours that defend our rights. Thank you very much! So I'm assuming with the hunting situation I would be transporting two firearms until I was in the field? That's so twisted and confusing.

 

Yep, it's a precursor to califating you up the bunghole.

 

God help Or-e-gon if this passes!!!!

 

Do you know who put this together?

 

Sad...I keep contributing, but my measly $$ won't look like anything compared to the billionaire idiots who are funding and buying the public on I-594!!

Where's the NRA???????? I just contributed to them too!!
