Washington Sheriff & county refuse to uphold 1639

[Cerberus Group]

If someone violates 1639 locally, specifically an unsecured firearm is stolen from someone and used in a crime...how does that stay at the state level?

If it was grandstanding, Bob Ferguson wouldn't have threatened Sheriff Bob Songer with prosecution if he fails to enforce 1639.

Yeah I dont know. Maybe, but I dont think safe storage requirements will be enforced even in King County because it's too vague. That part is a joke. I was mostly referring to the age requirement, training requirements and HIPPA waiver.

I'm probably off...but an 18-20 year old making a purchase of say an AR, it talks about going to the local LE agency for some background checks...that as well would not be state level.

Funny that the state officials are threatening people who are refusing to follow their laws, yet the officials are the same people that are refusing to follow federal law.
