This is a SERIOUS last minute tactic to slip this into last minute of the current session. It is also a companion bill to HB 3004

FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 23, 2018
"Today, anti-gun legislators in Olympia have submitted Senate Bill 6620 just two weeks before the end of the current session. SB 6620 includes provisions that would raise the minimum age to purchase a semi-automatic rifle or shotgun to 21 years of age and would also establish a 10 day waiting period. SB 6620 has been referred to the Senate Ways & Means Committee and can be heard as early as 9:00AM tomorrow. Please use the "Take Action" button below to contact committee members and your state Senator and urge them to remove the anti-gun provisions in SB 6620! Click the "Take Action" button below to contact committee members and your state Senator."

We gotta do what we can folks fast as we can, with no messing around about it. There's only 2 weeks left of the current session to go and they are trying to slip this through at the last minute while many pro gun people are asleep at the wheel.

Here is a link to the bill listed as a school security measure.

So what are they going to do about all the 18 year olds who already own these guns?

What about the 18 year olds who move in from another state with a gun?

I don't want to see this happen but the logic is they won't be 18 forever but the next generation won't have as many 18yr Olds with guns, only ones from family.

You can go kill for your country snd defenfd its liberty and way of life with a fully automatic weapon but can defend your life and property when you get back.

Brilliant.

 

[IOM]

None of these solve anything, just a knee jerk reaction so they can feel good about passing more hurdles and road blocks on those that abide by the laws already on the books...

 

[shibbershabber]

well... We can email them... But you know it will pass.

all of these lefty states are falling all over themselves trying to one up each other with the most draconian gun laws.

maybe a scotus challenge?

maybe upon turning 18 and buying a gun, people will realize how stupid and arbitrary gun laws are.... We can get more politically active gun owners...

How many 18-20yr olds are at JBLM right now?
How many in Wa NG?

 

[fredball]

did all 12 of them

 

[IOM]

did all 12 of them

As did I...

 

[IOM]

I bet they aren't even thinking about the damge to the state when it concerns hunting...

 

[bbbass]

Why include semi-auto shotguns?? Makes no sense at all to me... except as a political move. Next will be a ban on semis.

GOAL Alert 2018-2

Legislative alert from Olympia 25 February 2018




HOUSE COUNTERPART TO SB 6620


ACTION NEEDED, NOW!




I'd say I'm sorry for the rush of messages, but I'm not. The rush is caused by end-of-session manipulation by Democrat "leadership" in Olympia, and calls for a strong response.

As I have posted frequently, it ain't over 'til the fat lady sings. And she's not scheduled to sing until midnight on 8 March (a week from this coming Thursday). While the legislature sets cut-off dates and other procedural processes to keep bills moving and cull out other bills, the bottom line is that these are not written in the state Constitution, they are internal rules adopted by the legislature and may be changed by the legislature at will.

The House has filed a "counterpart bill", HB 3004, to SB 6620. A counterpart bill is a verbatim duplicate of the bill filed in the other chamber. If both pass unamended, it/they go straight to the governor for his signature.

SB 6620/HB 3004 is a 14 section, 28 page bill in their words, "Improving security in schools and the safety of our students." What it is is a Trojan horse, gun control hidden under the guise of the standard Democrat mantra "It's for the children."

Part I of the bill is a single section less than one page in length and talks about unspecified funding for "school emergency response systems." Part II, "Students protecting students," is three more sections spread over 10 pages and discusses nominally establishes a program whereby students may – anonymously if so desired – report potential threats to school safety and sets out procedures, including court action, to be followed, as well as identity protection for all involved in the process up to and including law enforcement and court personnel.

Part III is the zinger, "Semiautomatic rifles or shotguns with tactical features." 18 pages, 24 sections describing the offending firearms as semi-auto rifles or shotguns with detachable magazines (mostly the features such as pistol grip, thumbhole stock, flash hider, grenade launcher – the standard litany of evil features from the federal 1994 Clinton/Feinstein "assault weapon ban"). There are some omissions here but I'm not going to identify them. Please note that these definitions do not include tube-fed firearms or manually operated firearms.

The principal focus in Part III is shifting "semiautomatic rifles and shotguns" to the same category as that applied to handguns: they can only be sold to individuals age 21 and over, and are subject to the additional requirements for handguns: additional state paperwork and waiting periods (with the existing CPL exemption).

Keep in mind, under I-594 ALL firearm transfers must be processed by a licensed dealer, meaning that de facto registration already exists via the FFL's required record-keeping, but this would effectively add offending semi-auto firearms to the state pistol registry, creating an on-line data base of such firearms.

It also increases the state firearm dealers license fee from $125 to $150.

Text of SB 6620: http://lawfilesext.leg.wa.gov/biennium/2017-18/Pdf/Bills/Senate Bills/6620.pdf

Text of HB 3004 has not been posted yet, but the bill's home page is at: Washington State Legislature:

It is the intention of legislative "leadership" to ram this bill through before the end of the session. How much time will be given to public testimony remains to be seen – at this point nu public hearings are scheduled.

It is imperative that you contact your legislators as soon as possible to ask that they remove Part III from the bill. Parts I and II are likely legitimate, but Part III is strictly a ploy to use school and children's safety as a cover for more gun control.

You can find your legislators by visiting: Washington State Legislature

Once you find your district, simply scroll down to see your Senator and Representatives listed. Click on their name and it will take you to their information, including a link to e-mail them.

Or you can call the Legislative Hotline tollfree at (800) 562-6000.

We need to flood the legislature with you going on record opposing Part III of SB 6620/HB 3004.

This is just step one on their agenda. There is already discussion of raising the age limit for the purchase of ALL firearms to age 21. The Bill of Rights does not impose an age limit on the exercise of fundamental, enumerated (listed) constitutional rights. Not to mention the fact that you can enlist in the military, or be drafted, and fight for your country at age 18.


If anyone receiving this is attending the WAC gun show in Puyallup today, please make copies of this and take them to the show. Thank you/.

Done and done again.
I just wish it did some good but these Comifornia/Washifornia politicians will do what they damn well please, citizens be damned!!!

Ready the torches and pitchforks folks, have you all had enough???

 

[shibbershabber]

I bet they aren't even thinking about the damge to the state when it concerns hunting...

No.

because they don't care about hunting at.

hunting culture = gun culture.

eliminate one, then eliminate the other

 

[Cigarlvr313]

Now look at this bill they just passed.............I was under the mistaken impression that these were "public servants"?

WA Legislature passes public records exemption bill

Just more proof that these Political Elites are above those pesky minute little people laws...

 

[Cigarlvr313]

This can't possibly be "legal"?

 

[gunsmithkinks]

They are just a pack of no good sobs. Passing that chit to cover thier own azzes.

 

[jsparks747]

So what are they going to do about all the 18 year olds who already own these guns?

What about the 18 year olds who move in from another state with a gun?

What I want to know is why are these lawmakers so damn stupid?

They will serve the public, but only if "public" means far left leaning progressives.

 

[The Heretic]

What I want to know is why are these lawmakers so damn stupid?

Not stupid.

Ignorant.

But they do know how to manipulate the populace.

They don't care about the people.

They care about their power and maintaining it.

They may make stupid ineffective laws, but they don't care, because it makes them look like they doing something.

Hanlon's Razor: "Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity."

Which is generally valid - except for the 'never' part (never say never). When it comes to people in power, the reverse is true; do not attribute to stupidity that which is adequately explained by malice.

I.E., what do they have to gain by their actions?

Think like a lying corrupt power hungry politician would think - not how a public servant or leader would think.

Correct, doing nothing 100% guarantees you it will pass and you will lose. Better to not even try , it's too difficult.
