WA State action needed! Quietly attempting to dismantle our rights!

Please contact your legislators now! (https://app.leg.wa.gov/districtfinder)

The Senate Committee has moved forward several gun control bills to be considered!

If you are wondering about their intent: 

SB5174 revises:

The applicant's constitutional right to bear arms shall not be denied

to:

An application for a concealed pistol license shall not be denied

 

A minor, but very telling, change as to what their goals are. Still seem common sense?

I1639 removed mentioning firearms preemption from the Wildlife brochure handed out. SB5174 that is being debated NOW actually removes that preemption:

The purchaser shall be given a copy of the department of fish and wildlife pamphlet on the legal limits of the use of firearms((,)) and firearms safety((, and the fact that local laws and ordinances on firearms are preempted by state law and must be consistent with state law)).

Make no mistake that this is clear chipping away of our rights in a systemic way - piece by piece!
