Fight Back! The Washington State Senate has introduced gun restrictions, SB 6396, sponsored by Senators Fairley, Kline, Kohl-Welles, and McDermott. Get a copy Future sale of every self-loading and pump action rifle or shotgun which has a detachable magazine and a pistol style grip near the trigger is banned. This description fits nearly every type of rifle and shotgun. Magazines may not hold more than ten rounds. For those already possessing this newly defined assault weapon class, and who decide to keep it, every year storage must be inspected on site and certified by the county Sheriff. SB 6396 defines possession in the presence of children of a firearm with more than 10 rounds in the magazine as felony. And The Washington State House of Representatives has introduced gun transfer restrictions, HB2477, sponsored by Representatives Williams and Chase. Get a copy. The bill seeks to abolish the private transfer of firearms, even between family and friends, at gun shows. HB2477 would hold law-abiding gun owners liable for the acts of criminals. Under this bill, if a firearm is privately transferred at a gun show to a person who is ineligible, the seller can be held liable for injury or death caused by the criminal use of that firearm.
Further, in order to implement this bill, tracking firearm ownership will be required. The predictable follow-up to this bill's passage is comprehensive firearms registration.
We must take action consonant with our free state. We address this petition to the Attorney General of Washington, Rob McKenna. Honorable Sir, Recently introduced legislation bill SB 6396 and HB 2477 both seek to undermine the constitutional guarantee stated in Article 1, Section 24 of our state constitution, in that either bill seeks to impair the right of the state citizen to be armed. Washington State Constitution, Article 1, SECTION 24: "RIGHT TO BEAR ARMS. The right of the individual citizen to bear arms in defense of himself, or the state, shall not be impaired, but nothing in this section shall be construed as authorizing individuals or corporations to organize, maintain or employ an armed body of men." The accused are State Representatives Brendan Williams and Maralyn Chase, and Senators Darlene Fairley, Adam Kline, Jeanne Kohl-Welles, and Joe McDermott. Further, the action these politicians contemplate is contrary to to section 3, the statement of personal rights. in that these politicians seek to bypass the due process of law and force citizens to surrender their property without any trial. Washington State Constitution, Article 1, SECTION 3: "PERSONAL RIGHTS. No person shall be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law."
Therefore, we the people demand the removal of these seditionists from the state legislature, their subsequent indictment, trial and consequent imprisonment for attempted subversion of the stated rights of the people.
