*** New Scam from the Legislature *** SB 6620 ***

*** New Scam from the Legislature *** *** SB 6620 ***

The dishonest legislature is trying to rush through SB 6620 with the misleading title, "Improving security in schools and the safety of students". All the restrictive provisions of SB 5444 / HB 1387 are included in this scam and has nothing to do with student safety. They are still trying to restrict law-abiding citizens by reclassifying common, legal features that most law-abiding gun owners possess and redefine them as "Semiautomatic rifle or shotgun with tactical features". In reality, these firearms are only being defined by aesthetic features that in no way affect the functionality of the rifle. We need serious proposals to prevent violent criminals and the dangerously mentally ill from acquiring firearms. Passing a law such as SB 6620 punishes law-abiding citizens for the evil acts of criminals. Time is very short to stop this end run as this bill was introduced just 2 weeks before the end of the current session. Links provided... Please contact your lawmakers NOW!

Thanks bladebum for the new info. The mentally ill left will stop at nothing to take away our firearm rights given to us by the founding fathers and our Constitution. They will not be happy until we are completely disarmed. If they are successful in disarming us, it will then make criminals out of most of us, as most americans I doubt will completely give up there firearms no matter what laws they pass.
We all need to be vigilant in keeping up the fight against the loony tune left and there anti 2nd amendment laws. Using children to disarm us is despicable. In reality its not about the children, it's an outright war against gun owners until they can disarm us. They will use any venue they can including children in order to accomplish there goal of disarming us.
Again, Thanks bladebum for the new info.

Yep, sent my message to Andy Billig. Since he admits to being for common sense gun control measures, such as 594, I am certain he will support this as well. I will stand corrected should he respond and inform me he does not support these measures.

Unfortunately, Andy is one of the sponsors of this bill. I wrote to him also... :|

Doesn't surprise me. He claims to support the SA but he appears to vote in favor of every gun control bill which comes past his nose.

Anyone can go to the NRA website here https://act.nraila.org/default.aspx
Click on WA state on the map at the bottom of the page and it will take you to links where you can send emails to your legislators in Olympia for all of the pending gun control bills. Takes about 5 minutes to send emails to all of them for all of the pending bills.

With only 2 days left in the current session and lots of purposed amendments to be considered, this will most likely fail (for now). Several States (as well as retailers) have passed the 21 and over restriction to purchase firearms. The Feds may act on this as well...

FROM THE NRA

Washington: Legislature Adjourns Sine Die
On Thursday, March 8th, the Washington Legislature adjourned sine die from the 2018 Legislative Session with anti-gun Senate Bill 6620 failing to receive a vote. SB 6620 would have prohibited the purchase and transfer of all semi-automatic rifles to adults under 21, and would have also established up to a 10 day waiting period.

While your NRA-ILA has been on the ground in Olympia working hard with pro-gun legislators to defeat the outrageous anti-gun bills this session, it is thanks to your continued contact with your state legislators that makes all the difference. Thank you to NRA members and Second Amendment supporters that attended committee hearings and contacted legislators throughout the session. Additionally, thank you to all of the legislators that stood strong on protecting Second Amendment rights in Washington.

Your NRA-ILA will be back at the Capitol for the 2019 session, and in the meantime, please stay tuned to your email inbox and www.nraila.org for further updates on Second Amendment issues in the Evergreen State.

Beat me to it!
I just saw this a few minutes ago and came here to post it.
It didn't get a vote this time, but we can't let our guard down - this one (or others like it) will be back around next session.
Stay vigilant.

Does anyone really think their conservative voice matters in his state? You could call every liberal politician in this state with your opinion and it wouldn’t matter one bit. Dont think you had anything to do with his not getting voted on. The hot issues for the state are all the tax hikes coming. When we have to pay $4 a gal for gas, and your license tabs, grocery, and power bill doubles, not being able to own certain firearms ain’t going to matter.
