2 Anti-Gun Measures To Be Considered In Washington House Committee

Two damaging anti-gun pieces of legislation are schedule for consideration this Thursday in the Washington state House Judiciary Committee.

House Bill 1387 would impose a registration-licensing system for so-called “assault weapons” and so-called “large-capacity magazines.” House Bill 1122 is vaguely written legislation that could potentially subject law-abiding gun owners to gross misdemeanor penalties, including huge fees and potential imprisonment, if they don’t lock their firearms up and render them useless for any self-defense scenario. 

Both measures would further severely restrict the Second Amendment rights of law-abiding Washington citizens and should be vigorously opposed by the Evergreen State gun owners and others who care about freedom.

Use Your Power!

Washington state gun owners are encouraged to attend this hearing, set for Tuesday at 1:30 p.m., and voice their opposition to these anti-gun measures. You can also contact committee members that will be considering these bills by clicking here.

Standing Guard | The NRA Gathers to Celebrate Our Freedom

The momentum we’re seeing across the country is both encouraging and energizing. January opened with tremendous activity at the NRA booth during SHOT Show, where members, industry partners and supporters stopped by to connect, share ideas and reaffirm their commitment to freedom and the Second Amendment.

Port Authority Doubles Down on Constitution-Free Zone with High-Profile Arrest

As anyone who has passed a basic civics class knows, the U.S. Constitution is the supreme law of the land. All legislation and official government actions are subject to its limits.
