A Response from one of my (Socialist) “Representatives” here in WA on SB 6396

I just received a response to one of my lengthy letters to my Representatives here in WA regarding SB 6396. 

Let’s hope he’s right!

________________________________________

Thanks for your message regarding SB 6396, the proposed assault weapons ban. The bill is scheduled for public hearing in the Senate Judiciary Committee today. The Senate Judiciary Committee has eight members; it takes five votes to pass a bill out. It is my understanding that there are not five votes on the committee for the bill, which means that the bill will not move forward this session.

Best wishes, Jamie

Second Amendment Rights

This Blog is dedicated to our Second Amendment Rights, currently under attack here in the State of Washington and across this United States of America.

I’ll be posting all current legislation in the United States, with a focus on Washington State, related to our Second Amendment Right To Bear Arms. On the right side of this page you’ll find several links to Government Agancies, Legal Information, Citizens Organizations,  Firearms Training & Shooting Facilities and Newsletters.

“The prohibition is general. No clause in the Constitution could by any rule of construction be conceived to give to Congress a power to disarm the people. Such a flagitious attempt could only be made under some general pretense by a state legislature. But if in any blind pursuit of inordinate power, either should attempt it, this amendment may be appealed to as a restraint on both.” [William Rawle, A View of the Constitution 125-6 (2nd ed. 1829)
