Two anti-civil rights bills were introduced into the Washington State Legislature.
HB 2374 would place a statewide $0.05 tax on each cartridge of ammunition.
HB 2354 would label and ban nearly all semi-auto firearms as “assault weapons”.
If you’re a resident, you know who you need to call about this. Please do so and make sure that neither of these bigoted proposals leave the Judiciary Committee room.
Heh.You should see HB 731`in Georgia. It would ban any mag-fed center-fire rifle with a grip. Not pistol grip; grip.
Thanks, did not know about such a law!
Don’t forget HB 2460. It will shred CPL rights in WA.

Got a reply from my rep, Rodger Goodman. He’s a D, but he’s pretty reasonable as Dems go on the topic of guns. His note said:
Thanks very much for contacting me about this, Rolf.
I believe HB 2354 in particular violates Article I, Section 24 of the Washington State Constitution and I will not support it.
Rest assured that, as an attorney and as a legislator, I support and abide by your firearms rights secured by Washington state law, which are greater than the firearms rights secured by the U.S. Constitution.
You may also rest assured that these bills will NOT be enacted into law.
Thanks again, Rolf, and all best wishes,
Certainly hope he’s right.
