I-594 has been cleverly drafted to sound like it merely makes small changes to gun laws, not a flat-out ban or gun registration scheme. This is why it is so dangerous.

Read the fine print. Remember there are “lawyers” drafting this legislation and they serve their Satanic overlord...their power grab for your guns will be skillfully concealed...
They’re trying to say that only 35% of the people in Washington state own a firearm? More likely only 35% of them admit to it...
“Additionally, purchasing rifles and shotguns does not require background checks, even if from a dealer.”
Townhall needs to fact-check itself.
Yeah, I went back and reread that part. I guess like currently allowable, private party long arms are not required to do a BGC but any FFL sale is BGC’d. Didn’t read that way in the article. Unless WA has some weird ruling that overrides federal requirement. Which I doubt it does.
Even if passed, this proposed law clearly violates the state and federal constitutions. Therefore, it will be tossed out once a lawsuit is filed to overturn it.
That sentence is no longer in there - it was mistakenly put in from a source that was incorrect.
