There are many stupid realities in this law. Anyone you hand your gun over to, even just to target shoot must go through a background check. This includes gun use classes etc. The West side really screwed us on this initiative. Only 9 of our 39 counties across the state voted a majority for the initiative. King County of course was 70% approval with a 248,000 vote margin of victory in the county. The measure won statewide by 218,000.
I so wish Eastern Washington could split and become our own state.
Apparently pioneer in WWII Paratrooper speak included the description I gave per Stephen Ambrose’s book,
“D Day, June 6 1944” in the chapter “Airborne into Normandy” However, I wouldn’t know. I wasn’t there.
Can a gun shop clerk hand a gun to a customer to examine?
Pointy objects are next.
I don’t know if they can or not. This law is so goofy, it wouldn’t surprise me if they can’t.
Apparently the legislature will have to make some laws to clean up this initiative so we’ll have to see how it ends up. I just know that we’re having our rights taken away by the liberals of King County who seem to vote for anything that’s part of the liberal agenda.
The way the law is written, it appears that the museum would have to return the firearms to their legal owners before the law takes effect. Then, after the law takes effect, the owners would have to take the firearms to a licensed dealer, who would then conduct the required background checks. After the museum passed the check, the dealer would then transfer the firearms to the museum.
And then, after the exhibit, the firearms would have to be taken back to a licensed dealer and their original owners would have to pass a background check in order to get them back.
Aside from the fees and the time and the hassle, it’s actually possible that some of the owners wouldn’t be able to get their firearms back afterward. Who’s going to take that risk?
No one.
