They realize the bill is unconstitutional but they do not care. Yes, SCOTUS will probably overturn the law but that time is at least a couple years down the road and they can do a lot of harm to firearm enthusiasts and the industry in that two year period.

It’s the liberal maniac Dem’s strutting around showing they’re doing something about all the shooting with “assault” guns.

“that time is at least a couple years down the road and they can do a lot of harm to firearm enthusiasts and the industry in that two year period.”

Isn’t it typical that in the face of constitutional questions that a responsible judge would issue an injunction or stay? (Setting aside the question of whether a responsible judge can be found in the Washington State appeals court system).

I’ve noticed how when a judge strikes down a law favorable to the Communists, the law remains in place throughout the appeals process, but when a judge strikes down a law favorable to the American people, a hold is put on the law until the final Supreme Court decision.

Could any lawyers comment on this?

This, coming on the heels of Senate passage of SB5889, allowing kids to transition without parental consent. What an interesting coinkidink 😖🤬🤬

Politicians who knowingly pass/create unconstitutional laws should face a minimum 25 years in federal prison.

It'll be struck down at least partially because of “Caetano v Massachusetts”,a recent SCOTUS decision (9-0) striking down a Massachusetts law forbidding the possession of stun guns.

Well said. And also in that couple years many other states will jump onto the band wagon and pass the same unconstitutional law. Which means by the time it gets to a court to be struck down it will now be deemed as “socially and culturally acceptable” by the majority and it will be upheld as acceptable and it will be allowed.

This is how Ca has gotten away with all their unconstitutional laws so far.

The fact they KNOW its unconstitutional and will be struck down is clear cut evidence they are NOT bound by oath to the Constitution. Anyone who said this should be removed from office immediately based on that very fact.

Citizens should sue the legislators. They are passing a law that will restrict constitutional rights knowing full well it won’t hold up. Therefore, they are purposefully committing mischief.

Gov. Insleaze will sign it into law tomorrow 4/20, Hitlers birthday of all things, but also on the anniversary of the Columbine shooting to make a media spectacle out of it.

Its an absolute train wreck of a law with multiple constitutional infringements and will not hold up in superior court. 9th Circuis will probably uphold it or place it on hold for review after an emergency injunction by lawsuits are filed. Every Washingtonian knows how the $30 car tags ended up after we overwhelmingly voted for it.

As a Washington resident I have fought hard against this atrocity of a bill, it will do NOTHING!!! to prevent crime or shootings. Under this law, even being in posession of replacement parts for a owned firearm; springs, trigger groups, BCG’s, firing pins etc., makes an individual an instant felon. The law is so vague that it does prevent not only gunsmiths and even the owners to disassemble, clean and reassemble, because now one falls into the “manufacture” of an “assault weapon” catagory.

The list of what the law considers an assault weapon is open to interpretation and it pretty much makes everything other than revolvers, some bolt pump and lever action rifles, pump and break action shotguns the only firearms allowed.

Its heartbreaking that my state and our country has fallen to the exceptions being the rule of the land. But those c0cksuk3rs will never break my will. I am heavily considering running for office in my district next election cycle. My past is filled with flaws, but Im not afraid to admit my failings, my opponent will gladly put them into an attack/attempt to slander me, but I have repented thricefold for my mistakes in life. The encroachment of individual rights safeguarded by the Constitution needs to have someone to put their toes down in the turf and push back.

Trump set an anchor and has given millions of us a place to hold fast, but push forward once the seas have settled. The main storm has begun to settle and every link in the chain of freedom has held strong, its time we pull anchor and head into the winds against the storm.

Keep in mind, this is not a call to violence, its a call to quit being a keyboard warrior and actually do something. We need to take the rules the left have been using against us and (metaphorically) shove it back in their faces.

End rant! Lol

You don’t need the USSC to find the law unconstitutional. A federal district judge can tell the Washington fascists to stuff it.

It also takes time and money to challenge this obviously unconstitutional law.
