“...All that happens is that some doped-up 19-year old will go and buy a Walther PPK, and kill a dozen people with it....”
In which case they’d use it as an excuse to try a handgun ban.
I have a problem with ANY LAW the democrats and/or RINOs pass to try to impose their gun control agenda.
Washington might just as well have defined an "assault rifle" as any gun that is scary looking!
If you live in that socialist hellhole, and you care about the Constitution, get out while you can.
All of these attempted laws lead back to a state law (in all fifty states) that define murder. Apparently, that law (without much confusion attached to it)....never seems to make any difference.
No, it doesn't, and never will.
Because at the end of the day, the people who write and pass those laws don't care about murder.
They only care about POWER, and the fact that that firearm in YOUR hands gives YOU the power to say "Hell, No, GFyourself" to THEM.
And ultimately that is ALL it is about - incrementally disarming us and having coercive control over you, me and every other American Citizen.
They are Public SERVANTS and should be treated as such, and when they step beyond their place, they should be treated with contempt and removed from ANY position of authority.
Can they also ban those under 21 from the free exercise of their religion, or from freely speaking?
Perhaps we need a law so people must take a course ($50? $400) to safely vote.
As it stands today, Washington voters badly need such a law.
Re: I believe that was a separate referendum - but it did pass.
Thanks for correcting that.
Memories fade fast at my age!
Ha yea, that’s pretty much how the old Federal ‘assault weapons’ ban defined them!
The liberals that wrote the law deliberately distorted the definitions to blur the publics perceptions of the lethality of commonly owned rifles.
