Washington: "Universal Background Check" Legislation Must be Defeated

Unfortunately, the rumors of more attempts at gun control in Washington have proven true. House Bill 1588, "universal background check" legislation, was introduced today by state Representative Jamie Pederson (D-43), Mike Hope (R-44) and 21 other state Representatives. This bill has been referred to the House Judiciary Committee, where Representative Jamie Pederson is the chairman and Representative Mike Hope is a key Republican on this committee.

House Bill 1588 is the first step toward universal registration and clearly over-reaches and infringes on our Right to Keep and Bear Arms. This bill would create a massive regulatory scheme and a huge burden for law-abiding citizens. It also would require that anytime you sell any firearm to a family member or friend, you will have to go through a gun dealer or law enforcement agency and pay a $20 gun tax, with no guarantee of timely processing. Additionally, while Concealed Pistol License (CPL) holders are currently exempt from having to undergo a background check when purchasing a firearm from a dealer, there is no provision in this bill that extends the CPL exemption to private sales.

Washington currently has strong background check requirements in place. Furthermore, it is already a federal felony for any private person to sell, trade, give, lend, rent or transfer a gun to a person they know or should have known is not legally allowed to own, purchase or possess a firearm. It should be noted that every year, tens of thousands of people fail to pass the background checks required for firearm purchases, yet only a fraction are prosecuted for providing false information. Before lawmakers begin creating more onerous rules and regulations, they should start enforcing the laws that are currently on the books.

Those who urge passage of so-called “universal background checks” fail to grasp the fundamental truth that this will only affect law-abiding citizens and not criminals. Criminals do not obey the law in the first place. For more information on restrictions on private transfers, please click here.

The entire legislature needs to know how Washington feels regarding universal background checks. It is imperative that you contact your state Representative and state Senator TODAY and respectfully express your opposition to House Bill 1588. It is especially important for you to contact your state Representative if he or she serves on the House Judiciary Committee.

SEATTLE ”STAND UP FOR RELIGIOUS FREEDOM” RALLY […] https://www.teapartypatriots.org/activity/p/37513/ Tue, 13 Mar 2012 20:05:16 +0000 CJ posted an update in the group Sno-Isle Tea Party NEWS FLASH! SEATTLE ”STAND UP FOR RELIGIOUS FREEDOM” RALLY
I invite you to join a fast-growing group of citizens for the Seattle ”Stand Up for Religious Freedom Rally”, Friday, March 23, 12:00noon to 1:00pm on the plaza of the US District Court building, 7th and Stewart Streets, downtown Seattle.

Similar “Stand Up for Religious Freedom” rallies will take place in, at last count, 103 cities across the nation at noon on March 23rd.

The national organizer’s website is:
http://www.standupforreligiousfreedom.com

At the website, a list of cities include rally locations and email to each city’s rally captain.

The purpose of the Seattle rally, as well as those across the nation, is so citizens who believe in the sanctity of the Constitution and representatives of impacted organizations can express unflagging support for the First Amendment of the US Constitution and show peaceful, impassioned opposition to the federal administration’s HHS mandate.

Organizers and rally participants represent a wide variety of faith traditions, nonprofit organizations and businesses – all of which will be directly and deleteriously affected by the federal HHS mandate and its effect of suffocating First Amendment Rights. Like the national outcry against the HHS mandate, this rally is about protection of the Constitution, of First Amendment rights. Rally messages and speakers shall reflect this.

Stand Up for Religious Freedom on March 23rd!!! See you at the rally!
