This could be an interesting day in King County, Wash., where the County Council is expected to join an effort by at least two local city governments to adopt regulations that challenge the Evergreen State’s long-standing preemption statute that forbids local governments from passing their own gun control laws, by approving a proposal put forth […]
Gun Prohibitionists Ramp Up Washington State Efforts
Gun prohibitionists behind Initiative 1639 in Washington State have apparently come clean with the Seattle Times, as that newspaper reported over the weekend that if the 30-page measure passes, “Washington’s firearms laws would be among the strictest in the country.” Perhaps by no coincidence, a new group has popped out of the woodwork that calls […]
