HEARINGS ON INITIATIVES<\/p>\n

HAVE GUN, WILL TRAVEL<\/p>\n

I-591 CERTIFIED BY SECRETARY OF STATE<\/p>\n

NEW BILLS FILED<\/p>\n

HBs 2164, 2459 PASS OUT OF COMMITTEE<\/p>\n

CHANGE IN POSITION ON HUNTER ED BILLS<\/p>\n

FRIDAY IS FIRST POLICY CHAMBER CUT-OFF<\/p>\n

Public hearings on the competing gun initiatives were conducted on Tuesday in House Judiciary and Wednesday in Senate Law & Justice.\u00a0 The House hearing got all the media attention, with former Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords and her former-astronaut husband Mark Kelly leading those testifying.\u00a0 The overflow crowd of attendees had to be sent to the House chamber.\u00a0 The crowd on Wednesday was smaller, but still filled more than just the Senate Law & Justice hearing room.<\/p>\n

Testimony in both hearings, especially the House hearing, was very interesting, and points out the difficulty we have in getting the pro-gun message across.\u00a0 Almost all of the pro-594\/anti-591 testimony was very emotional, consisting primarily of victims tales, with a few statistics thrown in.\u00a0 On our side, most anti-594\/pro-591 testimony was fact based, focusing on the difficulties in implementing I-594, it’s near-impossible enforcement, etc.\u00a0 Calm, cool and logical, just as we’re supposed to be when we choose to carry a defensive firearm.\u00a0 Unfortunately, emotion tugs at the heartstrings.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, a few individuals chose to exercise their right to openly carry firearms at the Tuesday event, and they’re the ones who drew the media attention for the pro-591 side.\u00a0 An interview with a camouflage-clad, AR-15 toting gunman beats a cold recitation of facts any time.\u00a0 This is the kind of image we have ten months to overcome, or we lose.<\/p>\n

The prevailing attitude in Olympia seems to be that this is an election year, and controversial social issues are best left off the table.\u00a0 At this point, neither initiative is likely to receive a vote out of either committee.\u00a0 If the session ends in five weeks without action on either initiative, they both go to the voters in November.\u00a0 And it’s going to be a long campaign up until election day.<\/p>\n

For those who were not able to make it to the hearings, they’re both available on TVWashington.\u00a0 Each runs a few minutes under two hours.\u00a0 The 28 January House Judiciary hearing is at http:\/\/tvw.org\/index.php?option=com_tvwplayer&eventID=2014010151<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0 The Senate Law & Justice hearing is here at http:\/\/tvw.org\/index.php?option=com_tvwplayer&eventID=2014010154<\/a><\/p>\n

Testimony was also heard on HB 1561, by Rep. Brian Blake (D-19), a bill that would open the door to legal possession of short-barreled rifles.\u00a0 Given the previously-stated attitude about staying away from controversial topics, getting this one voted out of committee is an uphill battle.\u00a0 I would urge all of you to contact your legislators and ask that HB 1561 receive a vote out of committee and a vote of the full House on the House floor.<\/p>\n

I-591 (pro-gun) was officially certified Friday by the Secretary of State.\u00a0 Both initiatives will now likely go to a vote of the people in November.<\/p>\n

Three new firearm-related bills were filed last week, bringing the total I am tracking to 45 (if I counted accurately).\u00a0 This is a record in recent years, but will change significantly at the end of the week with the first policy committee cut-off.<\/p>\n

HB 2551, by Rep. Jason Overstreet (R-42), removes the ability of the governor or other official to restrict the use, possession , sale or transfer of any firearm or ammunition during a declared state of emergency.\u00a0 Under current law, possession of firearms outside the home, as well as sale\/transfer, can be prohibited.\u00a0 Bills similar to this passed in several states following the gun confiscation policies practiced by New Orleans authorities after Hurricane Katrina.\u00a0 HB 2664, by Rep. David Taylor (R-15), extends the right of self defense, or defense of others, to those threatened by animal attack, both domestic and\/or wild.\u00a0 SB 6416, by Sen. Brian Hatfield (D-19), is a counterpart bill to HB 2502, and allows immediate delivery of a handgun to full-time commissioned law enforcement officers, just as a holder of a CPL can take immediate delivery.<\/p>\n

HB 2164, by Rep. Tina Orwall (D-33), passed out of the House Judiciary Committee on a unanimous vote.\u00a0 The bill requires intervention training for juveniles adjudicated (convicted) of firearm offenses.\u00a0 HB 2459, by Rep. Brian Blake (D-19) passed out of House Agriculture to House Finance.\u00a0 \u00a0SB 6199, by Sen. John Braun (R-20), prohibits incendiary targets or ammunition in certain circumstances.<\/p>\n

As I alluded to in my GOAL Alert last week, I have received several from hunter education instructors asking that we reverse our position on the Hunter Education fee increase bills.\u00a0 I defer to their perspective on service today as Hunter Ed instructors (my experience goes back 25-35 years, in California).\u00a0 Effective immediately, the GOAL Position on HB 2459 and SB 6039 is now “SUPPORT.”<\/p>\n

Friday, 7 February, is the first policy chamber cut-off date.\u00a0 Theoretically, any bills that have not passed out of their original policy committee, are effectively dead for the session.\u00a0 Except that nothing is truly dead until the session is over.\u00a0 A vote of the entire Senate or House can “relieve a committee” of consideration of a bill, and move it to the floor for a full chamber vote.\u00a0 It’s an unusual maneuver, but it does happen occasionally.<\/p>\n

My travels are done for the immediate future, so GOAL Post should be back to its normal Friday evening dissemination at the end of the week.\u00a0 I’m also trying another format change — placing the GOAL position on a bill on the same line as the bill status.\u00a0 Theoretically this will make it easier to read.\u00a0 I expect I’ll get input on that as well!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
