IT’S OVER!\u00a0 LEGISLATURE ADJOURNS<\/p>\n

RECORD NUMBER OF BILLS FILED, FEW SURVIVE<\/p>\n

COMPLETE BIENNIUM LIST OF BILLS INCLUDED<\/p>\n

BEWARE STEREOTYPES REGARDING PRO- OR ANTI-GUN POLITICIANS<\/p>\n

INITIATIVE WARS TO COMMENCE<\/p>\n

ELECTION EIGHT MONTHS AWAY<\/p>\n

GOAL POST WEEKLY PUBLICATION ENDS… FOR NOW<\/p>\n

The regular 2014 legislative session ended late Thursday, 13 March, as required by the state constitution.\u00a0 Although a record number of firearm-related bills were filed during the biennium, no major \u00a0pro- or anti-gun legislation passed over the two year period.\u00a0 One clear pro-gun bill passed, albeit of limited impact to those individuals who are willing to pay a $200 federal transfer tax to acquire a short barreled rifle:\u00a0 SB 5956 (Hatfield, D-19),\u00a0 That bills is on Governor Inslee’s desk, awaiting his signature… or his veto.\u00a0 A third option would be to let the bill become law without his signature (Washington’s chief executive does not have a “pocket veto” capability). \u00a0The supplemental budget bill passed — a second session must-have, so no special session is on tap at this time.\u00a0 Unless a special session is called, all of the bills filed but not passed in 2013-2014 are dead.<\/p>\n

A record (in my 21 years of lobbying) 51 firearm-related bills were filed during the 2013\/2014 biennium.\u00a0 Three passed in 2013 and were signed by the governor, four more bills passed this year and are awaiting the governor’s signature (HBs 1840 and 2164, SBs 5956 and 6199).<\/p>\n

This week SB 6025 (use of body armor during the commission of a felony) was sent back to House Appropriations, where it died.\u00a0 The House concurred in the Senate amendment to HB 2164 (counseling for juveniles with firearm convictions\/adjudications) and the bill was sent to the governor.\u00a0 The Senate concurred in the House amendment to SB 6199 (prohibiting the use of incendiary targets during wildfire season) and that went to the governor as well.<\/p>\n

As the session ended, we have four bills awaiting Governor Inslee’s action:\u00a0 HB 1840, HB 2164, SB 5956 and SB 6199.\u00a0 I expect he will sign at least three.\u00a0 The one big question mark is SB 5956 (short barreled rifles).<\/p>\n

I have rolled ALL of the bills filed back into the “Bill Status” section, with their final status.\u00a0 Most died at various stages of the process..<\/p>\n

I think it’s important to remind readers that while in general, Republicans support gun owners and Democrats oppose us.\u00a0 But generalities only go so far.\u00a0 There are significant exceptions to that observation.\u00a0 In this biennium we had seven pro-gun bills introduced by Democrats.\u00a0 But it should also be noted that only two of those bills passed the legislature.\u00a0 Having a Democrat sponsor doesn’t give the bill an automatic pass.\u00a0 There are a handful of Democrats in the legislature, who come from suburban or rural districts, who are committed to protecting and advancing the rights of gun owners, usually in opposition to their caucus mates.\u00a0 Without their support — and vocal opposition to anti-gun bills while inside caucus meetings — the outcome would be far different.\u00a0 At election time we need to support these individuals.\u00a0 More on these Democrats as election time nears.<\/p>\n

Neither chamber took any action on either of the gun initiatives (I-591 and I-594) sent by petition to the legislature.\u00a0 Given this is an election year, the lack of action is no surprise.\u00a0 Let the electorate decide!\u00a0 In no way is this the end, it’s only the beginning of the battle.\u00a0 Without doubt you will see advertising on both initiatives, pro and con.\u00a0 It’s going to be interesting to see how much cash the Seattle elite gang supporting I-594 are willing to throw into the fight.\u00a0 The pro-gun side, Protect Our Gun Rights, will likely have a much more limited budget.<\/p>\n

What all that means is that a greater part of the FOR 591\/AGAINST 594 will fall on the shoulders of every gun owner in Washington.\u00a0 I guarantee the other side will portray I-594 as a simple background check bill with no greater impact.\u00a0 After all, if you have nothing to hide, why should you fear a background check?<\/p>\n

HINT:\u00a0 IT’S NOT ABOUT BACKGROUND CHECKS.\u00a0 Ignore the de-facto tax imposed on ALL firearm transfers, via the FFL’s processing fee ($25-50 in most cases) and the extended waiting period of up to 30 days in the event of a “delay” response (most “delays” eventually pass, just a question of ensuring the “John Smith” attempting to buy the gun isn’t the “John Smith” with a long criminal record).<\/p>\n

As a background check proponent testified in Olympia in 2007, it’s not about background checks, it’s about an “audit trail on guns.”\u00a0 That’s REGISTRATION.\u00a0 Under current law, universal background checks would immediately result in the registration of ALL handgun transfers.\u00a0 For long guns, it amounts to decentralized gun registration — law enforcement would have to query FFLs to determine who bought\/transferred what.\u00a0 Universal GUN REGISTRATION has been gun grabbers goal for decades.\u00a0 Why?\u00a0 Because no effective GUN CONFISCATION program can be effective without prior registration.\u00a0 Just ask the gun owners of New York City and California, and happening now in Connecticut.<\/p>\n

2014 is mid-term election year.\u00a0 All 98 House members and 24 of 49 Senators are up for reelection (or election of new candidates) in November.\u00a0 Action this week in the 30th Legislative District as Senator Tracey Eide (D-Federal Way) announced her retirement, and former Democrat Representative Mark Miloscia (D-Federal) announced his intention to run for the Senate seat… as a Republican.\u00a0 This is not without precedent.\u00a0 After the 1994 Republican revolution, two Democrat House members switched parties to become Republicans, and several years later\u00a0 Republican switch sides to become a Democrat.\u00a0 Over the coming months I expect we’ll see more retirements announced, and several new faces when candidate filing begins in mid-May.\u00a0 I expect to see more retirement announcements before the May filing deadline. \u00a0More on election activity in future GOAL Updates.<\/p>\n

This will be the last of the GOAL Post weekly updates from Olympia.\u00a0 Barring a special session, GOAL Posts will not resume until the next regular session of the legislature in January 2015.\u00a0 I will continue to publish GOAL Updates throughout the year, probably on a monthly basis, as events develop in Washington and elsewhere in the U.S.<\/p>\n
