NEW BILLS FILED<\/p>\n

MISSED A COUPLE LAST WEEK!<\/p>\n

TOY GUN CONTROL<\/p>\n

“SAFE STORAGE” BILLS BACK<\/p>\n

BILLS MOVE<\/p>\n

PUBLIC HEARINGS SCHEDULED<\/p>\n

TWO WEEKS UNTIL FIRST POLICY CHAMBER CUT-OFF<\/p>\n

FORMAT CHANGE:\u00a0 MERGING “BILL STATUS” WITH “GOAL POSITION”<\/p>\n

Only two new gun bills have been filed this week.\u00a0 SB 5789, by Sen. Jeanne Kohl-Welles (D-36) is the Senate counterpart to HB 1747, the “this does not mandate how a firearm is stored” bill.\u00a0 SB 5831, by Sen. Jim Honeyford (R-15) makes minor changes to the procedure to have firearm rights restored after certain misdemeanor convictions.<\/p>\n

While on the road earlier, I missed a few bills that should have been listed last week: \u00a0HB 1442 by Rep. Graham Hunt (R-2) promotes expansion of firearms\/accessories and ammunition\u00a0 manufacturing in Washington; \u00a0HB’s 1594 and 1692 by Rep. Sharon Wylie (D-49) would ban the manufacture, sale or possession of realistic-looking toy guns unless they are made of or coated with some bright color to indicate their non-gun status; HB 1731 by Rep. Timm Ormsby (D-3) is the House counterpart to SB 5381, mandates a waiting period before a firearm held by law enforcement may be returned to the legal owner and that any complainant be informed that the firearm is being returned.<\/p>\n

Toy guns in the crosshairs!\u00a0 Not content to go after real guns, Rep. Sharon Wylie (D-49) has set her sights on toy guns as well.\u00a0 She has filed HBs 1594 and 1692, both of which require all imitation (toy) guns sold or possessed in Washington to be made of some bright material or coloring to distinguish them from “real” firearms.\u00a0 I guess Rep. Wylie isn’t familiar with the real pastel pistols offered these days by some manufacturers.<\/p>\n

For the 11th time in the past 18 years, bills penalizing gun owners if they fail to lock up their gun(s) and it\/they are accessed by a juvenile have been filed.\u00a0 HB 1747 (Kagi, D-32) and SB 5789 (Kohl-Welles, D-36) are the bills in question.\u00a0 There are two significant differences in these versions of the bill from previous versions:\u00a0 they raise the age limit of unauthorized access from sixteen to eighteen, and they cover ALL firearms where previous versions only addressed LOADED firearms.\u00a0 The previous versions failed in several Democrat-controlled legislatures… these should die as well, but you can expect they will receive wide media attention.<\/p>\n

The bills contain a clear statement that “Nothing in this section mandates how or where a firearm must be stored.”\u00a0 True statement, as far as it goes, but misleading.\u00a0 If you DON’T lock up your gun(s), and a minor accesses it\/them, YOU can be charged with a crime.\u00a0 That’s the bottom line.\u00a0 And while many legislators don’t believe or choose not to understand it, one size of gun security does not fit all.\u00a0 Everyone’s circumstances vary, family configuration, maturity of children, security situation, etc.\u00a0 It’s not up to someone sitting in the comfort of the legislative chamber to decide for you what works for you.<\/p>\n

The existing reckless endangerment statute (RCW 9a.36.050) already criminalizes a person who unnecessarily endangers another person with ANYTHING.\u00a0 A charge of reckless endangerment was deferred in the 2012 Kitsap school shooting.\u00a0 Maybe they should run a bill requiring prosecutors to do their jobs.\u00a0 But what the bill’s proponents want is a GUN BILL, that demonizes GUNS, ignoring the fact that unintentional gunshot injuries are far down the list of dangers to children (and others).\u00a0 This isn’t about safety, it’s about politics.<\/p>\n

(The next time a gun control proponents talks about “reasonable, common sense gun SAFETY” legislation, ask to see his or her firearms safety instructor certification, or even a gun safety course completion certificate.\u00a0 They won’t have one.)<\/p>\n

Several hearings have been held on bills in the past two weeks.\u00a0 Executive action (a vote) has been taken on a few, others await a vote.\u00a0 Hint: a committee chair can sit on a bill and not hold a vote… ever, if he or she doesn’t want to move the bill\u00a0 HB 1131 (ivory sale\/transfer) was passed in amended form and sent to the House General Government committee for further review.\u00a0 SB5036 (use of body armor in a crime) passed out of Senate Law & Justice and now sits in Senate Rules, awaiting a pull to the Senate floor for a full Senate vote.<\/p>\n

At this point seven bills are scheduled for public hearing this coming week.\u00a0 Senate Law & Justice will take public testimony on five bills on Monday, 9 February, at 1:30 p.m.\u00a0 The bills are SBs 5831 (return of firearms held by law enforcement), 5476 \u00a0and 5539 (both exempt active law enforcement officers from the three-day waiting period on handgun delivery — just like that enjoyed by CPL holders today), 5579 (exempts security guards from the I-594 background check requirement) and 5615 (exempts active military personnel from I-594).\u00a0 HB 1731 (House version of SB 5831 — return of guns held by law enforcement) will be heard in House Judiciary on 10 February at 10:00 a.m. and HB 1857 (allows confiscation of firearms) in House Judiciary on 11 February 8 a.m.<\/p>\n

(If you can’t make it to a public hearing but want to submit comments on a given bill, you can do so via the legislative web site, on the specific page for each bill.\u00a0 Go to http:\/\/app.leg.wa.gov\/billinfo\/<\/a>, place the bill number in the box and click on “search.”:\u00a0 When\u00a0 the page appears for that specific bill, click on the green box labeled “Comment on this bill.”\u00a0 Keep it polite, make a point or two, and cut it off.\u00a0 This isn’t the place to vent — you do that on election day!)<\/p>\n

The first major cut-off comes in two weeks.\u00a0 There are two weeks remaining before bills that have not received a public hearing and committee vote will die.\u00a0 Given the number of bills yet to receive hearings and the limited time left, it’s clear that the majority of bill will die — technically, at least — on 20 February.\u00a0 You may see a few evening hearings scheduled as committee chairs try to cram bills in, but historically half or more of bills filed fail to clear to clear the first hurdle.<\/p>\n

At the request of several subscribers, I have changed the GOAL Post format slightly.\u00a0 Basically, I have merged the “Bill Status” and “GOAL Position” elements into a single section.\u00a0 You can read the basics about the bill (number, subject, sponsor, status” and on the next line, the GOAL position on the bill.\u00a0 I’ve tried putting all of it on the same line, but I run out of space.<\/p>\n

I’ve also been asked to prioritize bills, in support of or opposition to.\u00a0 I can’t do that for several thousand subscribers.\u00a0 Each of you has differing priorities, differing interests.\u00a0 You have to choose what’s important to you.\u00a0 If a particular bill needs special attention, I’ll do that in the narrative above.,<\/p>\n
