GOAL Post 2020-9
\nLegislative Update from Olympia 6 March 2020<\/p>\n

LAST WEEK OF THE REGULAR SESSION
\nBILLS MOVE
\nSB 6288 TRUE INTENTION EXPOSED
\nSB 6288 VEHICLE FOR GUN SAFETY?
\nRIGHTEOUS DEMOCRATS EMERGE<\/p>\n

This is the last week of the 2020 regular legislative session. No later than midnight, Thursday, 12 March, the gavel comes down for the last time. The only bills remaining under consideration are those bills affecting the budget (amazing how many of those there are), and bills that were amended in the second chamber, and thus must be concurred in by the first chamber or a conference committee of both chambers reaches a compromise. Most of the time over the next few days will be spent on conference meetings and floor votes \u2013 along with committee meetings to discuss planning between now and the next scheduled session (interim planning).<\/p>\n

HBs 2467 (centralized background checks), 2555 (background checks “other”), and 2633 (court order\/firearms surrender) all passed the Senate this week, but all were amended in the Senate and must receive a concurrence vote by the House. SB 5434 (day care center gun ban) and 6288 (firearm violence prevention) both passed the House, but again with amendments. So they go back to the Senate for concurrence.<\/p>\n

HB 2947 (magazine ban) still sits in House Finance. Because it contains fiscal provisions (magazine buyback), it can still be acted on at any time.<\/p>\n

SB 6288 is supposed to create a committee to address gun VIOLENCE prevention measures. But the language in the bill says a grant may be made to “implement an evidence-based firearm reduction initiative.” Section 6, paragraph (4)(b). That’s FIREARM REDUCTION, not FIREARM VIOLENCE REDUCTION. Convenient slip of the tongue. And therein lies the true intent of the bill. Look for gun control groups to file for grants.<\/p>\n

WE NEED TO DO THE SAME, to promote gun safety training. The good guys can apply for grants as well.<\/p>\n

Several righteous Democrats showed their true loyalty to their oath of office during the votes on SB 6288. In the Senate, Senators Sheldon, Hobbs, Takko and Van De Wege remained true to their oath. In the House vote, Representatives Brian Blake, Dave Paul and Mari Leavitt all held firm with gun owners. Paul and Leavitt are new to me. But I used to work with Sheldon, Takko, Hobbs, Van De Wege and Blake when all were in the House many years ago.<\/p>\n
