No surprise yesterday, Wednesday, February 27, the gun-control majority in the Washington House Appropriations Committee passed House Bill 1163, a permit-to-purchase bill, by a vote of 19 to 12. HB 1163 will now move to the House floor for consideration.
House Bill 1163 requires a permit-to-purchase and enhances requirements relating to the purchase, transfer, and possession of firearms.
Permit-to-purchase is just another scheme supported by animal extremists and gun-control activists to destroy our rights, values, and lifestyle. Restricting the freedom of peaceable sportsmen will do nothing to solve our public safety problems. Criminals who are the cause of violent crime in the Evergreen State do not purchase their firearms through legal channels.
