We have alerted you on several bills working to prohibit and restrict sportsmen from enjoying their hunting heritage.
Below is an update of these bills, along with the respective Take Action buttons you can use to email your state Representative and Senator urging him/her to OPPOSE the respective bill(s) before them. Make sure you use BOTH the Take Action buttons to ensure your Representative and Senator hear your opposition to these bills.
HB 1903 and HB 2118 passed the House Civil Rights and Judiciary Committee and are waiting to be heard on the House floor.
House Bill 1903 further victimizes law-abiding gun owners and sportsmen holding us liable for theft of our property by penalizing us for failing to report a missing or stolen firearm within 24 hours.
House Bill 2118 mandates additional costly requirements for licensed firearms dealers (FFLs) to continue to operate their businesses.
SB 5985 passed the Senate Law and Justice Committee and is waiting to be heard on the Senate floor.
Senate Bill 5985 places the unconstitutional provisions of the recent ban on commonly owned firearms into the section of the state code on background checks.
House Bill 1902 and House Bill 2054 did receive public testimony in the House Civil Rights and Judiciary Committee. They have not been scheduled for Executive Session or a vote yet. Keep an eye on your inbox for updates on the next action needed.
House Bill 1902 requires all individuals to obtain a permit with live-fire training to purchase firearms. An Oregon judge recently held a similar permitting scheme unconstitutional.
House Bill 2054 prohibits a firearm dealer from transferring or selling more than one firearm to a law-abiding sportsman in a 30-day period.
Make sure you use BOTH Take Action buttons to ensure your Representative and Senator hear your opposition to the respective bills.
And don’t forget to share this important alert with your family, friends, and fellow sportsmen asking them to also email their Representative and Senator asking them to oppose their respective bills. We must work together to stop the cratering of firearm ownership in the Evergreen State for today, tomorrow, and our future generations.
