GOAL Post #5 New bills continue to be filed, pro- and anti-gun. Laser pointers (to include sights) are the focus of three bills while another bill would extend the “instant check” exception for CPL holders. In a televised debate, Washington Ceasefire president Tom Wales (the “father” of I-676) said they would be filing a bill controlling private sales of firearms. It is unknown at this time if the restriction would apply only at gun shows or to ALL private sales. Public hearings will be held this coming week on SB 5554 (public transit gun ban) (Senate Judiciary Committee, Senate Hearing Room “1,” Monday, February 15th at 10:00 a.m.) and on HB 1682 (detention of students with illegal guns) (House Judiciary Committee, House Hearing Room “B,” Tuesday, February 16th at 1:30 p.m.). Bill Status
Go here to read more about the bills by number. Please call members of the Senate Judiciary Committee and note your opposition to SB 5448, a knee-jerk reaction to the November incident in which a Seattle bus driver was murdered and the bus crashed. SB 5448 would ban guns in/on all public transit assets, but would no more have stopped the Seattle incident than did the existing laws against carrying a concealed pistol without a license or against murder. Go here to find the Judiciary Committee members and how to contact them. You may reach your Representatives and Senators by calling the Legislative Hotline at 1-800-562-6000. Toll free! The hearing impaired may obtain TDD access at 1-800-635-9993. Also toll free! You may obtain hard copy bills, initiatives, etc., in the mail from the Legislative Bill Room FREE OF CHARGE by calling 1-360-786-7573. This article is edited for space.

Help the GOA E-mail Alert participants receive timely communication alerts via e-mail when there are bills or other actions being considered in Washington D.C. or your state capital. As a participant, you'll get the facts you need to let the politicians know just where you -- the pro-gun voter -- stand and what the politician must do. Your action will apply pressure to legislators when they need it the most. Together with other gun rights supporters you can make the legislator "feel the heat" until they "see the light." It is true that petitioning an elected official is a powerful legislative tool. Elected officials fear angry voters. That is why grass-roots action is so powerful. It reminds elected officials that they are there to serve the people and will be held accountable by the people. But when push comes to shove, politics is a numbers game. Hundreds means more than tens, and thousands mean more than hundreds. That is why we are asking you to subscribe, right now, to Gun Owners of America's E-Mail Alert Network. Each person counts. You can make the difference. It's easy to subscribe, here's how: 1) Send an e-mail message to goamail@gunowners.org 2) Indicate which state you live in (you can list that in either the subject line or the body of the message) After you send Gun Owners of America a request to subscribe, you should shortly thereafter receive a confirmation e-mail from our office. After that, you will receive alerts as they become necessary. Also, please know that your e-mail address will remain confidential. To find out more visit the GOA website. |
