Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Washington State new FFL ruling

Thank GOD I’m almost OUT OF HERE!

There’s no stopping these dipshits, not even the constraints that the Constitution places on tyrants in the government will rein them in, they ignore the Constitution when it doesn’t suit their evil agenda! They know that they will face a population that is furious at their tyranny and eventually the citizens will respond in kind to their despotism! This government has become destructive of the rights of the people and it’s time for a new form of government more suitable to the people to be instituted!
I hope that these despots suffer greatly…

with the amount of crazies out there I dont see any problem with requiring dealers to ensure they lock up and protect their stock from smash and grabbers. whats the big deal? most already do. 1million liability insurance. if you cant afford that then you have no business being a dealer. times have changed and there are gangs of criminals roaming around.

Speaking on behalf of the National Shooting Sports Foundation, Troy Nichols said the bill essentially addresses a problem that doesn’t exist.

“The stated purpose of House Bill 2118 is to prevent firearm thefts and straw purchases at dealerships,” he told the committee. “However, federal and state data clearly demonstrate that less than 2 percent of all firearm thefts in Washington state occur at FFLs.”

The firearm industry’s biggest concern, Nichols said, is the prohibitive cost of retaining video footage as required by the bill.

“Even planning for the minimum number of cameras required, when fully implemented, conservative estimates point to costs of more than $197,000 per year for each FFL to digitally story two years’ worth of camera footage,” he said of the House version of the legislation.

Sen. Lynda Wilson, R-Vancouver, contends the bill, if passed, would be a “death sentence on dealers.”

“Even the Seattle Times has editorialized against HB 2118, as noted in the article I wrote for TheGunMag.com Tuesday,” he emailed The Center Square.

“Should it pass, it almost certainly will be challenged in court because the impact on the firearms community and the small retailers would be devastating,” Workman said. “Even the Times admitted this, observing the bill ‘pushes gun control to a level of punishment for legitimate businesses.’”

Move to Great Brittan

Why does it cost $200,000 to backup two years of video ?

Foot on the neck of "free" citizens. Just politicians wanting more control of everyone's lives.
Submit.

Will throw out on same Grounds as the Colorado ballot case. Interstate Commerce clause.

you guys are too paranoid. they way i see it if gun dealers can lock up their [bleep] properly and not let it go out the back door or busted thru the front then we all have a better chance of being able to buy from them in the future.

I live in a small town in Oregon less than 6k people ( away from the lib bullshit) and our pawnshop sells guns to felons and psychos and our sporting good store has been busted for the same. these people are NOT doing it to say screw the feds but for GREED. who pays? I will when then all get shut down
Grow a brain

You think adding prohibitive costs to run a business is fine cause you're worried about smash and grab theft, but everyone else is paranoid?

As an aside, how many smash and grab robberies have taken place at gun stores in Washington in the last five years?
