    JANUARY 22, 2025

    A panel of Washington State Democrats have just introduced House Bill 1504 which would effectively price gun owners out of firearms ownership, eliminate legitimate defensive firearms use through predatory financial burden, and put lawful dealers and shooting range operators out of business.

    HB1504 would mandate that gun owners would have to put down a deposit of $25,000, with the receipt of the transaction to be displayed whenever they seek to purchase a firearm. It also requires shooting range operators to have minimum $1,000,000 coverage per "incident" on their premises.

    Once again disguised under the veil of "public safety", HB1504's real intent is to discourage and gradually completely eliminate ALL lawful gun ownership and use in the State of Washington through a tactic employed by most modern totalitarian regimes like Communist China, as well as historical organized crime: by hitting their targets in their checkbooks and making it too expensive for them to thrive within their area of operations.

    NOTICE: This is a NEW antigun bill which just had been introduced and was picked up by eagle eyed Youtube 2A podcasters. Once it starts moving and other parties become involved, updates will be posted with chronological bullet points in the OP.

    HB1504 SUMMARY AND TEXT:



    DISCOURSE FROM MR. WILLIAM KIRK OF WASHINGTON GUN LAW:

     
    This is insane. Perhaps it's (past) time to move elsewhere.

    Other shit that has been passed, and may go into effect in June/July will likely put my local hole in the wall gunshop out of business.

    Perhaps a public hanging/old west justice is in order for... well you get the picture.

    I sent a contact ticket to GOA shortly after making this one giving them a heads up on this new development for when they update the State Alert section of their mainpage complete with a fast track contact form to send messages to WA reps. The more coverage this gets everywhere, the better. Incremental shit like this is what causes eroding of once solid traditions and legislation. There is a whole bunch of fuckery going on in NY as well regarding 3D printers and "ghost guns". That had been the NY antigunners' biggest bugbear for the past entire decade.

    There are clearly some real unconstitutional issues with this bill. Obviously. But since when has that stopped them from passing this shit. It then bounces around in the court system for decades, ie California AWB. I’m so tired of this legal BS that keeps this unconstitutional shit alive. The legal maneuvering and the lack of hard, line in the sand, decisions from SCOTUS. Enough already.
