Gun control opinion

I don't think you would be as happy if you lived in Washington state. Thanks to billionaires money, and a slickly deceptive ad campaign, the "educated" voters of 5 of WA's 38 counties were able to pass the measure.

Thanks to them, now, ALL firearms transfers, outside of a tiny number of listed exemptions must go through an FFL for a background check. And, if its a loan, you have to go through the FFL and check twice, once when loaned, and once when returned!!!!

And although how, and what parts of the law are going to be enforced is still being figured out by the state, the law, as written makes you or I a criminal if we simply hand a friend a gun to look at in our own living room!!!!!

Yes, many continue to be in favor of "universal background checks on transfers" (all transfers). I do think that the populated portions of WA tend to lean toward the liberal side of the fence, so passing that law was no big surprise to me. Enforcement may be a problem. It may in fact be unenforceable when lending a firearm and certainly difficult on face to face transfers between individuals. Oh I've had this gun for years....
