House Bill 2354 is co-sponsored by Rep. Jim Moeller, D-Vancouver. I wish lawmakers would spend our time doing useful things instead of useless things. We have enough gun laws and crime laws. The bill that Moeller has wasted the state’s resources writing is a feel-good, do-nothing gun bill. It will not have any effect on fighting crime.
Why don’t legislators try working on mental illness issues?
I find it amusing that anti-gun types love to tell the masses the number of criminals that have been denied firearms because of background checks. I have never heard of any of these criminals being contacted by law enforcement for arrest. So you’ve got these thousands of criminals who have been identified trying to get firearms and nothing seems to be done about them even when the law says that just by that act they are liable to prosecution.
Oh wait, lawmakers still get to tout how many are being denied firearms because of background checks — but that is not the total picture.
With assault weapons being used in a very small percentage of crime in America, I wish Moeller would focus on matters that would have an effect on crime as opposed to his current direction.
