Washington, DC – -(Ammoland.com)- In a recent email to Washington voters, Governor Jay Inslee (D) called for more misguided gun control legislation and went so far as to call NRA members a “destructive force.” The Governor is using law-abiding gun owners as a scapegoat for his failure to provide any practical solutions that would deal with crime and mental health issues in the state of Washington.
Current laws do NOT need to be “strengthened,” but they DO need to be enforced.
Currently, Governor Jay Inslee is circulating a petition in an attempt to generate public support for even more gun control. In 2014, the NRA argued that piling Initiative 594, a notably unenforceable law, on top of the preexisting and unenforced background check law was disingenuous.
From the beginning, I-594 was only going to burden law-abiding gun owners. Now that the Governor has realized this and the shortcomings of his Administration’s promises, he intends to double down and use the Obama/Bloomberg playbook to place even further restrictions on the Second Amendment rights of Washingtonians.
Members and Second Amendment supporters are urged to call Governor Jay Inslee and politely urge him to stop attacking law-abiding citizens with more unnecessary and unenforceable gun control and to dial back the inflammatory and inappropriate rhetoric.

Governor Inslee is a complete moron liar, nothing but a total P.O.S. he needs to GO.
The problem is that the hundreds of thousands of gun owners don’t vote with 80 million gun owners in this country there shouldn’t be any liberals in public office.

I contacted the Governor’s office immediately following and alert sent to me by the NRA. A very nice woman answered the phone and I described the email purported to have come from the Governor’s office (in very neutral terms). The woman was clearly exasperated by this email and the resulting outcry stating that she had been receiving a LOT of calls about the email and assured me that this did NOT come from the Governor’s office. I don’t know whether the Governor did author the email and he and his office now seek to deny ownership, or if this is… Read more »
Yes, because the constitution is simply a set of recommendations…..
His office received my letter on Thursday regarding this. It is just another of a multitude of pushes here in WA state to infringe upon the rights of gun owners. There is a bill for a statewide “fee” of $.05 per round of ammunition, another attempting to ban “assault weapons” (various semi-auto rifles, shotguns, and handguns) and “high capacity” magazines (wanting to limit them to 10 rounds, for now), another bill to ban concealed carry in virtually all public places, another bill to mandate destroying confiscated firearms instead of selling them to offset operating costs, and another bill expanding a… Read more »
