Washington State Proposes an Assault Weapon Ban for 2023
Washington Gun Law President, William Kirk, discusses the one piece of legislation that we all knew was coming this year, the Assault Weapon ban of 2023. These bills, SB 5193 and it companion House Bill 1180, is the 7th run at a ban of most, if not all, semi-automatic rifles. Once again, our Attorney General believes that by NOT banning the possession of these guns, it somehow magically transforms this bill into a Constitutional piece of legislation. It does not. So, while it is early, let's start to get our head around this and learn what all of this might mean to you, the lawful and responsible gun owner. Arm yourself with education today.

HUGE WIN on Bump Stocks and What That Means for Pistol Braces as Well
Washington Gun Law President, William Kirk, dsicusses some huge developments from Friday's ruling from the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals in the matter of Cargill v. Garland, a suit to overturn ATF's rather sudden and quick determination in 2017 that bump stocks where suddenly illegal. As you may recall, ATF had originally ruled that bump stocks were perfectly legal leading to thousands of lawful citizens purchasing what they thought were lawful products. BUT, this ruling has the potential to much, much more in the long run on other battlefronts that we face in the coming year, so learn about all of this and arm yourself with education today.

All the New Ways the Washington State Legislature Will Try to Disarm Its Citizens in 2023
Washington Gun Law President, William Kirk, discusses 3 new bills which dropped today on the State Legislature's pre-filing page. These three House Bills encompass many topics, but of interest is HB 1143 and HB 1144 which not only extends Washington's mandatory waiting periods, but also creates a first of its kind here in Washington, pre-purchasing licensing requirement. In addition to that, we also learn of HB 1130, a bill at the bequest of the Attorney General, which gives the Attorney General unfettered power to run just about any business out of business due to an expanded "public nuisance" law and newly created monetary penalties. Learn more about these bills and arm yourself with education today.

When the Chief Justice Quietly Tells the Gun Control States to Go Pound Sand
Washington Gun Law President, William Kirk, discusses the 2022 Year End Report on Federal Courts, authored by Supreme Court Chief Justice, John Roberts. Does the report have any important data in it?

Why Are New York's Red Flag Laws Unconstitutional?
Washington Gun Law President, William Kirk, discusses the recent ruling from the New York State Supreme Court in the matter of G.W. v. N.C. where the court determined that New York's Red Flag Laws, specifically CPLR Sec. 63-a are unconstitutional. But before we all start celebrating the reach of this ruling we have to understand the grounds upon which it was decided. While the ruling itself may have not have immediate impacts for those outside of New York, the long term effectiveness of this argument must be examined and used more often.

What a Washington State Semi-Automatic Rifle Ban Might Look Like.
Washington Gun Law President, William Kirk, discusses a huge "what if" which is what if the Washington State legislature actually passed a semi-automatic rifle ban? What would that actually look like? Well, we don't have to look very far to get a blueprint for what they are trying to do with lawful and responsible gun owners her in Washington by merely looking at the same piece of legislation that has kicked around Olympia for the last 6 previous legislative sessions. Specifically, today we look at Senate Bill 5217, which died in committee last year, but will most assuredly be resurrected with a new bill number and a new companion bill in the House. Since our Governor and Attorney General have not really come up with an original idea in years when it comes to gun control legislation, let's take a look at the old playbook and find out what this all means to us. Arm yourself with education today.

Has the State of New York Officially Pissed the Supreme Court Off?
Washington Gun Law President, William Kirk, discusses a very rare situation in which the United States Supreme Court has intervened in a matter, at the bequest of the plaintiffs in Antonyuk v. Hochul, a challenge to the implementation of New York's Concealed Carry Improvement Act of 2022. What is clearly a big middle finger to the Supreme Court, the Court of Appeal in the Northern District of New York had originally issued a Temporary Restraining Order against this law in a well-crafted and reasoned 150+ page opinion. The State of New York, however, immediately stampeded to the 2nd Circuit Court of Appeals, who almost instantaneously reinstated the law with no reasoning whatsoever. This has SCOTUS now asking New York to explain why they should not intervene and reinstate Judge Suddaby's restraining order. Learn how important this is to all of us and arm yourself with education today.

The ATF Issues an Open Letter on Polymer 80 Lowers
Washington Gun Law President, William Kirk, discusses today's release of an open letter to FFLs nationwide regarding the Polymer 80, Lone Wolf and other similar polymer "Glock" style frames and whether they, standing alone, constitute a firearm frame as contemplated by ATF Rule 2021R-05F, the ATF's new rule on Frames and Receivers. What should come as a surprise to absolutely no one, ATF has, in fact, determined that these frames, standing alone constitute finished frames, now mandating that a Form 4473 be completed and a background check conducted before purchasing one. What does all of this mean to you, the lawful and responsible gun owner? Learn all of that and arm yourself with education today.

Ferguson, the challenge to Washington's standard capacity magazine ban. But that date has come and gone with no fanfare? So, what is going on in both of these matters? Learn all of this and arm yourself with education today.

The Beauty of Bruen and Why It Matters NOW More Than Ever
Washington Gun Law President, William Kirk, discusses the pure brilliance of the Justice Thomas' majority opinion in New York Pistol and Rifle Assoc. v. Bruen. Although this rule of law was announced previously in the Heller decision, lower courts had long since abandoned the one part test announced by Justice Scalia opting instead for a two-part balancing test allowing political courts to tip the scales one way or another. Enter the holdings of Bruen, which once and for all, clearly defines the test moving forward for determining the legitimacy of gun control legislation moving forward. What does this all mean to you and why is it so important today? Learn all of this and arm yourself with education today.

What Happens When States Knowingly Pass Unconstitutional Laws?
Washington Gun Law President, William Kirk, William Kirk discusses a more prevalent political trend which is State legislatures that knowingly pass laws that are either contrary to the US Constitution or well-established Supreme Court Precedent. Today we examine this travesty in the Second Amendment community by referencing a law review article, written just a few years ago, when many more conservative states were passing abortion laws which were in direct conflict with the holdings of Roe v. Wade. But that case has now been overturned. What about states that are knowingly passing laws in violation of the clear holdings in New York Pistol & Rifle Association v. Bruen? (A case just announced by the Court). Can state legislators actually do this? Do we have any recourse? Learn all of this and more and arm yourself with education today.

How Likely Is It that ATF Shows Up for Your AR Pistol?

In anticipation of AR Pistol Amnesty Registration, many have asked how likely is it that ATF ends up knocking on doors and asking to see firearms for inspections. Further, how could they find you?

Can the ATF Just Show Up to Inspect Your Firearms?
Washington Gun Law President, William Kirk, discusses whether or not the ATF can just show up at your home and demand to inspect your firearms. We break this discussion down by focusing on two particular types of firearms, NFA regulated items and Non-NFA firearms. While many believe that if you own NFA regulated firearm that ATF can just show up, unannounced, and ask to inspect your guns. But can they really do that? Can they do that for any firearm or just for NFA items? What do you do if ATF shows up and asks to inspect your firearms? Learn all of this and more and arm yourself with education today.

The Washington Attorney General Busts Another Gun Store for Selling Unlawful Magazines
Washington Gun Law President, William Kirk, discusses today's "not so big" news of another gun store, WGS Guns in Lakewood, WA, who was also cited for violations of RCW 9.41.370 and 375 for selling unlawful "high capacity" magazines. With crime escalating on a daily basis, both violent and property crimes, it is reassuring to know that our Attorney General is working so diligently to keep our streets safe. But the real question is why was this violation barely mentioned in quiet press release from the AG's Office while the citations of Federal Way Discount Guns was treated like a major news event? Why has the Attorney General's office decided to handle these two very similar cases, so differently? Learn more and arm yourself with education today.
