Washington State Sheriffs Refuse To Enforce New Gun Laws | |||

AMGOA Staff In Washington state, a freshly implemented ballot initiative and a raft of new bills may produce some of the tightest firearms regulations in the US. But standing in the way is a group of rural law enforcement officers who say point blank that they won’t enforce any of it. The Klickitat county sheriff, Bob Songer, is one of them. He told the Guardian that the initiative passed last November "is unconstitutional on several grounds. I've taken the position that as an elected official, I am not going to enforce that law". Songer also cited ongoing litigation by the National Rife Association gun industry lobby and others which aims to demonstrate the laws violate both the second amendment and the state's constitution. He also said that if other agencies attempted to seize weapons from county residents under the auspices of the new laws, he would consider preventively "standing in their doorway". https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2019/jan/26/washington-state-gun-laws-law-enforcement-rural |
