Misstep in gun bill could defeat the effort
One of the major gun-control efforts in Olympia this session calls for the sheriff to inspect the homes of assault-weapon owners. The bill’s backers say that was a mistake. .....
“In order to continue to possess an assault weapon that was legally possessed on the effective date of this section, the person possessing shall ... safely and securely store the assault weapon. The sheriff of the county may, no more than once per year, conduct an inspection to ensure compliance with this subsection.”
In other words, come into homes without a warrant to poke around. Failure to comply could get you up to a year in jail.
“I’m a liberal Democrat — I’ve voted for only one Republican in my life,” Palmer told me. “But now I understand why my right-wing opponents worry about having to fight a government takeover.”
He added: “It’s exactly this sort of thing that drives people into the arms of the NRA.”
I have been blasting the NRA for its paranoia in the gun-control debate. But Palmer is right — you can’t fully blame them, when cops going door-to-door shows up in legislation.
I spoke to two of the sponsors. One, Sen. Adam Kline, D-Seattle, a lawyer who typically is hyper-attuned to civil-liberties issues, said he did not know the bill authorized police searches because he had not read it closely before signing on.
“I made a mistake,” Kline said. “I frankly should have vetted this more closely.”

You should not put faith in the process not being rigged. This is not a fair fight. They lie, cheat and steal to get what they want and will not honor law....what they will do is twist any word, ignore any precedent and follow any perversion of interpretation to disallow truth and justice. They own many of the judges and you probably won't get to pick the venue.

Getting lots of people shot may be one way to address unemployment, but it isn't one I'd want to be remembered for.

Bad thing is that he's more interested in killing the ones paying the bills. Although, according to Pelosi, unemployment benefits are great for stimulating the economy. ::)

Are you referring to the dumb broad who thinks pay cuts will undermine the "dignity" of Congress ?

THe only way they would have 14% approval rating is if 14% of the people polled were congressmen.
