Washington primed to ban sale, transfer of assault weapons

Recently, the “Assault Weapons Ban” passed both chambers of Washington lawmakers. This is unfortunate as it will surely cost taxpayers millions in defending an unconstitional law and, without question, the bill does nothing to solve deaths by firearms.

It is, however, a great opportunity to point out the root cause of shootings and crime overall: Prosecutors refuse to prosecute. In Pierce, King, and Snohomish counties especially, prosecutors are refusing to charge felons in possesion of firearms, and possession of stolen firearms. If people really want to slow crime and prevent gun deaths, the best course of action is to demand your prosecutors do their jobs. Right now, they’re not, and crime stats show it.
