Form Letter Opposing SB 6396

I found this form letter on the "Oppose SB 9369" Facebook page and thought I would post it up for my readers. You can find the contact information for your State legislators here.

Dear (INSERT YOUR LEGISLATOR HERE),

I am writing to express my opposition to SB 6396, "Banning the sale of assault
weapons."

Should it become law, this bill is unlikely to prevent any crimes. It would, however, severely impact your law-abiding constituents' exercise of their right to bear arms under both the United States and Washington State Constitutions.

This alone should be sufficient justification to vehemently oppose SB 6396.

The bill's provision for warrantless searches (section (5)(a)), however, is simply breathtaking in its reckless disregard for our traditions of freedom, and hopefully provides you with even firmer grounds for opposition. The very idea of forcing law-abiding citizens to arbitrarily open their homes to State police powers is repugnant and alarming.

I sincerely I hope that I can count on you uphold liberty by standing in opposition to this irresponsible bill.

Sincerely,
(me)
(my address)

It would also be beneficial to contact the members of the Judiciary Committee and urge the bill defeat before it is allowed to reach the floor of the Senate. Contact information for the members of the Judiciary Committee may be found below, however, be advised that Senator Adam Kline and Jeanne Kohls-Welles are primary sponsors of the legislation.
