There was a rally in Olympia today, only about 150 or so showed up. The weather sucks, and getting to Oly from north of Tacoma has become something of a nightmare. So far as I know, though, there was no Open Cary jackassery, so we have that going for us...
(Since I am now working Graveyard Shift, any such activity is awkward for me, at best...)
In addition to the efforts on the part of Seattle commies to infringe on the Second Amendment Rights of Washingtonians, they are also said to be considering passing a "sweetened beverage" tax; from the description, they looked at the one Seattle itself recently passed and said "Hold my non-fat half-caff latte and watch this!"
(Milk-based beverages are exempt, but under this proposal, diet and alcoholic beverages will not be...)
This after the first order of business, which was repealing the state law requiring a two thirds majority for any tax bills.
Meanwhile, Hizzoner The Governor really, really, REALLY wants to institute a carbon tax on Washingtonians.
Like I said last week, batten down the hatches and fasten your seat belts...

Legislative Update from Olympia12 January 2018
- GUN RIGHTS RALLY
- LEGISLATIVE CALENDAR
- NEW GUN BILLS FILED
- PUBLIC HEARING SCHEDULED
The following cut-off dates are proposed for bills under
consideration in the 2018 regular legislative session. As a general rule, if a
bill fails to pass a hurdle, it is considered dead for the session. Exceptions
can be made.
2 February: Bills must pass out of policy committee
5 February: Bills must pass out of chamber fiscal committee
(only bills with major fiscal impact)
14 February: Bills must pass out of house of origin (House
bills out of House, Senate bills out of Senate)
23 February: Bills must pass out of policy committee in
second chamber
26 February: Bills with major fiscal impact must pass out
of second chamber fiscal committee
2 March: Bills must pass out of second chamber (House bills
out of Senate, Senate bills out of House), except for bills in a conference
committee to iron out differences in House/Senate versions,budget bills and
initiatives.
8 March: Sine die – close of regular legislative session.
HB 2363, by Rep. Pellicciotti (D-30), makes any attempt
to use a drone to deliver a deadly weapon to an incarcerated individual a Class
C felony.SB 6146, by Sen. Saldada (D-37), repeals RCW 9.41.290, our state
preemption law, that prohibits local government from passing its own gun laws.I
believe Washington was first in the nation with this, 35 years ago. 42 states now have preemption laws. If this passes,
every county, city and town can pass their own gun control laws, a patchwork
quilt of laws that will trip up gun owners traveling across the state.SB 6247,
by Sen. Dhingra (D-45), prohibits firearm possession by individuals with a
history of violence who are not deemed competent to stand trial.
The Senate Law & Justice Committee will conduct
public hearings on SBs 5992 (trigger devices), 6049 (magazine restrictions),
5444 (modern sporting rifle registration), 5463 (safe storage) and 6146
(preemption repeal) on 15 January at 10 a.m. in Senate Hearing Room
4, John A. Cherberg Building.That is the only public hearing on gun
bills scheduled this week.A strong turnout would help.
