Wa. State hi-cap mag debacle.

[Mk-211]

Today Mon. the 8th, an injunction was issued. Of course, within hours, an emergency stay was granted.

Please stand by.

A link to a self-laudatory press release of the WA attorney general doesn't help determine what the law is. Perhaps a link to the decision that has been stayed might help.

A link to the WA supreme court commissioner stay:

You will note that there was no opportunity for the nonmoving party to be heard, and this decision was issued 88 minutes after the 55 page lower court decision was issued.

OK to discuss the decision or the law, but preaching to the choir isn't what legal is for.

This was quick! State Supreme Court will hear oral arguments, next week, April 17th!

Note to all Washington residents, a reminder that our Supreme Court justices ARE ALL ELECTED (unless appointed by the governor to finish out a term).
Take a look at these folks and tell me just how hopeful our case is:

OR Tried it here with prop 114. Before it even went into effect sales of all guns and ammo reportedly went beyond nuts. Folks ran out and stocked up as did the hoarders and profiteers. Now that its overturned prices have dropped any many are stuck with stuff they would HAVE NEVER bought in the first place leading to a glut. Sadly the fallout from this seems a open and hostile attitude toward law in general. Following the $$$ may lead you to some very disturbing conclusions.

Oral arguments are normally scheduled for a time after all briefs are submitted. I suspect that the oral arguments scheduled may be before the commissioner and associated with the stay of the lower court order, which has issues totally unrelated to the core of the case. The story also parrots the AG's release that claims the lower court has erred, which strikes me as overstepping the office. He is free to disagree, but he is not a judge and certainly not qualified to decide the case.

We have an activist AG who is strongly anti-gun and has actually written and sponsored bills that the legislature has passed, and the governor signed into law. However, the SSC is almost all Dems (they run as "non-partisan" but are all rated as Dems, originally ran for lower courts as Dems or were initially appointed by Dem governors) and doesn't seem to care about the huge conflict of interest demonstrated by the AG, nor many of his statements or actions that would seem to constitute some ethics violations. He has zero regard for the U.S. Constitution and routinely makes statements that should, but do not, alarm the state's residents.

He is now running to replace our current governor (he cannot run again) who wants to run for President.
