Washington: Senate Passes Gun-Free Zone Expansion Bill
Dear [Lawmaker],
As a fellow resident of Washington and your constituent, I urge you to VETO Senate Bill 5098 when it arrives on your desk. Senate Bill 5098 prohibits the possession of firearms in parks, government buildings, and locations where “children are likely to be present.” While the legislation was amended to exempt concealed pistol license holders, the vague language could be interpreted and applied to interfere with hunting and recreational shooting opportunities. This overbroad language effectively turns the entire state of Washington into a "gun-free" zone. This bill does nothing to address crime in our state, and only penalizes law-abiding citizens. Again, I urge you to VETO SB 5098. Thank you for all that you do for our state.
Sincerely,
______
