Hearings Underway on Washington Gun Law
Published at
ChrisBoswell/iStock/Thinkstock(OLYMPIA, Wash.) — Lawmakers in Washington are now considering changes to a new law that requires background checks on gun deals.
Voters approved the law in November requiring background checks on all gun transfers, including deals between private individuals and gun loans.
Opponents say the law infringes upon constitutional gun rights and they want it eased.
Exemptions are being considered now.
Over the weekend, about 50 people, mostly armed, rallied outside the Washington State Capitol wearing shirts and hats reading “Fight Tyranny– Shoot Back.”
